I don't think anyone seriously is claiming Biden is without issue. Only that now is too late to call for replacing him.

They are basically the "blue no matter who" people. I'll probably be one this election too, considering the alternative.

The Internet says that the total cost for a degree from Johns Hopkins medical student per year is $64,665. In addition, various indirect costs like books, housing, healthcare, various fees, living expenses, and so on, bring that same estimate up to around $105,000 annually.

$1,000,000,000 invested in a stupid boring index fund at an estimated 4% return yields $40,000,000 in interest alone, or, using the above numbers, enough for 380(.95) students each year.

Based on this quick page from their own website: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/som/education-programs/md-program/our-students/class-statistics

Wherein they accept just 266 students, it could last for a very long time.

It sounds like you are advocating for primaries.

[–] evatronic@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Primaries are held by the states, before the Convention. It's.. kind of the whole point?

Replacing nationwide primaries with a private 400-person schmoozefest at the last minute is moving in the wrong direction.

So what do you do?

You advocate for replacing him at the convention.

With whom? How do you select this person?

So unilaterally picking someone else will make it.. better?

You think people got mad when Hillary Clinton was "selected" at the Democratic Convention after a nationwide series of primary elections and delegates all voted with her as the winner, can you imagine the shitstorm unilaterally picking some other candidate to replace Joe Biden without even the pretense of a primary process?

abysmal

Ain't no way Trump wrote that.

But whoever did is a liar.

You may have heard of Thomas Jefferson?

"...the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance."

Trump can't stay out of the spotlight long. He's wholly incapable of not being the center of attention.

In other news, did you see his name in those Epstein records? Turns out he allegedly raped a few kids, so there's something fun for Republicans to ~~condone~~ ignore.

Biden could trot out as a half-rotten corpse and I'd still vote for him over a serial liar and traitor to our nation.
