Current Events > Alt Right Bill Maher calls for Biden to withdraw from 2024 presidential race

(+) Yeah! (+)

Think of how terrible itd be if Biden had to drop out and we lost our incumbent advantage. Thats why we should throw away our incumbent advantage now! Guarantee that we dont get it so GQP has a sporting chance.

My money is on the exercising 80 year old faring better than the obese 78 year old.

What happened when Trump almost died before the election? Oh, he still ran?

Republicans tanking their campaign by trotting out an unhealthy geriatric that could die or go to prison at any moment is their own fucking problem. How does that hurt the dems like trotting out literally the only candidate that could rival Trump in that he could have a single health scare and hand the election to fascists?

This isn't hard.

Incumbent advantage applies to party btw, not president.

So you seriously believe having no candidate in the middle of an election is better than putting up a candidate who could win just as easily who won't suddenly not be a candidate anymore?

History disagrees with you. H. W. Bush and Herbert Hoover are the only people in the last 100 years to not be an incumbent and keep the presidency for their party.

Not just as easily and any candidate has the potential of dying. Biden dying puts us in the same position that you want to put us in now. If it's so bad, then why are you wanting to make it happen?

Well this is definitely the most disinginuous accusation of the topic. I surely will be responding to this good faith poster.

You've been arguing in multiple topics now that you want to force Biden out and have "other candidate" run.

Because I don't want the country's future against fascism hinging on a geriatric center right candidate making it until election day without a single health hiccup. Especially when his literal VP would win.

If his VP would win then whats the issue with his VP taking over if something happens to him?

Nothing after the election. During the election? That's a complete clusterfuck.

If it happened now theres still time to run a primary. If it happens late the DNC will pick someone and according to you theres lots of options for who could win instead.

Who should they run that could win a national election?

You don't see how the DNC scrambling to find a replacement midway to the latter end of the election would make moderates lose confidence?

Come on now

Kamala. Gavin. AOC. Literally anybody.

Kamala. Gavin. AOC. Literally anybody.

This post is why people call you a disingenuous right winger.

If Biden died in August, your choice Kamala would be the incumbent and sitting POTUS.

Actually the issue isn't if he dies. It's if his health is in question. Kamala would not be the candidate or incumbent at that point. It would be a disaster.

There's no reason to worry about the scenario that you just made up any more than there is to worry about a candidate having a random aneurysm. And even in your scenario, they do have a candidate.

Wanting to make sure Trump isn't elected isn't concern trolling, no matter how much you'd rather risk it because you support Biden more than you support antifascism.

Yep, I'm a pro LGBT, universal health care supporting, anti fascist and socialist leaning, police defunding advocating, climate change believing, pro choice alt righter!

You got me!

Tell you what, if some regulars here can vouch for you in advocating for those things outside your concern topics about Bidens age, I might believe you.

In which case that just makes you an ignorant progressive who's clueless and not serious about an alternative. You listed 3 people that either can't win or don't wish to run.

Nobody wishes to run. Come on.

Trump will be in prison

Absolutely bullshit. Shock with the projection again, his gimmick today is gaslighting.

I don't think you know what projecting is, my guy. And you already admitted before that you were a hardcore conservative years ago before Trump. So instead of trying to hide that, maybe just be honest and say you You've long since swung the other way.

Because I don't want the country's future against fascism hinging on a geriatric center right candidate making it until election day without a single health hiccup. Especially when his literal VP would win.

for no reason other than you follow along with right wing talking points

You don't see how the DNC forcing out an incumbent president and now they have to scramble to cobble together a primary a year before the election would make moderates lose confidence?

Come on now.

You're the one that wants to risk it by forcing out an incumbent president because you believe right wing talking points.

Not to take a dig at Bernie because he was my preferred choice in 2016 and 2020

But its definitely noticeable that he wasn't getting even 1/10th of the flak Biden is getting for his age

If Biden, god forbid, has a stroke in August, is said to be recovering in September, and in October the dems still can't decide if they should go full speed with him or Kamala, then that is a major issue and there is essentially no candidate.

Are you caught in a loop? I already addressed why both of these points are wrong. Which is weird, because you talk about right wing talking points but getting caught in a loop is generally what right wingers do...
