Democratic consensus solidifies around Harris, should Biden step aside
CNN ^ | July 20, 2024 | By Edward-Isaac Dovere and Lauren Fox

Washington. CNN — No one quite knows what the process of picking a new nominee would be if Joe Biden did step aside – but many Democrats say that any process is likelier than ever to quickly end with Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee.

The informal conversations about how a fight to replace Biden at the top of the ticket would play out have been raging for weeks behind the scenes. But uncertainty about the process has been so unclear it’s given multiple Democrats – even those with serious concerns about Biden – pause about coming out against the president’s candidacy, given that what comes next could be even messier.

“F**k it, I’m coconut pilled. I just want this to stop,” said one well-known Democratic operative, referring to the online meme that has taken off from an old video of the vice president telling a story of her mother saying, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?”

It’s not that everyone has suddenly coalesced – but exhaustion is gelling into consensus.

This is the biggest no-win scenario for them in all ways. They’re totally screwed unlike anything outside of fiction.

“F**k it, I’m coconut pilled. I just want this to stop,”

And the article goes on to attribute the quote to a Democrat operative. Gee thanks. I’m not sure I could have figured that out from the language.

And they have no one to blame but themselves.......this is a perfect example of what happens when you employ affirmative action to fill a position instead of finding the best qualified person regardless of race or gender.

Election fraud aside, did picking Harris as VP get biden enough votes to win? Doubtful, so the whole decision to pick Harris turned out to be completely useless virtue signaling.

The democratics of america are amazing to watch. How could anyone go from betting on Biden to betting on Harris with a straight face?

Millions of Americans are relishing the agony of the Marxist/Democrat party this July-August 2024 and pray to God that their turmoil, so richly deserved, get’s worse and worse until the party of American Communists/Socialists ceases to exist.

Father Time is weighing heavily on BOTH the Democratic Party and Joe Biden. They have that fact in common. For stealing the election in 2020 and conducting a 10 year coup against Trump and the American people, they deserve it.

Then what happens when she debates Trump and she sounds worse than Biden? Will they get rid of her as well to “save democracy “?

Because of campaign finance laws there has never been another option. If Joe Goes it is Harris.

The Democrat Party is totally controlled by the media and the corporations. That party doesn’t listen nor do they care about their voters. All of their political moves are dependent on corporate money and dictated by the networks and major newspapers!

Biden isn’t going anywhere. This is a kabuki dance drama making it look like the Demented One is taking on the entire party to save the world for the entire world’s population. The Barry Sombrero gang is pretending to throw Bidenskyyyyyy out on his ass as the far left “media” is making Jo Jo look like He-Man. This is all a SNL skit to save Biden’s ass. Biden isn’t going anywhere and the O’Bama gang are in on this. Biden needs a shet wagon load of sympathy and portraying him as taking on the entire world ALONE is how they are going to get it.

She’s not being given the drugs Biden is/was. There’s time to electroshock-train her to use an earwig.

Harris support is a feint. Clinton or Big Mike could be the surprise “hero come to save the day”. It would drive the Dems and their media to ecstacy.

All they need is a narrative that is plausible-enough to keep the losing side from rioting when they “lose”.

But you’re right... hew “winning” would be hard to swallow.
