I'll say just one thing:
Every single one of you assholes who wouldn't shut up about him stepping down since the dude missed the toilet bowl fifty years ago after a particularly wild night out better sure as fuck step up now that Old Joe has stepped down.
A sitting god damned President of the United States has stepped aside less than half a year before reelection. Make no mistake: The man swallowed his pride and ego HARD to make this decision. Let's honor that by creating a wall of votes so god. damned. thick. Riley Reid would gasp.
Am one of those "assholes". Kamala was far from my favorite candidate in 2020, but I just donated a hefty (for me) chunk of change and will be volunteering. I didn't need perfection, just a feasible path to victory in November and now we have it. I'm so pumped right now, project 2025 no longer looks like an inevitability. LFG!
Riley Reid: Oh god you're going to make me vote
I'm voting at haaaaarrd
Nothing's going to make her vote at this point, she's just imitating it to please you.
I'll be there in November!
Side note, maybe we can have Riley Reid for the candidate?
Unironically better candidate.
Younger, healthier, charismatic, great on camera, focused in stressful situations. Also, she'll be great at dealing with congress because she is so experienced with dicks and assholes.
Being a self-made person through honest work would be frankly enough compared to an oligarch and a career politician.
"I'm Riley Reid and I (moans) approve this big, fat, thick message"
People are now saying Trump is winning because Joe step down. Like the fuck you guys want lmao
You gave them exactly what they wanted, are you surprised?
This is how you lose swing states. Troll farms couldn't have done it better. Now let's see how long before first smeer campaign pops up...
Against Harris? They have been going on for a while now, they just don't get a lot of press.
It took pretty much the entire Democratic party calling for him to step down before he would.
He came out and said multiple times that he wasn't going anywhere. He was forced out.
He came out and said multiple times that he wasn’t going anywhere
This was always going to be one of those things where "despite saying 8 hours ago that he was committed to the election and was not going to drop out, he has now dropped out". You're never going to see someone in these situations say "eh might drop out, not sure"
Exactly this. I knew all along that if Biden dropped out, it would be going from "I'm in this 100%" to "I'm out for the good of the nation" without anything in between. You can't do anything but that in politics, because a wishy-washy 'we're evaluating what's best for the country' would be the death of his campaign, and he'd have no choice besides "I'm out" at that point. Might as well just rip the bandaid off and go straight to "I'm out" without any intermediary steps. Be fully invested until you make the decision you can't be anymore.
You see it in sports all the time. "I'm dedicated to finding a good contract to stay in this city" then they sign a new contract with a new team.
Didn't he also get Covid last week?
Wouldn't surprise me if that's what sealed the deal for him.
I mean the deadlines are closing and having to fight to even stay in the race while president of the U.S. and recovering from an illness is not something anyone looks forward to.
Frankly I hope he can catch a break for a bit, and enjoy a pension after all this is over.
That's what was said, but it wouldn't surprise me if that was just cover to plan and execute this maneuver
So what.
The point is, it's time to unite behind a candidate and look like we want to win.
Lmao
I am one of those assholes. Once the DNC formally endorses a candidate I'll donate to their campaign.
man swallowed his pride and ego HARD to make this decision.
Should anyone care about his pride and ego?
Damn fucking straight! We had to hear gEnOciDe jOe for months, then “but hE’s OooooLd!”
No excuses.
wouldn’t shut up about him stepping down since the dude missed the toilet bowl fifty years ago
Thats one way to to phrase giving unconditional support for genocide and then completely blue-screening during a debate.
Ironically she's also known to have raped someone and didn't get charged.
I will vote for whoever the Dems put up, as I would have voted for BIden. It's fantastic that he stepped down, cause he is clearly unfit to serve. He should probably step down from the Presidency right now, asshole.
* for whomever
It's the object of the preposition, asshole. Git gud.
Truly a clarion call for unity.
It should be the objective case because it's an object of the verb "put up", not because it heads the phrase "whomever the dems put up". Who/whom has to do with its role in its own phrase, not the larger sentence/clause. Contrast "I will vote for whoever wins the dem nomination."
