Not willingly no. Plus strategically the DNC want Kamala to be able to act as a foil. Everything bad that happens is Biden’s fault and she’ll fix it as President (she won’t actually fix it as president,) but everything good that happens is Kamala demonstrating her soft power and leadership.

Has he even been seen in public since the announcement?

He’s scheduled to give a public statement from the Oval Office tonight 8ET, however I’m not sure if it’ll be pre-recorded, or if it’ll be a live speech.

It’s always been this way since super delegates were created. It was laid bare in 2016 when Hillary literally bought the DNC to ensure her coronation, there is no reason the DNC ever needs to change (after all what they do isn’t illegal) and liberals will not only accept it, but fully embrace it.

Top Notch work as usual from the DNC. The non-profit organization made up of fail sons and daughters that controls ballot access for the oldest democracy in the world.

(who’s ready for the return of “student-loan forgiveness plan for Pell Grant recipients who start a business that operates for three years in disadvantaged communities”?)

Am I the only one you noticed that both her and Hillary said the exact thing about that? Who is asking for that? Who benefits from it? It’s such a bizarre specific cutout.

Meanwhile Biden’s vice president was chosen based on?

And of course as a subscriber to great man theory, there can be only one autocrat of any given country so there is no need for any other common identifier. Simply the double-plus ungood one should be sufficient for all time.

The hippies were the scapegoats, fossil fuel companies, the richest companies in the world from basically the 1880’s until the 1970’s, absolutely didn’t want nuclear power to succeed.

Pot calling the kettle black.

New Speak isn’t ever a solution.

I mean yea. They are on the same capitalist team, but the two camps are made up of the people riding coattails of their respective lord. Obama’s team, vs Clinton’s team. Harris was the counter-pick of the Clinton Team specifically for this situation.

When I said I was “ridin’ with Biden” I meant to the end.

Number 5 has been “adopted” by most of the mainstream Dems, but in the same way abortion is important to them. Here is Biden railing against “dark money.” https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4239009-exclusive-end-citizens-united-endorses-biden-in-2024/

I only bring it up because I’m pretty sure you could argue that Harris has already adopted, insufficiently, number 5. So you may want to be more concrete about what “adopting” those policies actually means.

Kamala is the Clintonite Establishment candidate though. Biden is tied to the Obama camp, though I assume Biden and Clinton are more cordial then Obama and Clinton, as much as Obama even cares about those past grudges anymore.

Wouldn’t it be cool if both our political parties had ambitious plans for the future?

100% And libs that supported him until today shouldn’t be allowed to vote anymore.

Same. When do you think that will happen and who will it be? I’m thinking 2032, but I can’t really think of any up-and-comings right now since the Dems self-immolated their bench making way for Hillary’s coronation.

Eh. It has good and bad authors. They aren’t strictly liberals, though they certainly have a liberal bias.

Yes it’s an Israeli line. (This was from like 20 years ago.)

The deadly Assault Rifle Fifteen trikes again. Thanks Jacobin.
