Good question, and I don't know. Right now the frontrunner appears to be Governor Gavin Goodhair Newsome of California, who I don't see winning, either.
Of course, that could change. Democrats are fickle to their own politicians.
We've known for a long time (well, many of us have known) that Joey wasn't competent for, well, anything. The worst during the election cycle was when Joey introduced his granddaughter as his dead son the day he was elected ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaf9KZhMGDM ).
So someone's been running the country, and it wasn't just Blinken, Nuland and Austin.
What now? Doesn't matter - it'll just be a corporate choice, not a voter choice. Again.
"What now? Doesn't matter - it'll just be a corporate choice, not a voter choice. Again."
Absolutely, rather than wasting time, money, energy and hope on another wash-rinse-repeat election, far better to put it into organizing labor unions, targeted boycotts, general strikes, wildcat strikes, etc. Unfortunately, in my area all the "lefties" will line up to drag Biden across the finish line.
It needs both. Remember the current President's handlers had him break the rail strike, and I expect the Democratic party to remain pro-corporation for the foreseeable future.
Why am I required to talk about Trump when I'm only talking about Biden? But all right, since you ask, I will.
Trump is clearly the lesser victim of dementia. At least he can still speak in coherent sentences most of the time, which is more than I can say about Biden.
Because if cognition is a problem it should be mentioned that both candidates have problems with it. Too many reporters are focusing on Biden’s issues and ignoring trumps equally disturbing cognitive impairment.
That is your opinion. I think the reverse is the case, so we'll have to agree to disagree on this rather minor point. Both men make terrible presidents.
The larger problem that I see with the last three years that 'Disaster Joe's' Administration has revealed is that he is NOT an anomaly.....There are so many like him in both parties, waiting in the wings to fill his shoes.
This is a party based on loyalty and tenure. Nobody can push aside the sitting president no matter the obvious short term practical advantages such a move would provide.
It’s like the mafia. You can’t just push the old guy out the door because the whole enterprise is built on loyalty within the top leadership. If one person can be cut loose then nobody is safe.
They are stuck. I don’t know what the actuarial odds are of Biden still being presentable as a sentient creature ten months from now, or whether it is better if he falls and can’t get up now, or this summer, or two weeks before Election Day. Probably to even discuss the backup plan would be an alarming sign of disloyalty to This Thing of Theirs.
This is a laughable farce! I am the same age as Biden and in a lot better shape. I wouldn't think of taking full time work as I am busy enjoying my retirement. Even so my doctor has told me that at my age anything can happen at any time.
Given his age I am amazed he hasn't resigned voluntarily as the responsible thing to do. The fact that he hasn't may be another symptom of his senility.
Under Article 25 of the constitution he can be removed from office. This article was passed for this very eventuality.
As it is the U S presidency is fundamentally as waste of time. The Empire is running the show and the role of president is nominal .
Lol. If they used the 25th, we'd get Giggles Harris. She doesn't need dementia to be both idiotic and venal. I think that's why Biden hasn't stepped down yet.
I still don't get why Obama selected her, unless he really believed that ID politics nonsense at the time. Maybe he did, I don't know. He's not the brightest president we've ever had, either, but his predecessor and successors were so dumb he looks pretty smart in comparison.
In politics I am afraid political correctness and salability win out over talent and competence too often. We have a dumb ass prime minister who should never have the keys to the kingdom but the people and party were dumb enough to vote for him.
Several times I have seen the best choice passed over. Voters can be as dumb as the candidates they vote for.
We'll see, but NOBODY is even mentioning VP Giggles anymore. They've tried to make her look good, but she just can't help but louse up every interview and photo op.
I guess my point is that Kamala just isn't salable, and neither is Biden.
Man, I do not believe either party gives a hoot how the electorate feels about the corporate pick for president. Harris occupies the VP slot because she has for decades proven that she will do absolutely anything she is told to do by her owners and operators. People like that are usually bottom-of-the-barrel types, O’Bomber being the most recent exception.
Being suave and plausible, Prez Obummer was able to maintain an on camera persona of black liberal while performing exactly as if he were a corporate-owned CIA thug. Jumped up small time hustlers like Biden and Harris aren’t fooling anyone who does not insist on being fooled. In between doses of Adderol and amphetamines, Biden is a gabbling bedwetter, and he certainly did not have the capacity to run a real campaign in 2020. Hence the sudden switch from blasè to medical emergency in March that year, notice?
Even the Dimmercranks and Repugnacogs will not be able to playact as if Harris won 20% of a general election vote, so they’ve got to keep Biden twitching for another ten months. That’s why the media and the Dims are pimping Trump so hard again: if he’s not the Pug candidate, it’s going to be really tough to pretend Joe won come Nov 6th. Yes, everything they are doing “against” Trump is building support for him. By design. But all their eggs are not in one basket.
The authoritarian diktats passed in re domestic terrorism, the censorship, the lockdowns, and the mandates have been pursued as contingency planning-- just in case it becomes necessary to drop the pretense of democratic elections a cycle or two early.
The plan was (I speculate) to introduce a suave and plausible Repugnacog candidate in 2020, after four years of The Hated One, but she proved capable of losing to an orange ass clown, so here we are, waiting for Godawful. I think the monoparty still intends to groom a well-mannered and believable militarist Christian fascist to boomerang off the reaction to the current economic and foreign policy disaster cascade. None of the current crop are him, plainly. He’ll be a horse of a new degree of darkness, and very appealing to the flag-wrapped maudlin patriotism of the Trump set.
I wish Biden would stop sending money and weapons to Israel -- that would do a lot to revive the popularity of the Democrats, I think.
If they really wanted to get re-elected, they could socialize medicare, and give all citizens a guaranteed annual income. Who wouldn't vote for those things?
Unfortunately, my 36 y.o. nephew is listening to the same stuff as his mom is, and she's what I could politely be called a TDS Democrat who was died in the wool years ago when in Florida and active with that party. They boh know nothing, but nephew wants uncle Gavin. He can't get into much of the "why", but most here probably figured that part out already. I wouldn't be surprised to see Michelle "the man" Obama. That way, BO can grow the gardens of First Lady!
Sure, Newsome's been trotted out and praised by the Democrat Cult's high priests, so your nephew just feels good about him and that's the extent of the thinking involved.
Michelle would probably be a better choice for them than Governor Goodhair of CA, but so far all indications are she is just not interested. A rational decision on her part if true.
Hilary ain't gonna fly. Didn't work vs. Trump the first time, she is even less presentable now. Trump is clearly not acceptable for a 2nd round either.
There is nobody on the horizon acceptable to either national party owners I'd back. RFK Jr. is being effectively obscured from view, plus there are those connected with the murderers of his father and uncle who have the means to "go for 3" rather than finally be dragged into the light of day.
Who are they going to try to shove in at the convention? Newsome?
That would be interesting given Newsome's ex-wife is Donald Jr.'s wife. Imagine the dirt that will come out.
The guy does have perfect hair, which meets 50% of the DNC qualifications for candidates.
Good question, and I don't know. Right now the frontrunner appears to be Governor Gavin Goodhair Newsome of California, who I don't see winning, either.

