Joe Biden is out - God bless him

[Mommybunny]

Put the country before himself - yes, finally, but he’s done it.

Please God let my country be ok.

I’m not trying to hear that! I so want a woman in the WH

It is difficult enough as a woman to be take seriously in this world. Please give this another think.

My own spouse couldn’t do my job for a day, nor would I try to do his.

He would appoint a successor. Perhaps one of his awful sons.

My strong feeling is he wont win for reasons not yet clear.
But we will see.
I think its dangerous to push despair because it makes voters apathetic.
Take heart from the French election where they rested victory from the jaws of defeat at the 11th hour.

No, i won't as it isn't going to happen and nor are we in a critical thinking class. Thanks, tho!

@Mommybunny Not sure Biden is as cognitively challenged as Clooney, TV and newspaper commentators, major donors, senators, members of congress all of whom said he was intellectually on top of his game.
Poor Democrats donated, 14m supporters voted in primaries - who in God's name has any credibility to say anything between now and the election?

There is no point in denying that misogyny is still a huge problem.

Thats why women still get treated less favourably than men.

You ignoring it won’t mean it’s not happening because it clearly is.

I agree, but I can see Trump jnr 'taking over' as the years roll on. A political dynasty with King-like powers (thank you, Supreme Court justices) and no moral compass, sense of public duty or conscience whatsoever.

That's true, and a good one to think on.

Most of my work is in the US, along with family and friends. I feel very worried, so thanks for the glimmer of light.

Americans who dont want Trump wether on the Left, Centrist or Rebublicans must put all their energy behind whomever the Democrats elect and vote their hearts out.
Bearing in mind, again, the impact on the rest of the world of his insanity.

Money. Nobody poor can afford in the US to run for President. But yes I agree both candidates far too old. Both mumbling, rambling. Keep the nuclear button well away. Please?

It was a selfish decision to leave it this long. And by endorsing Harris who is very unpopular and has absolutely no chance of winning he’s handed it to the Republicans on a plate. The democrats have such a short window of opportunity now. They need someone who has a chance of winning. I think someone like Michelle Obama would have been a better choice.

California hates her, especially the Bay area. She caused a lot of damage there when she was a cop. I highly suspect that there is some truth in what Musk is saying about people in San Fran suddenly openly supporting Trump if they believe Kamala is the alternative.

One recent change is that n one in the US is taking this kind of hyperbole seriously any longer. Even the tops dems are privately admitting things are not as bad as they pretend, regardless of who is elected.

I fear this. Republicans have paid the long game with the court. It really isn't unthinkable, but it is terrifying to me to think about.

If Kamala stays on the ballot as VP doesnt that mean no funding problem?

Trump is an irrelevance really. Its JD Vance who us being groomed as a presidential candidate and I think he will do incredibly well with voters in years to come (sadly)

When you say work do you mean physically or virtually?

Are you willing to share your worries? We are isolated here in many ways by our own experiences, region, sector, etc. I’m always curious to hear what others are thinking and seeing.

That is one of many vile and belittling names Trump gave to his opponents.

Yes Stacey Abrams would be my choice, i really respect her

Pleasure, they really must unite and vote despite any issues with the next candidate and not assume its a done deal eitherway.
There is as usual, Putins sticky fingers online pushing divisiveness
to undermine the process.
They admitted gleefully last year their involvement in the last two elections and that they would do it this time too.
People forget or think its a conspiracy theory, but it isnt, its just pragmatism.

There is not a single Supreme Court Justice that would overrule presidential term limits. It would be impossible for this to even make it off the house floor anyway. We aren’t monsters or idiots.

With extremist/maga voters, who are not the majority. His extremist views are coming to light now, and are not well received. The big problem is dem voter apathy. If dems had better voter turnout, magas would not stand a chance.
