    You can’t run a corpse as a nominee. You’ll lose the election. If you think Harris should be president, advocate for that position.

      No. You can’t run a corpse as a nominee. That’s what the DNC is running one of the most, if not the most, productive presidents in modern times. And if this candidate, who also happens to be the oldest person ever elected president dies in office, there’s a vice president to take over.

      I genuinely don’t understand the call to replace the person who has already been nominated as the democratic candidate. The dude was old as shit in 2016 and shouldn’t have been nominated then. If anything, he’s convinced me he’s better at the job than I had imagined.

      Evidently, you can also nominate a rapist, twice impeached, insurrectionist, fascist, verifiable narcissistic who has no desire to help anyone but himself, and the other person who’d still hold the record for the oldest person ever elected president too; and for a growing number of Americans that’s better. Frankly, I honestly would vote for a literal corpse, given the option.
