Handwringing over Biden's age has Democrats worried about a repeat of Ruth Bader Ginsberg's refusal to step down

Jump

  • I guess I’m less certain that is correct. Maybe after the house certifies the election it’s fine. But you know Republicans will stink about it, and SCOTUS may side with them,

  • Yeah, I’m not digging through anything for you. You can call me a liar. I don’t care. You don’t matter.

  • lol, Well she dropped out. How’d that go?

  • No, I believe I remember such statements coming from his campaign, and his campaign speaks for him.

  • Not how I remember it, but I think they were all reaching for straws to explain another failed attempt. So, I wouldn’t be surprised to find done arguing both sides of the coin. Bernie’s only hope was splitting the the rest of the vote. He simply never had a good coalition of Democrats, and his constant insults to the party didn’t help him any.

  • No, it may have just been supporters, but I remember the faux outrage that she would drop out. I know my lived experience. You all know he can’t win a fair primary, and he’d fair even worse in the general.

  • Yes, the actual election results where Bernie lost by more the second time than he did the first. He knew he couldn’t win a 1 on 1, he knows half the party hates him.

  • Typical lying BernieBro. I didn’t mention Super Tuesday, you did.

  • No, I don’t ever remember that. I remember Bernie calling “conspiracy” when Warren dropped out, because he knew he would never defeat Biden in a fair 1:1 fight. He needed Warren to split the vote. This is also the reason Harris dropped out. Harris and Biden were going to take the same votes.

    Biden and Harris are better politicians, because they actually know how to play.

  • My only real concern is if he dies after getting on the ballot, but before January 20th. We need him in a plastic bubble those months.

  • Like it or not, China leaves us little choice if they follow through and take Taiwan. I don’t think there’s a thing the US can or should do about that, bit we sure as hell can’t rely on a Chinese administered Taiwan to run the state-of-the-art semi-conducting development and manufacturing they do now.

  • But do you appreciate the threat? She cannot go on public flights. That leaves driving, which is just as easily tracked, and would likely cause major traffic disruption.

    She’s not just “kinda” famous, she’s Beatles famous in an era of very rapid communication. It would be like The Beatles on the rooftop of Apple Corps everyday, everywhere she went.

    And some of those people will definitely want to harm her.

  • Yep. I get Taylor Swift using a jet. It’s by far the safest thing for her, especially since there are definitively millions of well armed nut-jobs that positively hate her thanks to the right-wing not wanting young kids voting.

    This meme doesn’t help.

  • The thing is, chemists knew it. Nobody wanted to hear it. There are only three things worth recycling: Aluminum, glass, and electronics.
