Below article is based off of the above cartoon. Democrats will likely replace Biden & Harris with someone else - i.e., Hillary Clinton, Gretchen Whitmer, (((Josh Shapiro))), etc.

Democrats could replace Kamala Harris with Hillary Clinton, columnist argues: 'Why not?'​

Another NY Times columnist suggested in February that Biden drop out of the race

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton could replace Vice President Kamala Harris as President Biden's running mate, a Washington Post columnist argued Friday.

As polling for Biden looks troublesome in advance of the November election, some political analysts, journalists and columnists have warned that the campaign needs to be aggressive to defeat former President Trump.

"No one has mentioned her as a possible running mate for Biden as far as I know, but why not replace Harris with Clinton?" Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker wrote Friday.

"At 76, she might want no part of it, but it’s hard to retire when you feel your job isn’t done," Parker wrote, arguing that Clinton is one of the few leaders in the Democratic Party who has enough respect and "relative centrism" to be a serious contender to replace Harris.

"If Biden needs to step down, even those who didn’t vote for Clinton would have confidence in her ability to keep the country on track," Parker wrote.

The columnist wrote that Harris is a "significant obstacle" to Biden's victory in November, especially as Harris continues to suffer from poor polling that has only been worsened by her "lackluster performance" in office.

"More independents and disenchanted Republicans might swing for Biden if it weren’t for the prospect of a President Harris — not because of her sex, race or any other demographic category, but because of her competency, or lack thereof," Parker wrote.

Parker wrote that possible replacements for Harris other than Clinton would include Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth.

"The question now is, how risky would it be for Democrats to replace her?" Parker asked. "Some worry that a change would jeopardize Black votes."

"It was never clear, however, that Harris was a draw for Black American voters, even if some Black women celebrated her rise," the columnist wrote.

Parker is not the only columnist to suggest a slate of candidates to replace either Biden or Harris before the election.

New York Times columnist Ross Douthat suggested in February that Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer or Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro could vie for the Democratic nomination if Biden dropped out.

There has been no indication, however, that Biden or Harris will be replaced on the ticket. Biden has already clinched the Democratic nomination after defeating minimal opposition in the primaries.

The fix is in.


Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.

Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver’s licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.

There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.

But millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration takes place.

Republicans have no way to stop this. Looks like Biden will get 100+ million votes this time around.

Meanwhile, "conservatives" are attacking Trump because he won't commit to zero immigration, or a total abortion ban, lol. Conservatives are pathetic purity signalers and deserve to lose in this clown world.
 
The GOP should have been all-in pushing for election/ballot reform laws in every state legislature across the country in the wake of the stolen 2020 election, and Trump himself should have been leading the charge. This, along with immigration, is literally all the GOP should have been focused on for the past four years. The fact that this did not happen tells you everything you need to know about how serious the GOP is about actually accomplishing anything for its voters: they can't even be arsed to ensure that the elections aren't blatantly stolen from them, much less win and ruthlessly pursue an agenda.

Trump did everything he could to insist the election was stolen. 75% of the R party leadership, from Congress to Governors, didn't believe him.

There was literally nothing more Trump could have done beyond using his bully pulpit for a call to action. You can scream at someone till you're blue in the face but if they don't act then there's nothing more you can do.

It looks like this will be the death of the Republican party. One more massively rigged election and there's no coming back.

Which is exactly what he didn't do but should have (and this is not something that requires the benefit of hindsight bias to see, it was obvious once Biden was inaugurated that this was the only reasonable path forward). Yes, he said the election was stolen, but he didn't propose any type of reform to prevent it from happening again. He should have been appealing directly to Republican voters to pressure their state legislatures to pass laws strictly limiting all the shenanigans we saw in 2020. The fact that he did not do this is both puzzling and troubling, because doing so was easily within his grasp. The public outrage was there, all that was needed was for Trump to channel it in the direction of the state legislatures. But either he didn't realize this obvious fact or simply didn't care.

No proposal of Trump to stop the steal from happening again would have been taken seriously if 75% of the Republican leadership did not believe it was stolen in the first place.

Ron DeSantis, Gregg Abbot, Brain Kemp, Mitch McConnel, Lindsay Graham, Tim Scott, etc. etc. The list goes and on of Republican leaders who claim our elections are secure.

Any proposal made by Trump would have thus been shot down by other "leaders" within the party. Thus, according to you, Trump would have needed to fight his own party endlessly, dragging them kicking and screaming, to fix the election system. What you were asking for was impossible.

The fact of the matter is the Republican party is worthless, aside from big players like Trump, and they deserve to die.

Imagine if there was a sports team where the star player almost scores a goal, and the rest of his team just sits around doing nothing. Then, everyone blames the star player for not trying harder instead of looking at the rest of the worthless team. That pretty much sums up the Republican Party and Trump.

All these scum care about it keeping the gravy and power train moving, calling yourself "republican" means nothing anymore and the sooner people realize that the better. I can't tell you how many older people I encounter who still think that saying they are "republican" means they are something special for it, as if it somehow makes them tough and cool like they are fighting the bad guys. They are no different from these "leaders", all they do is complain and shake their fists at clouds.

The GOP is completely sold out to the uniparty. They have no desire whatsoever to prevent election fraud. They want this.

They claim this publicly but I'd bet that privately they sing a different tune. A thief doesn't like to call the cops on another thief because it brings attention to the scenes of both their crimes. Similarly, corrupt politicians (which they all are) don't like to go too hard on the corruption/rigged election angle because at some point, they all have taken dark money and had to "bend the rules" to get elected.

Absolutely, in the end they are all in the same boat and they go down together. Behind the scenes I guarantee these guys are all buddy buddy with the unspoken understanding that it's all for show. Like pro prostitute athletes on two crappy teams just earning their paychecks swapping jerseys and pleasantries after the meaningless game...
