      You don’t understand… Only Republican VPs can ignore voters when calling elections. If a Democrat tried to pull that shit it’s obvious treason.

        Same reason you can’t confirm a Supreme Court Justice during an election year… when a Democrat is president.

      Agreed to me it also seems just dumb for pence. By not commiting treason he’s made an enemy of trump, and therefore trump supporters for life. He should really just court the anti-trump republicans rather than continuing to try and win back the unrecoverable trump base.

        Pence is a religious zealot. Never Trumpers are usually neocons that genuinely believe the bullshit they are peddling, not stereotypically dogwhistling racists and zealots, so he has nothing to offer them and, quite frankly, is probably too emotionally tied to being liked by his fellow Evangelicals to admit his one moment of morality was unforgivable to them.

      Harris should absolutely threaten to do this if they don’t shut the fuck up and stop trying to overthrow the country. Go full Dark Harris. Fuck it. The repugs already believe anyone NOT them is a Demon anyways.

        Harris has been kind of an empty suit so far so this would really help her image too.

          Her purpose must be to prevent Biden assassination since killing him would make a Black Female (that’s DOUBLE WOKE 😱) president.

          Otherwise idk what she do.

      No, no, letting the VP pick any successor makes it too easy for them to game the system! We should come up with a completely objective, impartial method.

      The oldest child of the current President becomes the next President.
