If, and it's a big IF at this point (although I was leaning towards it being likely earlier) they are planning to switch out candidates, then they are cornholing themselves with frozen porcupines every day they wait.

Some people have already voted. Most for Joe, (Real Americans do their best to follow the constitution and vote on Nov 3, military and old/sick/infirm should all get absentee ballots) and every single day, more of those ballots get cast/sent in with Joe's name. Mass mail in ballots are already printed with Joe's name, regular ballots also already printed.

So as we tick, tick, tick closer to election day, more and more dem votes get wasted. And there are fewer and fewer opportunities to reprint and send new ballots out to those who haven't voted yet, leaving "write in" as the only option. Good fucking luck getting THAT done on a large scale.

I'm not saying it's impossible he'll be switched out at this point, but it's getting more and more unlikely by the day.

I think you're looking at it the wrong way.

Notice Biden and Kamala have both referred to it as a Kamala/Biden ticket?

It only works if the switch takes place after the election, or after the voting is significantly underway.

Otherwise, Bernie/Tulsi/Yang get swapped in.

They're already good. They're already set. Biden can fuck off at any moment, and Kamala will take over, because she's a strong female POC, and she'll pick a new VP and all the votes already cast are for Kamala.

Teleprompter failure will be the big tell. IMO.

Or it will be an MSDNC "journalist" with an off-script curve-ball question that they weren't supposed to ask. They'll tell Joe it was a communications snafu and there was a mix up with the pre-approved questions.

Behind the scenes, before the big teleprompter oopsie or the unexpected question, Joe's doctors will dial back his cocktail of make-Joe-lucid drugs.

I keep saying this: it doesn't matter what the ballot says because the American people do not vote for the person of the President.
