  • If Biden drops out of the race, the candidate would be Harris. He’d resign, endorse Harris, and it’d get confirmed at the convention. The only “fresh new, younger face” would be the VP pick.

    I’m not saying that’s a problem, but the idea that that an open floor battle at the convention would be a good idea is nuts, and just discarding the sitting VP like that would probably shatter the democratic coalition.

    This assumes that the mass shootings are a problem that they’d want to solve, but it’s not since mass shootings are useful to them. They’re flashy, get lots of media coverage, and feed a sense of chaos and societal breakdown. With that, they make the case the current system can’t keep you safe, and we need an authoritarian to bring order, which they’re happy to provide.
