No way!
I just hope he gets elected, then we can start pushing for a decent candidate in 2028, giving us 4 more years of “somewhat normal.” Hopefully Trump will kick the bucket and all that nonsense will be behind us. Fuck politics 😩
I hope so too… I just fear what crazy republican comes after Trump and god forbid his sons get involved.
The only thing we can do is keep exposing their criminal activity. I mean, they’re just breaking laws in the daylight. If we can all keep our shit together, we might be able to last long enough for law breaking to become taboo.
2028 will be another "Her turn!" election with Harris and she will lose badly.
There won't be a 2028 if Biden loses.
I'm very sad for how true this will be.
Nah, they're obviously gearing up to push Newsom in 2028.
I hope he doesn't get elected and kicks the bucket.
Assuming you mean Biden, that would mean Trump would be elected. So, you’re voting for Trump I take it?
No, if Biden kicks it after winning, the vice president would take over, not the loser of an election.
Oh I see, AFTER winning, death.
I’m not against that.
Considering that the next most competitive candidate was "not committed," literally nobody is surprised.
Why bother being committed if the DNC isn't going to support you?
(Despite what I just said these candidates should be committed and the DNC and GOP need to start acting in the best interest of their constituents and stop propping up unqualified candidates.)
And if everyone would just slow down and stop changing lanes, there would be a lot less traffic.
I mean the spin from the White House makes it seem like it was such a hard fight to win the nomination. Biden basically did nothing to win hah
Any excuse to associate the words "Biden Wins Georgia" in the minds of voters.
ZOMG! The sitting president is the official candidate? I am shocked! (●__●)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, NBC News projects, winning a majority of the necessary delegates and setting up what is expected to be a bitter, closely contested rematch with Donald Trump.
"He was forced on us by the establishment, but he is manifestly not the same man that he was even three years ago, and that has made him less optimally fit for the office, if not simply unfit," Liano Sharon, a Democratic National Committee member from Michigan, said in an interview.
"They [the Biden campaign team] got one of the most impressive opportunities at a reset with the State of the Union," said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League and a former mayor of New Orleans.
Biden's challenge now, eight months before the general election, is to energize Democratic and independent voters who largely don’t credit him for the strong economy and a string of bipartisan bills he ushered through Congress.
Rather than reward him with another term, some Democrats in Michigan and other battleground states are considering leaving the top of the ballot blank because of a war that has killed more than 30,000 people in Gaza.
Even if he had opted to enter that race, Obama and his political team had made it clear their preferred candidate was Hillary Clinton, not Biden.

I was on pins and needles.
