If Biden doesn't run in November, the Heritage Foundation and their allies will stage another Brooks Brothers Riot to keep the replacement Democrat candidate off the ballot in every state they can reach. They'll shop for Federalist Society judges and tie them up using procedural delays until after the election. The result will be a victory for Trump by default. If any cases *do* get to the supreme court, Clarence Thomas et al will rule in their own self-interest.
This is how you get a coup.
You donβt hear a lot of prominent women of color calling for Biden to step down. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson
2. Secretary of the Interior Deb Harland
3. Vice President Kamala Harris
4. More Black women appointed to federal circuit courts than all previous presidents combined
5. $16B in support for HBCUs
Think about who is calling for him to step down. Our job right now is to focus on reelecting Biden-Harris. If you care, thatβs your job, too.
Convo between me and my Nigerian American dad a few years ago:
π§πΏββοΈHey Pops! How much do you know about cryptocurrency?
π΄πΏ It sounds like scams. Is it scams?
π§πΏββοΈOK, so you know about crypto. Anyway, most countries have banned crypto mining, because it taxes energy grids. Texas' grid is already fragile, but your governor is inviting more crypto --
π΄πΏSo we should buy a generator? Like in Nigeria?
π§πΏββοΈOr solar. Because crypto --
π΄πΏ Why are you making the story so long? Crypto is scams. Buy generator.
This election is "nothing short of a referendum on our 248-year democracy, and a choice between a trustworthy public servant who upholds American values and a serial liar who wants to push the country into authoritarianism."

I'm reveling in my old poop-hood. Telling kids to stay off my lawn.
Has anyone watched the show "Geek Girl" on Netflix? I'm watching it now. The lead character is autistic. The circumstances aren't my life - I've never been a model - but the feelings, the struggles, the questions? Oh yeah, that's me.

I was raised as a Republican, and they weren't great then (Reagan) but they've gone completely insane now.

It should not even be this close, right? If the US were that serious, that mature, stable, law-abiding country as we like to claim ourselves to be, that racist, convicted felon would not be anywhere near a party nomination.

Hopefully, after Joe Biden's latest statement on the matter they'll retract their calls for him to step down and start working to help keep the GOP from accruing anymore power for their #Project2025 Putsch.