Moochelle.

Indeed. Once you have sold your soul and freedom, you don't get 'em back.
I despise Biden but he’s not the only one with cognitive issues. If you are going to mention Biden’s at least mention trump’s too
Why am I required to talk about Trump when I'm only talking about Biden? But all right, since you ask, I will.
Trump is clearly the lesser victim of dementia. At least he can still speak in coherent sentences most of the time, which is more than I can say about Biden.
Because if cognition is a problem it should be mentioned that both candidates have problems with it. Too many reporters are focusing on Biden’s issues and ignoring trumps equally disturbing cognitive impairment.
If you think Biden’s issues are more significant than trump’s, you haven’t been listening to enough of trump’s speeches.
That is your opinion. I think the reverse is the case, so we'll have to agree to disagree on this rather minor point. Both men make terrible presidents.

Yes, but we don't vote for real politicians anymore. The Great Reset has been empowered
and so conformity to all levels is required of the "masses". It is not fascism, because even
the government and its institutions are just servants to the Davos and Bilderberg groups.
It is total corporatism including the City of London and Wallstreet banks. Welcome to a
mix of "Brave new world" and "1984".
I'll probably vote by writing in JFK, which won't count; but votes don't matter anymore
anyway.
This is a party based on loyalty and tenure. Nobody can push aside the sitting president no matter the obvious short term practical advantages such a move would provide.

Lesser right wing psychopaths warning greater right wing psychopaths while both pose as liberals.
To answer your "quisito" Hillary Clinton will be the new candidate
@Wilma Inchauste
Hilary ain't gonna fly. Didn't work vs. Trump the first time, she is even less presentable now. Trump is clearly not acceptable for a 2nd round either.
There is nobody on the horizon acceptable to either national party owners I'd back. RFK Jr. is being effectively obscured from view, plus there are those connected with the murderers of his father and uncle who have the means to "go for 3" rather than finally be dragged into the light of day.
I am obviously not able to tell a joke. The "new candidate" Hillary Clinton was meant as a joke.
You are right about the Democratic party candidates.
Yeah, I need to add (#sarcasm) tag to things like "Hilary will be the new candidate" or people might BELIEVE me.
How true!
