No f*****g way should we change the Democratic candidate for the presidential election.

[Baitball Blogger]

It HAS to be Joe Biden. Look how difficult it was to get people to galvanize and vote for Hillary Clinton after the primary in 2016. Our party was divided, there were hard feelings that had to be resolved.

If you change the candidate now, we are going to see what happens in Florida with the Democratic candidates. Not enough name recognition, not enough connection with the person's platform and under the least worst scenario, people will not show up to vote because they are not convinced.

1. Also, a "new" candidate would

be start with absolutely no money.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Right. So I hope the pundits stop pushing the concept of talking to Biden as in hoping he'll step down.

If you're going to talk to Biden, do it only to offer him a Red Bull. No other reason at this point.

[Ocelot II]

2. It would be a mess. How would a new candidate be chosen, and by whom?

Primaries are over; it would have to be at the convention the old-fashioned way, but how could it even be done without dividing the party and causing all sorts of chaos?

[standingtall]

8. The only one that would make sense is Kamala Harris

and Biden would not only have to end his campaign, but resign the Presidency and that would still be a bad idea.

[Ocelot II]

15. Or it goes to the convention and other candidates compete with Harris.

Either way it would be a mess.

17. Erased

3. Andrew Yang is posting for his removal

On twitter right now.

[shrike3]

6. No one here cares what Andrew Yang thinks.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Who is Andrew Yang?

[shrike3]

11. Certain people think he's important for some reason.

[oasis]

12. Yang can go piss up a rope.

[Ocelot II]

19. Andrew Yang is not among the people whose opinions I value.

He can fuck right off.

[mzmolly]

4. It would have to be Joe's decision.

[quakerboy]

20. Thats the only way

We dont have a plan B.

[renthalwinston]

7. If not Joe

Then who? MSNBC was saying that some in the Democratic Party were talking of replacing Joe..oh my..

[EndlessWire]

24. I don't think they should--big Biden fan here--

but Harris/Obama might be acceptable. Obama can run for VP if he lives in a different state from Harris, and he is highly, highly respected. Repubs would shit a brick. It would destroy all the lies Trump told courting the Black vote tonight.

[DarthDem]

28. I suspect exactly no one who matters actually said that

Anyone who did is not a serious person. So Biden was hoarse. Big deal!

[Tribetime]

10. So you want to lose

[Elessar Zappa]

35. I'd say YOU want to lose if you're pushing for a new candidate.

[DemocraticPatriot]

13. Agreed. That would be political suicide...

Anyway, no potential Democratic "replacement nominee" polls near to President Biden against Trump--
almost all of them run about 10 percentage posts behind President Biden....

Replacing him is a political fantasy.

[orange jar]

14. I agree. It is way too late.

While I agree with the sentiment that Biden didn't do too well, it is absurd to call for a different presidential candidate. It is too late, and I just don't believe anyone currently available would have a stronger pull.

[alarimer]

16. It's too late at this point.

But those discussions should have happened as soon as he was elected.

[Diraven]

18. OMFG

Biden has a cold so he looked a little sick so we have to replace him because now he can't possibly win against someone who just proved he's pretty close to insane?

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Does he have a cold?

Is that confirmed?

[shrike3]

23. It's been mentioned, but I'm not sure by whom.

[emulatorloo]

26. Yes campaign said he has a cold.

Hope Trump gets it.

P.s. they said Biden did a covid test, not covid. Just a cold.

[Vogon_Glory]

22. The calls for a replacement for Joe come from

Talking heads and corporate media types who want an effing horse raise. The only reason I’d support replacing Joe is if an anvil fell out of the sky and killed him.

The jabs about Joe’s stutter make me angry. I have a stutter, and I still have my marbles. The candidate whose health we need to watch is Donald John.

[yellowdogintexas]

32. If the media would stop harping on it we would not be having these discussions, I think

The media hasn't stopped talking about the President's age since he was inaugurated. It is almost like propaganda.

[Grins]

25. Let's not go there.

No one is going to change the candidate(s.)
Primaries and caucuses are over and done. For both parties.

What both party’s have is what we are stuck with.

[liberalmuse]

27. That's crazy talk, but Trump is terrified of Biden so consider the source.

I'm not saying I'm not terrified of another Trump presidency, but c'mon. We know there are bad actors on the nets and in Russia, China, etc who want Trump in and they are working hard tonight, mark my words.

[edisdead]

29. Anyone peddling that here should be outright banned.

Sorry but thats how I feel. If you are not 100% on board with the nominee you SHOULD NOT BE HERE AT ALL!

[cjoki4]

31. Agreed

Stop this talk about replacing Biden - the best President of my lifetime!

Stop the panic. Neither won the night if looking at undecided panels, most are split.

Lets get back to "Ridin with Biden" and GOTV!

[Mersky]

30. The very thought is something the plutocrats requested

And will give gratuity for after the election. See how that works?

Biden will be fine. He’s under a SHIT TON of pressure. tRump’s only pressure was whether to lie about porking a porn star or $35 insulin. He chose to lie about both of those and 3 dozen more. So, same old tRumpshit (pretty sure that should be a compound word at this point.)

33. tfg has some more big fuckups coming his way.
