Cripple. History Major. Vaguely Left-Wing.

I’d prefer him to stay in if, realistically speaking, he is capable of doing so.
However, I also recognize that, even if he IS capable of doing so, he has not inspired confidence in the electorate in being capable of doing so. That alone may mandate his replacement even if all it was was a bad night.
I don’t think he’s in rapid decline - but if he is, or if he isn’t but feels he cannot convincingly portray himself as well going forward, stepping down might be the right choice.
Harris doesn’t inspire confidence for me, but she may still be the better choice. Regardless, if she’s the Dem candidate, she has my total support for this election, because I would very much like a choice in every election of my life going forward.
Regardless of one’s opinion of the current situation, that he is considering it is a good thing. There are probably no good options, but if the pros and cons are weighed and the conclusion is that Biden endorsing someone else is the better choice, then that’s what should be done.
Regardless, voting this November is about voting against fascism, regardless of who the Dem candidate is.
No.
Biden being replaced is a possibility. Michelle Obama being that replacement is unlikely and, compared to the prospect of having actual current politicians replace a political candidate, undesirable.
lmao, I mean, I don’t think it has any real chance of happening. But what stops it is Biden being Biden. If it were, say, a fascist in the Oval Office, the only question would be “Who do I ask to do this dirty work?”
I hope that’s true, but I have my doubts.
It’s funny (or ‘funny’ if you prefer) that US Republicans are monarchists instead of republicans.
No one knows his darkest secrets anymore, except the brain worm, which consumed the memory
It’s all about asking the right people.
King Juan Carlos of Spain.
If it did, he could just outlaw felons from becoming President. SCOTUS doesn’t want that.
“I have ordered the military to detain Donald Trump in a Federal max security prison and destroy all ballots marked with his name on election day. This is not a change in the laws of our great nation, this is just an act that I am ordering to be performed in my official capacity as POTUS. God bless America.”
Solitary, for their protection.
No, because the people who like renewable energy are the same ones who are either:
A. Already voting for him
OR
B. Saying “It’s not enough!” and using that as a justification to usher fascism into power.
Some days I just try not to think about it.
Colonization of the 16th-18th centuries consisted of organized groups of people under the authority of a state arriving in a land without a central government, seizing territory for a new settlement, carrying on their own ways with an intent to do so indefinitely, and extend the reach of the monopoly of force of their mother state over the surrounds.
Immigration of the 19th-21st centuries consists of individuals or small groups outside of the context of a state-sanctioned expedition being accepted in by the authority of the native state already exercising a monopoly of force over the area, and in doing so, renouncing other loyalties either implicitly or explicitly, arriving in settlements already dominated by the majority ethnicity, assimilating, and participating in upholding the social contract between government and citizens.
You will note, I hope, that colonization necessarily excludes the prospect of the colonizers joining the settlements of the pre-existing majority ethnicity of the land, that colonizers set up a state or an extension of a state that is non-native, explicitly refuse the prospect of assimilating into the majority ethnicity of the area (though to be entirely fair, there were few places with a true ‘majority’ ethnicity that managed to be colonized - that’s another discussion entirely, though), and that colonizers do so in the form of organized groups seeking a collective gain for the group, not individuals and their families or small social circles seeking individual gain.
You’re really not getting it. Sending aid, even with strings attached as to what it’s used for, is not even close to the same as an internal decision by the national government of the country of origin to change their investment priorities.
I’m not really sure you understand the difference in the paradigm between 16th-18th century colonization and 19th-21st century immigration.
So, you’re really not talking about permanent immigration, you’re talking about training.
… no, that’s literally the opposite of what was said. The country of ORIGIN is driven to invest in their education system by this, not the country of DESTINATION.
Considering the extreme fluctuation of Bitcoin, it feels like that’s a payment that has to be processed and cashed out within an hour of the filing for the Federal government to not get screwed.
