My naive theory is that Biden plans to drop out as late as possible so that he can take a media beating from the Republicunts and protect the real DNC nominee.

Yeah, I can’t see that helping. You want someone to have as much coverage as possible.

When the DNC “upset” happens, there will be coverage. All the people with half a brain will be relieved and vote blue. Fox will fire up propaganda, but it can’t compare to years of “Biden bad”

Holy fuck I hope so. I’m voting for whoever is most likely to beat Trump but I really don’t want to vote for this ticket.

That would be funny as shit, but like basically everything Dark Brandon adjacent I fear it is more of a cope than reality.

Can he do that after arresting supreme court judges? After all, he’s got presidential immunity.

Yeah, he should drop out the day of the election and put forth Kamala, so no one knows who they’re voting for. /s
