This talk of a blitz primary idea just because people think Harris can’t win / don’t want her to run for “reasons” so we can have a messy primary 4 months before the elections

Gotta get someone white to run and they’ll have Michelle Obama and Oprah on hand to provide cover.

Would any of the delegates be bound to Harris as president?

No but they probably would at that point.  She'd be the sitting president.

Their idea goes something like this, according to a memo shared with Semafor that has been circulated to Democratic donors and bundlers as well as officials within the Biden campaign and administration:

 

  • Biden would step down as the Democratic nominee in mid-July, and announce the new system, with backing from Vice President Kamala Harris.
  • Potential candidates would have a few days to throw their respective hats in the ring. The Democratic Party then would begin a primary sprint in which the six candidates who receive the most votes from delegates pledge to run positive-only campaigns in the month leading up to the convention.
  • The “blitz primary” would involve weekly forums with each candidate moderated by cultural icons (Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Taylor Swift are among the names floated in the memo) in order to engage voters.
  • The nominee would ultimately be chosen by the delegates using ranked choice voting before the start of the Chicago convention on Aug. 19.
  • It would be announced with plenty of fanfare on the third day of the gathering. The memo imagines the nominee unveiled on stage with Biden, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.

This feels like a marketing scam

The fact that Harris as sitting VP isn't the unanimous unofficial choice says a lot.  She's a known quantity at this point and she is seemingly worried about this going to a vote.

A blitz primary or whatever the fuck is maybe the dumbest of all the ideas. Absolute definition of shooting yourself in the dick

Agree. If you and I agree on something it must be a bad idea.

Hoo boy. The shit storm that would stir up would be entertaining but extremely unhelpful in November.

Disagree. The American voting public lives for drama.

I'm sure the Harris people are super on-board with that.

Of course they wouldn't be because she'd lose that to Whitmer but how can she be against actual voting?

 Are yall familiar with the wrestling term “worked shoot?”

Joe should get together with the big donors, party leaders, Schumer and Pelosi and agree to resign the presidency if everyone agrees to get 100% behind Harris as the 2024 nominee. Let them pick the running mate but Harris as sitting president at the top of the ticket has the best shot at winning. Fuck a VP replacement we’ve gone without before

This should be interpreted by the White House as a warning shot from the House Democratic caucus. 

 

Hard to believe this many prominent Dems would be talking like this unless at least 1 of 3 things is true:

1. There’s already a solid agreement/plan in place for Biden to drop out.

2. Dem leadership has seen such troubling signs from Biden (either polling poorly or signs of decline beyond what we’ve seen publicly) that they don’t care if turning on Biden (because he is refusing to get in line) costs them the election.  They’re willing to risk another Trump presidency rather than ride with Biden.

3. The Dems are utterly fucking stupid and needlessly tanking the election.

Tay tay appears to turn 35 in December- before the inauguration but after the election.  What’s her eligibility status?

Sounds like it's time for an actual forged birth certificate.

There ain’t gonna be a convention floor fight. No chance. 

There should be. The Dems are complicit in a Trump victory, otherwise.

I don’t think there’s any way that Biden resigns the presidency. In terms of his legacy, he’d want to serve out a full term. And I don’t see any way that Harris would benefit from the artificial incumbency of a few months with the title of President vs. being Joe’s endorsed successor. Biden can still perform his presidential duties while also campaigning for her.

If Harris were to be elevated to president before the term ended then she would absolutely have to pick a VP. Otherwise, as someone pointed out earlier, one well-placed bullet would make Mike Johnson the president. That threat shouldn’t be taken lightly.

But Joe’s not resigning the presidency. No way no how.

Whatever they do I love the idea of incorporating Taylor Swift into it. That Idiocracy move will deliver hordes of young female voters, voting all Democrat.

You will get Joe B and you will vote for him unless you want a Supreme Court full of jagoffs and fascism you stupid fucks. Look around, we are already and have always been operating with a Biden leadership team.
