Here’s how the process to replace Biden works if he withdraws
The Hill ^ | 7/06/24 | Caroline Vakil, Yash Roy

Amid rising pressure for President Biden to withdraw from the race, questions are looming over the mechanics of getting another Democrat on the ballot ahead of November.

Democrats do have a path forward: The filing deadline for the party to get their presidential candidate on the ballot in most states hasn’t been met yet, and there are avenues within the party over how to choose a new candidate if need be.

Much of the chatter over Biden’s fate for now is speculation, as the president and his campaign maintain he is committed to running for another term. Still, some Democrats have expressed uncertainty over his electoral chances against Trump in November, while others have called for him to drop out immediately, injecting uncertainty into an already chaotic election cycle.

Here’s what to know about the rules governing a new Democratic presidential pick:

How does the process work?

Typically, the Democratic presidential candidate is officially selected at the Democratic National Convention, but this year’s presidential nominating process is set to look a little different.

Democrats are holding a virtual roll call in response to earlier concerns that the president wouldn’t be able to get his name on the November ballot in Ohio ahead of the state’s filing deadline. In Ohio, Democrats initially needed to submit the name of their candidate to the state 90 days before the election, which is Aug. 7 this year. That’s earlier than when the DNC begins, which kicks off Aug. 19.

It wasn’t the first time this year that Democrats had run into a filing deadline problem. In Alabama, the issue was settled quickly after the state agreed to change its filing deadline, while Washington state accepted a provisional certification.

You are right that there are a lot of simply evil people out there. Everyone of those people you see on MSNBC and CNN are evil. Even those on NPR and PBS are evil. And the New York Times and Washington Post are evil too. They are very very evil. The list is very long, and I can’t go to every one of them. But I have argued with lots of people who can’t believe their doctor is dumb or evil. And there professor is dumb or evil. They can’t believe George Will is dumb or evil. So many of the democrats have been taking the word of “experts” and men in the “know”. And its hard for them to realize it is all a lie. It has been a lie for a very long time. When did it become a lie? Hard to say. When did they become evil? Hard to say. But you are right, Fauci is one example of a single person who caused millions to die. How can you get more evil than that. Oh, wait he gave an untested vaccine to millions of children who had no need of it. I guess you can get more evil. It was hard for me to believe they could be this evil. But I know many people who are steadfastly unwilling to believe that such evil could be so common among our media and our government. I hate to bring up the monsters in our schools.

As usual, our POLITICIANS will tell us which ‘candidates’ we are allowed to “vote” for…

We are no longer any sort of “Representative Republic”.

Sociopaths and psychopaths exist. Most people have difficulty accepting this reality. It is too much for them.

One can listen to the MSM at their own peril, and FOX is one of them. And Hussein Soetoro was too young. ;-)

Another problem is that many Demonicrats are in Stage 5 TDS. They are incapable of making rational decisions on their presidential vote. These TDS-deranged Demonicrats would vote for Hitler, if he were on the Democratic ticket, rather than vote for Donald Trump.

From the article: How does the process work?
———————-

Easy enough to answer.

Galatians 6:7
“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1
“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—“

Job 34:26
“He strikes them like the wicked
In a public place.

Amen. Put all your Trust in the Lord. Justice is served in his timing not ours, for all the world to see. Wicked, deceitful governments and leaders take note. Christians, Rest Easy. Their “ time” is at hand.

Cue the calls from Hillary for EC voters in 2024 to do what in 2016 she called “faithless electors”.

I think the drop boxes should be dealt with in a similar fashion to what is being done with surveillance cameras in the UK.

“Sociopaths and psychopaths exist. Most people have difficulty accepting this reality. It is too much for them.”

Too many Americans grow up as sheltered rich kids. Who have not encountered people who live to screw you and others. People who get great enjoyment doing this.

There are many conscious and subconscious nihilists & sociopaths in the Federal government. Who just want to “burn it all down”. All, meaning what we have in the USA today. They want chaos such as open borders and harmful C19 vaxxxes.

Is Kamala getting Arkancided on your list of predicted steps to their process? (By a deranged MAGA supporter for maximum effect?)

The Democrats are going to dump Biden at the very last second and skip over Kamala gleefully and whoever they select won’t have any vetting so the puppeteer will just March in with his same team in place.
