    It’s probably too late at this point - the hope would be that an alternative candidate would gain legitimacy through the primary process… at this point if they swapped Biden out (without a really clear excuse like Biden having a stroke or other sudden health issues) it’d probably come across as the DNC kingmaking like they did with Hillary.

      …which is why they’re in this mess in the first place.

        Yup. The DNC is a fucking clown show and you’ll never hear me say otherwise. The DNC gave us Trump - they shat on the popular candidate and splintered the party while Hillary’s campaign actively tried to boost Trump because they were more afraid of Jeb.

        In retrospect, out of Jeb, Hillary and Trump I’d prefer yet-another-president-bush though, of course, Sanders would be my favorite time-line.

        Fuck the DNC so hard.

          We could have had President Sanders.

          I wrote him in over Hillary I was so mad. I’m sorry.

            I understand your anger - but if the DNC decides Biden is too old to run and puts Hillary on the ballot I’ll still vote for her. Unfortunately America is a two party state and Trump being elected will get a lot of good people killed. His push to kill Roe has already murdered a lot of innocent women. I think we’ve all been there, but the time to act is the primary.

              Because Hilary is a much better candidate…

              Yeah, I hate that they might actually try that.

          Honestly, when the GOP rolled out the clown car of candidates that year, I wanted Jeb to be the Republican nominee. And I grew up in Florida with him as Governor. I would have picked Hillary over Jeb though.

      Most states have a deadline of March 1st for candidates to collect the requirements to be on the ballot. I think that ship sailed a long time ago. Probably trace back to at least when dumb ass Dems voted in '16.
