    I would 100% support all 3 with no issue what so ever - they are all superb options. If I could just pick between Biden and those 3, I think I’d take Harris or Whitmer not to slight Buttigieg but I’d rather see a women in the role. I’m not sure who would be best, so let’s make the US proud and elect a woman. I’d vote for Newsom but he’d be my 5th choice on this list I’m not his biggest fan but he’s ok. That’s a great list btw I don’t know who else I’d consider.

    But how could we realistically get to them? Biden says he is running and how’s that going to change? That’s the issue. Biden is the candidate so he has my support and I do believe in him. If he steps aside, I’ll take what I can get that isn’t the felon.

      By making the larger conversation about “Biden needs to step aside”, rather than being half split between “we need to all align behind Biden”. There’s still 4 months, and the convention hasn’t happened.

      And man, how fucking sad would it be (even if it would be very American) for our first woman president to get there by an old white guy dying and she being the default replacement?

        Question: Could Biden get elected, then at some point decide he’s no longer fit for duty? Would that still make Harris president?

          Yes, if the president stops being president, for any reason, the VP becomes president. That’s what I’m saying would be incredibly sad.

            If he voluntarily stepped down, I don’t think it would be that sad. Kind of sad that Americans are not yet ready to vote a woman into presidency, if that’s what you mean, but otherwise it looks fine?
