Any moment now, the 'don't vote for Biden' group will be in here telling us not to vote for Harris. And if it isn't Harris, they'll tell us not to vote for whoever it is.

Anything but stop the dictator and his plan to commit genocide against Latinos and queer people.

An aside, I hate that this was posted to twitter before it was posted to Biden's own website or the White House's website first.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL MY BIDEN HATS, FLAGS, T-SHIRTS, AND STICKERS?!

/Just kidding - not in a cult 😅

So all of the Biden doom-posters are going to support the new candidate to save us from the fascist, right?

This is a call out, r2o

It's finally over. Now get in someone who can beat Trump.

Honestly the biggest problem Biden had was that all his funding dried up after the debate.

Regardless of who you think would win in a vacuum you gotta acknowledge this.

Bernie 2024, even if he dies of a heart attack first day his appointments would change the country for good and I don’t trust any party politicians on Palestine.

It's

Joever

Update: He endorsed Harris: https://nitter.poast.org/JoeBiden/status/1815087772216303933#m

Biden endorsed Kamala. =)

As much as I think that he was too old for the position… JFC. If the Dems don’t nominate Kamala Harris as his replacement, the entire Democratic nomination will be filled with so much infighting that they will lose the faith of their electorate and the next election.

If only more Dems were left-of-centre such that Bernie was a viable option. Unfortunately almost all of them are right-lite.

I'm going to donate to DNC to signal that this was a good idea

Welp they must have looked at the data and saw Kamala or someone else would do significantly better. Hope they're right.

In 2016 it was a "Vote Against Trump Regardless Of Who It Is". It's shaping up to be that again, but this gives me hope that maybe we'll have someone we can vote for that we like... Even if just a little. Harris is no Obama in charm, but it's a step in the right direction.

Honestly… such a class act!

It’s like pulling a reverse Nixon.

"How Democrats would pick a new candidate if Biden drops out, step by step"

One [possibility] is a virtual vote that would lock in a new nominee in early August, and the other is an “open” convention, a scenario the party hasn’t experienced since 1968.
A convention is open when no candidate arrives with a clear majority of delegates, so the event turns into a mini-primary in which contenders scramble to persuade delegates to vote for them...
Some states have August deadlines to get on the ballot for the general election, and early voting begins in some places in September. So party leaders probably would try to settle the nomination before the Democratic National Convention begins Aug. 19.

There are two types of Democratic delegates. Pledged delegates commit to supporting the candidate state voters chose, although a “good conscience” clause in the party’s rules gives them a bit of wiggle room.

Automatic delegates, often called superdelegates, are the party’s highest-profile leaders. They have the role because of the offices they hold (or held), and the group includes former presidents and vice presidents, Democratic governors, members of Congress and party officials. They are not pledged to any candidate and are not allowed to vote on the first ballot at the convention.

So president will be decided by the Sperm Court. Autocorrect definitely not worth fixing

What happens now? Does the DNC pick a replacement or will they be holding a snap primary?

From my European point of view, i just hope she picks Kelly as her VP. A progressive Astronaut, Ambassador for UNITED24 and someone that knows that we should save us from the ultimate climate collapse...maybe we can get Alexander Gerst here in Germany to do some politics :D

So the back the blue party of law and order will vote for the cop instead of the convicted felon now.

Just like the religious moral right will vote for the actual church attending catholic rather than the guy who doesn't go to church and doesn't know how to hold a bible upright.

I'm not American but want to be in the loop. Media here is saying Kamala Harris is the likely successor. What do people think of her? Is she liked? I assume her actual politics are more or less the same since she was VP.

They should make Hunter Biden the VP pick, what a glorious troll that would be

MICHIGAN is now back in play

"We're in the endgame now"

HO-LEE SHI-TUH

I see so many suggestions for different people to run in bidens place, and I fear that that may lead to enough disunity for Trump to win an Election

Leaves me curious to see how this will play out

Well at least he could graciously withdraw I suppose.

Kelly-Harris or Harris-Kelly.

Either one of those combinations stomps Trump into the pavement.

Honest question.

Now that Biden is out, can any Democrat run for election? Or is Kamala it?

Party before country. Interesting wording.

What if he stepped aside today and Harris could run as the incumbent?

Wow, what a day!

Biden and Bernie would be an amazing ticket

Dumb. All because of a bad night that the media turned into a storm. Real world performance metrics were actually quite good for Joe. The Republican candidate says stuff on par with a semi-comatose baboon every time a microphone is in front of him. Supporters of this are oblivious to how much seething sexism and racism lies just under the surface in the US. This was a big part of how we got into this mess in the first place and why estimates for Hillary's success were so far off. It will be an incredible win if she pulls this off, but it's just not going to happen.

the DNC just threw the election... wow. billionaires really do control our country.

Well congratulations "liberals", bots, propagandists, defeatists. You win. If Trump had beaten Biden, it would have been Biden's fault, along with the party. Now the party gets to share the blame with you. You lot gambled this for the rest of us. Let's hope your bet pays off. Open your wallets and hit the pavement. If you're a real person and you pitched a fit so this would happen, you got what you wanted. Act like it. Your lobbying won you an obligation to campaign. If you were on social media begging for Biden to quit, now you owe the time you spent here to Harris's campaign (or whomever the fuck they nominate).

You bought it. You own it.

Not voting for a prosecutor. Guess it's third party again.

This is so incredibly reckless and foolish. Democrats just handed victory to Trump because they seem incapable of party unity. There is no better candidate waiting in the wings and Biden was polling very competitively against Trump.

Disliked Biden, hate Kamala. Voted for them. Kamala and anyone else, nope.

They need someone hopey and feely like a 2008 Obama. If they don't find that, the Dems are toast. And I can't think of any mainstream politician that could get that reaction apart from maybe AOC. But that would get just as many MAGAs on the other side out to vote and they'd still lose.

You need empowering Democrat that is neutral to the MTG loving republicans.

Maybe Newsom? But if I had to bet it will be Kamala and another woman or minority to get the double whammy and they'll surely lose.

Good. So long Genocide Joe.

Edit: To the neoliberals downvoting this, this is what your denial is supporting. Joe Biden is pro-genocide and so is anyone who supports him. There's not even a practical reason to support him at this point, which is very telling to anyone still defending him.

Fuck zionism. And fuck anyone who thinks Biden is a "good guy" or moral by any stretch of the word.
