JFC, the headline is saying that Pelosi needs to convince Biden to fuck off, not that she’s gonna be the nominee.

[-] Todd_cross@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

I originally thought it was saying people are asking her to step down also.

Hilarious thread!

[-] doc@fedia.io 20 points 2 months ago

In this thread: everyone misunderstanding the headline.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

This is why democracy is dying.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

Jesus Christ, please not her

[-] return2ozma@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

They're saying she's the one that can convince Biden to drop out. They're not saying she can run.

[-] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

Oh, ok, thank God.

[-] crawancon@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

she reminds me of the face lady from the future in 12 monkeys.

Really? One look and you think this? We really are doomed...

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Why not exhume Feinstein while you're at it, holy fuck.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

....

Not for her to be a candidate. But waiting to see if she also says Biden needs to step down.

[-] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Ah, you're correct. That's a misleading headline, but it's on me for commenting before reading the article.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 2 months ago

Or for her to quit as well. There has got to be younger blood anywhere.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I mean, she does.

But there's a zero percent chance thats what the article is talking about. Like maybe they're eyeing her to break the record for most gold medals in an Olympic year.

But why?

Guy's you're right, Biden is unlikable, hated by the right. Let's replace him with someone even less likable that the right and the left hate even more! Sure that is a winning strategy!

[-] thallamabond@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Nah, if we're going for a redo, I'm putting all my eggs in the Jimmy Carter basket!

(This is a joke about picking the elderly)

For real though, if they have to pick someone else, could they find someone born after the fifties?

[-] dugmeup@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Any 2 Governors from Swing states should be their criteria.

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

At this point, taking Carter back in his current condition would be an improvement
