      Maybe not.

      The Biden-Harris ticket is set in stone, and Harris is the sitting VP. If God exercises His Ultimate Veto on Biden, then Harris gets thrust immediately into the job, while also taking over the ticket and trying to pick a VP that can pass ratification in both houses of Congress. And the optics of picking one VP for a few months and a different one in the campaign are poor, so Harris will be saddled not only with a new job and a boring personality, but with a compromise VP that was picked to siphon off three or four Republican votes in the House.

      While if Trump eats one too many hamberders before the convention, Republicans have more options, because he doesn’t have an announced VP yet, and even if he did, that choice isn’t as permanent as the current VP. Since Trump has installed his people in the RNC, though, we shouldn’t expect much of a change. We’ll probably get Don Jr. to run in his place – they wouldn’t even need to change the banners.

      As ridiculous as Junior is, he will have an army of MAGAs who now revere his dad as a saint, while Kamala Harris is kinda meh. I don’t wanna see the result of that.

        Hmm, okay the best election outcome is actually trump dying during the election, biden winning against the new candidate due to Trump’s death demotivating Republican turnout, the dems also winning back the house and keeping the senate, and then biden having a heart attack on Groundhog day (just for flair)

      Because that would lead to what?

      Why is the liberal candidate dying so attractive?

      Do you think his party would substitute him with a candidate that suddenly disagrees with almost a century of American treaties and support for Israel? Do you think when Bernie makes a statement about accountability he has to actually do anything about that?

      Like I’m all for netanyahu getting a smack and a jail sentence but wishing death to Joe Biden feels like cutting off your nose to spite a liberal face.

        Biden’s spent his whole life carrying water for the most rotten and corrupt people on the planet. Just a shame he hadn’t died much sooner.

        If the McKinsey Consultants infesting his administration all want to go down with him in the same nose-diving Boeing Max Jet, the world would immediately become a better place.

        Because the guy is too old to really think about the consequences of his actions. He doesn’t have to live with them, the younger population does.

        Both he and Trump should be in a retirement home, yet here they are trying to lead a country.

      Biden has done MANY great things which means something given the Republican party’s full court press to stop anything and everything good from happening.

      Fuck you for wishing Biden fucking dies, he’s not perfect so throw him into the flames? You disgust me.

        Biden is unashamedly facilitating a genocide, I do hope he dies and I don’t feel bad about it

        He also callously lifted pandemic precautions for political expediency when the epidemiology did not call for it

          Trump is a far bigger Israel supporter, considering he ordered to move the American embassy to Jerusalem when he was president, which is a big no-no to any other US presidents before.

          I agree on the second paragraph but that’s virtually every where on earth. People are sick of the lock downs, which is understandable as there are people having been furloughed and businesses losing money, and not to mention the effect on mental health. Even China, whose people are passive to authoritarian structure, had major protests condemning the zero-COVID policy; which by the way, experts also say does not work as much as the gradient restrictions does not.

            I don’t disagree
