Wow, what a mess. He should have made this decision a year ago.

He should, but I'm excited to see if the Democrats will come up with a candidate that can actually make Democrats more excited to come out and vote. Trump is a pretty good motivator for Democrats, but we need excitement of the Democratic side of the ticket as well. I'm hoping for a Harris/Shapiro or a Whitmer/Shapiro ticket.
I just had to look up Shapiro and that is probably not a good sign. I wouldn't mind a Harris/Whitmer ticket. I think it has to be Harris if you want to easily get on the ballot.
Nah, Josh Shapiro is pretty well known and very popular in an important swing state. I could also see good potential in a Harris/Kelly ticket with Mark Kelly being well known and popular in Arizona, another swing state.
I'm surprised that Buttigieg is not mentioned more often. Brilliant, fantastic communication, midwestern, white man (but not straight, lol), no valuable seat left open. And his recent takedown of Vance is a great example, would love to see that VP debate.

Biden has served well. I hope Democrats aren't making a big fucking mistake here. But I guess its too late for that now. Biden drops out before Democrats come up with a plan, what could go wrong?
Thanks, Obama.
No seriously, thanks Obama!
Give me a Jon Stewart / Katie Porter ticket!
More TV personalities aside from Trump?
Can we stop with that and get back people who have like, experience on the job?
Hey ozma, how's it feel to be right that biden would drop out? Something that you and I have discussed on here before.
I’m in your camp, but honestly, fuck being right. Until our candidate either wins or loses, that is. One thing I feel confident about is that we have avoided certain defeat.
Any D 2024. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
Yeah.. now we got a REAL race! Hold onto your butts!
I got the news alert as I was looking at the Declaration of Independence at the Huntington Library hah!
Good image, good time. Stay true to yourself, R2O.
