Possibly the funniest outcome of this shitshow.
Second funniest. Funniest outcome to me is still Biden dying mid campaign leading to Trumps reelection and Kamala being a lame duck for like a month.
....Then Trump dies 2 weeks before taking office and whoever his running mate is becomes president.
I don't think this is really that great of an "electoralism is fuck" argument, since Harris is literally on the ballot.
She’s on it cause Biden put her there, not because anyone voted for her. She didn’t win a single delegate.
she dropped out before several weeks before iowa and was polling fourth in her home state of california if I recall correctly
Yeah she clearly had no chance at becoming president because no one wanted her to win, and yet thanks to democracy she will probably get to hold that position anyway.
Yeah. It's not a case like how Truss and Sunak became British prime ministers.
Plus ~~The Simpsons~~ Gerald Ford already did it
All the VPs who later became presidents were the worst presidents.
Also the Supreme Court, whom you also didn't/don't/can't vote for, can rule on whatever they want and all you can (legally) do is watch.
Technically we're supposed to be voting for the president/VP combo. But since they don't necessary have nearly as much power until the president eats it, I think most just vote president as long as the vp pick isn't that much worse than the other one.
Biden just needs to start World War III and win the election and he'll get the FDR achievement.
