MAGA's response to President Biden's announcement

[TagliatelliMonster]

As far as Biden remaing President I have a coouple of questions.
If Biden is not running for President because of health reasons (which is quite obivious he has lost it) then is he unfit to continue as President?

If he considers himself unfit for an additional term of 4 years (meaning to continue till he is 85), how does that translate to being unfit to do his job for the next few months only?

If Biden is not running for President because the Democrat elites convinced him that it would be best for the party (which they admit is an issue) then this means that they are putting the party before the will of the people and they are a threat to democracy.

Right, the "democrats" are threat to democracy. Not the pathological narcissistic liar who tried to overturn elections, who's followers stormed the capitol trying to find his VP for refusing to not ratify the election results and who's threatening with more violence borderlining civil war in case he loses the next elections also.

Uhu.

You mean, those same voters who were demanding him to step down in the weeks prior to him deciding to step down?

No, because it was the elites and behind-the-scene plutocrats that did that, not the voters.

[It Aint Necessarily So]

You have a fertile imagination for conspiracies. It's very simple: Biden accepted the judgment that it would be better for the country if he passed the baton to Harris, so he did. It was a heroic, selfless gesture reminiscent of Washington walking away from the job by choice for what he saw as the good of the nation.

Nobody has leverage over Biden just like nobody has leverage over Trump's political decisions including the legal system.

I really dislike the way MAGA uses the word elite: "a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society." That describes Special Forces, Hall of Fame inductees, Mensa members, and Nobel Prize winners. That is something to strive for, not deride.

And who derides the elite? The mundane.

You mean, the same people who were saying he was fine till apparently he wasn't?

Biden was and is fine mentally. His infirmity is physical. He appears weak and stiff, his voice is soft. He makes an occasional verbal gaffe, but so do you and I.

You saw him debate with a respiratory infection, but you also saw what he looks and sounds like when well a few months earlier during his State of the Union speech.

Sounds to me like they actually listened to the voters this time.

And Peter Thjeil and D Trump Jr selecting J.D. Vance is a better example of the voters choice.

LOL

The voters delegates at the GOP convention voted for Vance. According to the rules voted upon by the body of the members of the Party. In stark contrast to the Democrats attempting something never done before and without foundation.

 

[We Never Know]

Biden accepted the judgment that it would be better for the country if he passed the baton to Harris, so he did.

Biden accepted the facts that donors, collegues, and high profile people were no longer behind him and supporting him and they all wanted him to bow out because they believed he could not win and his loss would hurt future elections for the dems.

IMO it was obvious they would not have confirmed him at the convention which would have been a disgraceful slap in the face.

So it was his best choice to pass the baton to someone else who they said would have a better chance of winning, so he did. He chose to pass it to Harris.

You really need to pay attention to the news, not your fantasies, similar things have happened before, anybody who can collect 300 delegates can get themselves on the ballot when the delegates which is what the primary voters voted for can still be the peoples choice, but Harris already has support from 2600 of them last I heard which will be sufficient for the duly constituted Democratic Convention to nominate her for inclusion on the democratic party slot on the ballots.

All of this imaginary pissing and moaning has nothing to do with the actual process or its legality which is why only you and a few other fringe people are still holding on to this idea that something strange is going on here.

Again, I challenge you to tell us just how anyone's rights are being violated beyond that you and maybe a few others were ignorant to begin with.

There are no challenges from Democrats and even those who might have preferred an open convention have signed on at this point seeing the reasons behind it.

On July 22, she had 3,359.
With 39 undecided.

How many Democratic delegates are backing Kamala Harris?

I rather doubt @Shaul is one of the 39.

ETA, that is updated total per article, not actual July 22 total but still.

Well he sure ain't one of the 3,359.

How is it a threat to democracy and putting party before the People when they responded to the People's concerns of Biden's ability for another term?
No, the threat is when you threaten state officials for not just "finding" some ballots to throw the election and telling everyone its the other guy who stole it. It's when you say a traitor is a man who upheld his Constitutional duties.

People can't change their minds? People aren't allowed to be wrong?

I have studied how you are exercising wishful thinking. It is quite humorous.

You're like the nickname of the kookaburra in Australia.

The fact of the matter is that the Dems had all the right to do what they did under the law, and if you were even close to being correct then why don't the Pubs take them to court?

 

[metis]

One old, RICH man is gone, now time to beat the other one.

And go with the twice impeached felonious insurrectionist instead?

 

[Kathryn]

And go with the twice impeached felonious insurrectionist instead?

I just said beat both. Wow. Reading comprehension.

 

[Kathryn]

People can't change their minds? People aren't allowed to be wrong?

Oh come on, THAT many people?

 

[SkepticThinker]

Oh come on, THAT many people?

I changed my mind after I saw Biden's debate performance.
Is it really that crazy?

Up until then you thought he was fine? Many people were around him extensively, which I doubt you were.
