Last night I was reading an article where they quoted his family, "Don't they know he's Irish?". And I was like shoot I guess he's not dropping out. 🤯

I experienced very little drama on reddit. I mostly went to subs like Lord of the Rings memes and Prequel memes and had a good time. Thankfully we have a Lord of the Rings community on lemmy.
The boomers divided us up this way so they could shit on us. Always remember that.
I can confirm this is inaccurate. I was in a class of 93s and 94s and we were told by our science camp councilor that we were not 90s kids, but 2000s kids. That was back in 2005. The 2000s hadn't even finished yet. So shrink that first range to at least 1981-1989 and extend that second range to at least 1990-1996.
what do people like about Donald Trump
The Mass Psychology of Trumpism
To summarize the first search result, the answer is christo-fascism. Trump has used Christianity to make Americans swallow fascism. A lot of them are also racists and misogynists.
Sure, they can do whatever they want. See how doing whatever they want plays with voters though. This would be taking the nuclear option for political parties. If the Democratic Party forced out Biden, angry and/or apathetic Americans would be talking about it for at least the next two election cycles, possibly longer. That's assuming we win of course and the Republican Party hasn't killed us all in death camps.
edit: This would be different than Bernie. Biden has won the primary based on the DNC's rules. edit: typo
Biden cannot be forced out based on the Democratic Party's rules as written. The Democratic Party changing the rules to dump Biden would be a historic first. It would be a bashed-slammed-bomb-cyclone-fire-tornado-buzz-word news story that would be the only headline for days, maybe weeks.
Donors are already pulling out. Fundraising is down. Obama signaled Biden should drop out. There will undoubtedly be more in the next two weeks. edit: typo
Biden cannot be forced out. It is Biden's decision. There is no harm in discussing this topic while we're waiting for the nomination. Biden has until the virtual convention that is scheduled for the start of August to make a decision. Either option, Biden staying in or dropping out of the race has risks. We need to rally around whoever the candidate ends up being.
I think it makes strategic sense for Harris to takeover and pick Whitmer for her VP. My opinion is a moot point, because I have no say in this. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like Biden is thinking about odds and strategy. He's thinking about his ego.
Grammar isn't a tool to constrain thought. Grammar is a tool to assist in writing.
Gender is a social construct. Gender is made up. People experience gender in different ways. Some people experience gender in ways that cannot be put into words.
If you can't tolerate people here using pronouns that challenge your world view, this instance is not for you. We are not interested in conforming to your personal view of gender. We do not tolerate intolerance.
Thankfully no one in these posts is claiming to be an ubermensch. Grammar is a tool to assist in writing, not a set of laws that need to be obeyed or officially amended. Dictionaries are best when they are descriptive and not prescriptive. Grammar guidelines are the same way. No one should have to wait for some English professor to say it's okay to exist, via grammatical correctness, to feel accepted.
Grail openly claims narcissistic personality disorder. And then acts like the word “narcissist” is a slur. This is not a gender issue, this is a them issue. They want to be special and immune and always correcting the little people about how they’re permitted to disagree.
Notice how you were able to narrow your focus in your argument to the actual people in question and not entire groups. Please continue to discuss this topic in this narrower way.
My comment was not in reference to this post. I saw similar discourse in this post's comment section and I wanted to address it. One of the comments has already been removed. I think the resources would be helpful for people who have questions.
Biden endorsed Kamala. =)
