Grand Unified Election Thread 2: What is the difference between Biden and Dump?

[dxmnkd316]

That's the problem with the internet. Before, all of the idiots (let’s call them [SUP]235[/SUP]U) stayed relatively isolated. They were [SUP]235[/SUP]U to be sure, but there wasn’t enough of them to do any catastrophic damage, just enough to be useful to people who knew how to concentrate them.

Now, with the internet, they’ve been irreversibly concentrated and the graphite has been removed. The people who found them useful have now found they’re uncontrollable.

It’s the China Syndrome. But with idiots.

Edit: hell, now with Q, we’ve got a global arms race to see how stupid someone can be in order to use the glowing molten pool of stupidity. They’ll all be consumed.

How many vice presidents of failed one-term presidents ever go on to add to their political "career?" The only version of the United States where Pence resurrects himself politically is a fascist version, and then we have other things to worry about.

In the modern era? Probably none. Back when the loser of the POTUS election became the VP, Thomas Jefferson would fit the bill.

Yeah, one of the biggest problems is there aren't all that many "failed one-term presidents" (which I read to mean "lost their reelection bid"). Here is the list:

John Adams (Thomas Jefferson as VP - as you noted, a completely different situation that modern politics)
John Quincy Adams (John Calhoun as VP - might fit the bill, but again, not modern politics. He continued on as Jackson's VP before becoming a Senator and then Sec. of State)
Martin Van Buren (Richard Johnson as VP - never amounted to anything after being VP)
Franklin Pierce (William King as VP - died during Pierce's term)
Andrew Johnson (no VP)
Chester Arthur (no VP)
Grover Cleveland (1st term) (Thomas Hendricks as VP - died during Cleveland's first term)
Benjamin Harrison (Levi Morton as VP - was governor of New York after serving as VP, but never anything higher)
William Taft (James Sherman as VP - died during Taft's term)
Herbert Hoover (Charles Curtis as VP - retired from politics after serving as VP)
Gerald Ford (Nelson Rockefeller as VP - dropped from ticket in reelection bid)
Jimmy Carter (Walter Mondale as VP - won Democratic Nomination for President in 1984, but lost election)
George H.W. Bush (Dan Quayle - ran for Republican Nomination for President in 2000, but never came close)

So the three best examples are Thomas Jefferson (albeit under extremely different circumstances), John Calhoun (again very different circumstances), and Walter Mondale.

If you don't think he is running in 2024 (and wont make it pretty far in the Primaries) I have a oceanfront property in Wisconsin to sell you...cheap.

He won't win the nom though because the Qtards will want someone like Cruz.

I don't think he'll run.

 

[Handyman]

I don't think he'll run.

I will take that bet. If he wasn't going to run he wouldn't kiss Trump's butt as much as he does even now. If he didn't plan to run he would have just admitted they lost and come out against all this crap. (especially after the EC votes were made) His silence and his repeated use of the same language the Trumpers use is enough to show he plans to run.

 

[French Rage]

He should probably tip better if he wants to run: https://twitter.com/skchheda/status/1344085889987690496

 

[Handyman]

Nah GOPers think tipping is socialism...

(how sad is it that I just made that up and yet I had to think if that is actually something they believe after I typed it)

edit: from the replies...

So yeah they don't give a crap what tipped employees think.

I really, really, really hope the Dems don’t run Harris in four years. If they do we wind up with someone like Hawley as president. It’s completely horrible and an awful reflection on us as a country but that’s where we are right now.

Chill out dude. That woman scares a lot of men. Why don’t we see what she does the next few years before we throw her in with aoc as a sure fire way to kill America

Pence doesn't have the charisma, or whatever you want to call it, to rise to power in a fascist state. Can't generate the required fervor among his followers.

He'll, he doesn't have the charisma to make it through the primaries.

Pence would make an excellent sock puppet for a plute fascist regime in theological clothing: the baddies in V for Vendetta. He's a moron, a coward, and he'll say whatever they want while mumbling Bible verse.

I know, rite?! I hope they don't run that black guy with the Muzzie name. Whatsisname, Obama?

This is the exact Center-Left (sorry, Handy) self-censorship that gives up the battle before it even starts. I really, really, really hope the Dems stop listening to these voices. They are defeatist and they are the largest obstacle to change in this country, since reformers have to fight through this ocean of snot before they even get to challenge the Nazis.

No, a white comfortably middle class centrist guy from flyover has spoken and He Must Be The Voice Of The Dems. Quick, cut to a video of farm fresh eggs before Middle America calls the wahmbulance since they're only overrepresented 50:1 in the EC!

Fig. 1 Ahhhh............ that's better (those are eggs, right?)

I’m so effing sick of women being the unacceptable boogeyman for these white men.

Drew is neither center-left or from flyover country.

Drew is not Center-Left ;^)

As much as I like Harris I hope she moves farther Left if she runs. They already label her a Socialist so she might as well lean in.

If the Dems have a better candidate though that is a very good sign for the future. Not as a knock on her, but because that means the bench is deep.
