President Biden said in an interview released on Wednesday that he would re-evaluate whether to stay in the presidential race if a doctor told him directly that he had a medical condition that made that necessary.
Mr. Biden has said repeatedly that none of his doctors have told him he has a serious medical condition. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, wrote after the president’s physical in February that Mr. Biden is “a healthy, active, robust, 81-year-old male who remains fit to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
But his disastrous performance at a debate with former President Donald J. Trump last month, which prompted a wave of calls by Democratic allies to step aside, raised questions about his health and acuity.
Obviously laying the groundwork. Who is going to replace him?
Kamala
Ok. Then who is going to replace HER?!?!?!
It’s vice presidents all the way down.
We have to go deeper.
Just going to put this out there and hope … Al Franken.
Think about it.
Buttigieg
My money’s on Newsom.
Gross.
That’d be pretty electorally disadvantageous. Both names on the ticket from the same already guaranteed to be blue state.
I don’t know who it would be, but Newsome would be pretty far down on my list of options.
President and VP can’t be from the same state. More precisely, electors can’t vote for both a president and VP from the same state as themselves.
Hmmmm…

That goes on to explain in detail why my first sentence makes the second sentence true, especially for democrats and California.
Here’s how Bernie can still win…
A violent revolution
Bernie Sanders wants to save capitalism from itself.
Should we REALLY save capitalism? It most certainly wouldn’t save us.
harris but im still hoping for pritzker 🤤
I haven’t really dove into his career but everything I heard about him is shockingly positive. I doubt it’ll happen but that will be the easiest vote of my life unless some shady stuff comes to light
It is embarrassing that American politics have become such a selfish individual vehicle for well intentioned leaders that end up corrupted the instance they join the upper tiers of our current national government.
It is why neither party can present a better alternative candidate to a government that was built on the hopes of retaining an integrity to prevent the current shit show of a short term power grab happening now.
While Americans are robbed of over half their hard earned income, our leaders don’t even care that we know they are stuffing their pockets to take away another one of our protections or weaken the dollar or screw over the working class to further extend their margins while keeping this well oiled system running uninterrupted with them staying at the top.
Why are we settling for mediocrity, as the greatest economy in the world, in how our government is run? It is a puppet show at this point, our government seems like an archaic joke when measured up to what should be expected from modern humans who will work nearly a third of their life under the current system.
We deserve better than to be treated as uneducated fools while our protections and quality of life slowly diminish at everyones expense except the ruling class. We are the fools thinking voting into an already corrupted system will change what is wrong at its fundamental level.
