What is the over under on the return of Hilldog?
I find it almost impossible to believe they will continue running Biden, but then again I did not expect them to let him run again from the start.
To all you outside of the US...

She’s fried toast. She’s been trying to raise her profile but she doesn’t poll well at all. If they went with her suddenly, it would be worse than staying with Biden. Newsom is probably the highest profile person who could feasibly replace Biden now. Unfortunately at this point parties don’t tend to take extra risk so it would be a straight white man with just the right amount of gray in his hair and in their political prime.
The real problem they face, if they want to switch Biden out, is convincing the governor of California to resign to run. He has 3 years left on his term. But he’s also term limited so he could go for it.
LesserAbe@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Seems all but impossible they’ll switch candidates now. There’s not a mechanism for it. It would have to be something like Biden having a major medical issue or dying.

I think we all just watched Biden have a major medical issue

There’s not a mechanism for it.
Democrats can name anyone as candidate at the convention in August. Biden being the candidate isn’t official yet.
JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Those don’t seem implausible based on my watching half the debate… Biden was struggling to get anything out(and it wasn’t just stutter, he seemed to not be in the room part of the time) and trump just vomited lies and non answers constant
CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 4 months ago
That is technically a mechanism. I’m wondering if Biden, Trump, or both experience some incredibly bizzare…accident…before November.
Idk if it even needs to be complicated. With Biden it could be every bit as simple as “Oh wow, look, he died in his sleep. NEXT!”. He looks rough. Wouldn’t take much.

I think they’d nominate Newsom over Clinton tbh.

The conspiracy theorists all say Joe is supposed to step down and Gavin Newsom somehow is added to the ticket which then will win. These conspiracy theorists also say that candidates are selected in advance by the powers that be and it’s all pagentry to deceive the gullible masses. Was this debate really an unepected plot twist, or was it planned?

notanaltaccount@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I am not saying I believe all these things. It’s just what they say.
All the “misinformation” “conspiracy theorists” seem to have gotten quite a few things right.

Biden was horrible, he is old, he should retire. (Saying this as an outsider) I have not much knowledge of US politics, just saw debate because it was viral

Well, i would have gone for slavery or genocide, but downing a financial building is probably the same from a POV.

Yea, sorry, no. You Americans cannot be trusted with something so important.

I’m right at the border (Windsor) and I don’t want to live that close to Gilead (which will happen if Trump wins).
uebquauntbez@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yeah, you true. Get out the popcorn and watch USA go down either with a 3yo minded constant liar or a 80+yo laggard. And learn mandarin.
then_three_more@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The 3yo minded liar is near enough 80 anyway.

Independent party exist, we need to wake up and vote for one great candidate that is not either of the two they present to US
zarkony@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
Unfortunately, that isn’t feasible in the current system. In first past the post every vote is damage control at best.
We need ranked choice voting everywhere before people will even consider a third party.

It’s best to start doing that in county and state elections first.

At this point the only thing I care about are hordes of m1 abramses if putin crosses the border. I don’t have any other expectations or hopes.
Trump was somewhat right about paying for it. Because if that’s the only thing that America can offer to the world then better name a price for the only thing you got.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 months ago
To all you inside the US: you might want to look up how assault rifles’ can be modified to be automatic.
I have a feeling that if Trump wins, someone will do the nazi salute thing again, but maybe insert “hail god!” somewhere into it, and this time it’ll be done by someone way more mainstream…
