Except the Dems convention hasn't happened yet and there's still plenty of time to hire Batman a great butler who's still capable...
Joker only has a chance if we run Alfred and he loses. We don't have to run Alfred.
So if you want to do everything you can to stop Joker, Alfred needs to step aside and endorse his replacement
Who is that going to be though? There's no one. Traditionally it might be the current VP, but everyone hates Kamala because she's shit. There is no one else, it's Biden or my dumb ass cat, at least my cat will get the 'cute and doesn't shit in the plants' vote. Unbelievably my cat would still lose to a rapist and felon.
My dumb cat would work. As long as they don't have a sex scandal and has some decent legislative record, they'd be fine.

I used to type a lot for these, but they constantly come up.
So at this point: AOC
That would be great, but she's too divisive to win.
That's what they said about Obama too...
But the first Black president got elected by flipping lots of red states even when his own party turned against him.
As already pointed out she's not eligible, or maybe is, idk. She would be 35 by inauguration.
My ticket would be her, Bernie, and Ron Wyden somewhere in the mix so the u.s. could get some decent privacy laws.
She literally is...
Like, it's not an opinion thing, she's literally old enough to be our next president...
Am I missing something?
| Born | October 13, 1989 (age 35)
be at least 35 years old
Right...

You have to be 35 to be president...
AOC will be 35 before the next president assumes office...
DDG
People have been bringing her up for years, but she is still not eligible. The president must be 35.
She was born in October.
You have to be 35 to assume office in January, not run for election.
She's not 35 is she?
I believe she will be in time to take office, which is the requirement.
There's currently no one because the DNC has forbidden all the ones. There's at least a dozen Democrats who could jump in tomorrow and have better chances than Biden by the week after next.
Not as much as they hate Biden now. Whether on purpose or not, they've been wise to mostly keep her in the shadows so everyone could forget how awful and fake she is and also to lessen the Biden stink on her.
I'd vote for your cat over Biden or the Mango Mussolini in a heartbeat. Not even joking.
Is she shit, or is she 1. She not he 2. Black 3. Indian 4. Being attacked by Republicans as a proxy attack on Biden because of his age 5. Not given popular missions?
She is shit because she was given the platform of VP with the sole job of developing name recognition as the next candidate, yet many of us have a worse opinion of her than we started with
I know VPs should generally be silently partners but this is the one time we needed one who succeeded at any initiative
Everyone I know who despises Kamala Harris is politically to the left of her
"Fweedom"
I don't think it really matters why. People don't like her.
Also, every Democrat, including Biden, seems to do the same against Trump based on polling. (I know polling is hard to trust, but we have no other way of measuring things at present.)

Why do people keep linking data for progress after last election?
Their founder openly said the point of his company was to come up with polls that make donors happy.
Then he got caught trying to use his polls to influence elections so his bets would win, and was trying to get employees involved in an illegal straw do or scheme.

Seriously, because no one will answer after posting that poll:
Why would anyone use them for a source still?
Is it just one of the few things that make Biden seem like a good choice?
Here's me not answering:
Because I had never read that Wikipedia link.
Nope. Biden is a bad choice, but he is likely to be the only choice regardless and if he is, he should be voted for because the other option is a dictatorship and a genocide of queer people.
Edit: Haha. They banned me on A Boring Dystopia for incivility after calling me a bully and deleting all my questions they refused to answer. Amazing.
See?
We opened a dialog and you realized the source your using is wildly unreliable and we shouldn't care what they say.
We got there thru civility and logic.
Everyone wins.
He doesn't have to be. Biden is the only choice the people he appointed to lead the DNC will let us have.
The party is a private organization and can do anything they want including disregarding an entire primary. The DNC literally argued this in court less than a decade ago, and the judge agreed.
You can say that the DNC won't replace Biden because they'd rather risk trump than lose control of the party.
But you can't just lie and say there's nothing that can be done.
I was really amused how you banned me from A Boring Dystopia for "incivility" after I asked you yes or no questions and you called me a bully. It's too bad it's a permanent ban or I'd ask you to undo it and do it again tomorrow. I could use all the laughs I can get right now.
You very silly person.
She was involved in the slave trade known as the "justice system" and proud of it. She's one of them.
Ah fuck, I thought I had escaped the Khive nonsense when I left Twitter and the DNC pushed her into the background 🤦
