I don't know why they think this helps them at all. If he's dead, there will be a massive wave of sympathy which will propel Harris into office.

If he's dead she'll already be president, the incumbent, and Trump will have to reprint anything that says 47.

Trump will have to reprint anything that says 47.

Honestly, Biden should step down for this reason alone. The whinging would be glorious!

The Rapist picking CouchFucker Vance as vp will propel her as much as Dead Brandon.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nowhere near as much. Not even close. Johnson only got elected because of sympathy about Kennedy. He got 61% of the popular vote. You don't get that high a popular vote just for taking over for Kennedy for a year unless people feel really bad about the loss of Kennedy.

I sorta forgot the /s

But it was more hyperbolic....perhaps "/h" ?

[–] SirDerpy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

It's definitely not elliptic. IMO it's more parabolic than hyperbolic. /p

I don't want a couch fucker as my veep

[–] androogee@midwest.social 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That would be least objectionable thing about him.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Shhh Don't let the secret out. He's having to deny couch fucking and it's great.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 3 months ago

But Bobo is all worked up about it, so it must be true.

Edit: It seems I may be wrong after all.

Original post: ~~Between this and Johnson saying Biden should resign as president, it makes me think they are trying to limit Harris to one term. If Biden were to die or resign then Harris would become president for a few months but that would still count as her first term, so she wouldn't be able to run for reelection in 2028 if she won this time. That's my theory anyway 🤷‍♀️~~

The 22nd amendment isn't hidden or difficult to find. You can just read it instead of making things up. Why do people do that?

”Under the amendment, someone who fills an unexpired presidential term lasting more than two years is also prohibited from being elected president more than once.”

There's way less than two years left in this term
