    It’s hilarious how he sounds more like Trump each and every day. I also notice they started painting him orange to make him look less like a corpse.

    Democracy is when god decides who will be president, who will be a billionaire, and who will die on the streets after medical bankruptcy

    Does the current president NEED to run after his term? If it’s not mandatory, then why the fuck dems thought it would be a good idea to put Biden in the forefront of the campaign. ANYONE could have gotten better chances especially with the lib mentality of “vote blue no matter who”. Are there really no other candidates available?

      They don’t need to run. They don’t need to win. They don’t care about anyone’s loss of rights. They’re the heralds of fascism just as much as the other party. It’s all identity politics. Trump winning means maximum fundraising. In that way, he’s actually a gift to the democratic party. If Biden lives long enough and wins, they will immediately cast the shadow of Trump over the next election as the next existential threat and money will flow again into the party coffers from pearl-clutching liberal donors. When Trump dies, they will have to prop up some “New Trump” since they aren’t going actually undermine capital to create better conditions. idpol is the only thing the democratic party ever does in US “elections”.

    Seeing how he looks everyday more like a zombie god may call him up soon.

    As a non-American I was wondering what happens if he dies let’s say 1 week before the vote. Kamala becomes president and also the candidate?

      From my understanding, yes she would be sworn in and function until the next candidate was elected.

      As she is the current VP candidate, I believe she would just get bumped up to the presidential candidate and they’d need to decide a new VP.

      Now what I am not quite sure of is what would happen if he died mid-election after people have already voted for him. Would they do another run of ballots? It ultimately wouldn’t matter much, but I would be curious what the mechanics would be.
