Shit.The New York Times, Washington Post, and Democrat Party leadership have just handed the White House to Donald Trump on a silver platter. 💀💀💀

@cstross I'm optimistic. Harris can bring a log of excitement that was lacking and reinvigorate things. Plus, the GOP has built their entire campaign around Biden. Now they need a new plan.Shit's gonna be wild, though

@theory You're assuming Harris gets the Democratic nomination. That's not a foregone conclusion. The folks yammering for Biden to stand down this past month probably want a charismatic white southern man on top of the ticket. And will drag Harris down to make room. Which in turn will piss off a lot of the core Dem voters.

@lauren @cstross Do you really think there's enough time left before the election for the Democratic Party to both choose and unify behind a new candidate as well as campaign effectively for them?

@lauren The GOPtards will prevent a DEM replacement candidate on the ballot in some states, and the SCOTUS won't see anything wrong with that. Will there still be enough electoral college votes for the DEM candidate?@skjeggtroll @cstross
