A pair of well-connected Democrats have issued a bombshell memo detailing their wild plan to replace President Joe Biden on their 2024 ticket.
It would require Biden to step down as the head of the ticket by mid-July to pave the way for other Democrats to throw their hats in the ring for a 'blitz primary' that would feature celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Oprah, according to Semafor.
The six candidates with the most votes from delegates would also have to vow to run a positive-only campaign.The plan is the brainchild of Rosa Brooks, a Georgetown law professor who served in both the Obama and Clinton administrations

So the Democrats thrust Joe Biden onto us in 2020 and now they are scrambling to figure out what to do with the mess they created. It is tiresome that celebrities think they have the say-so in politics.

Let them use ranked choice voting. I predict the Dems will wind up with Travis Kelce. Whew! That'll make it a tougher choice for me.

At this point the desperate democrats are capable of doing anything to help them retain power. That said, it's a given that they will cheat and commit voter fraud on a level that will make the 2020 election look mild in comparison.

For a political party that cries about the evil rich screwing the poor old working class people, this plan seems awfully hypocritical. Let's have a bunch of billionaire donors dictate that Joe must leave, or else no donation. Then, the billionaires get to be in charge of the new candidate selection, negating all of the primary votes cast for Biden.

This article may have changed since I read it early this morning, but I think the Ivory Tower professor is suggesting that Oprah, Michelle, and Taylor interview or provide criteria for selecting a replacement candidate, not that they would BE the candidate. That makes as much sense as letting Caroline Kennedy make the selection, which is how we got Biden in the first place. Obama let her choose the VP. I am not sure exactly who chose Kamala for VP (sure wasn't Nurse Jill), but I think James Clyburn may have been the person responsible for that. Clyburn may be kept out of the process based on his role in forcing Biden on the Dems. He is getting old and may be senile himself.

The major obstacle to this pipe dream, as the article stated, is that Biden has no intentions of cooperating. This ‘honorable man’ who had an ‘extraordinary career’ spent 40 years at the government trough lining his own pockets and has very little legislation to show for it. Another pack of lies promoted to help give him a soft landing. Honor is a concept that the Bidens know little of.

It would be nice if all the people who voted for Biden in the primaries, seeing the DNC throw the results in the trash, decide to not bother to vote in November. After all, the DNC will have destroyed democracy in the primaries if they throw the will of voters in the trash if they force Biden out.

Only the left, in a hail mary bid to "SAVE DEMOCRACY(tm)" would devise a plane where only a tiny handful of politically elevated elites get to hand pick their candidate. Without any interference from those dirty little plebians they are SAVING DEMOCRACY(tm) for.
It takes a PhD in indoctrination to come with a plan as stupid as this.
What barely sentient mental midget believes that our candidate selection process should be organized and overseen by Taylor Swift and Oprah!!

We have a country in near collapse and a world teetering on World War III and now Taylor Swift will be making policy. Genius, absolute genius. As another Ldotter said, where do I sign up to change my registration to democrat? Genius. We are so screwed.

Pardon second post. Actually, this is very serious. The root reason of getting rid of Biden is to get rid of Trump and they think Biden is going to lose. If they would dump Biden, what will they do to Trump?

PLEASE (!), could Congress pass a Constitutional Amendment imposing a separation of Politics and the Billionaire Class/Celebrity/Entertainment?
Politicians always think they can become actors and household name celebrities, while Celebrities think "We the People" are dying to have them tell us what to do, and how to do it.
Take ALL the money out of politics and then we'll see how "glamorous" it's considered.

FTA: "The so-called 'blitz primary' would then include weekly forums with each candidate moderated by cultural icons like Michelle Obama, Oprah and Taylor Swift."
In saner times for the Democrats, not that long ago, this would be rejected as an SNL skit, as too laughingly far-fetched to be credible.

I thought The Babylon Bee was at it again, but this is for real. We have sunk to an all time low, if you have the likes of Taylor Swift & Oprah ( real wellsprings of knowledge here) calling the shots on campaigns.

Proof that "Money corrupts".
Sitting in front of a TV camera all day or parading across a stage in front of thousands of FANS in skimpy underwear does not make one a political genius.

Wow and this lady is a Professor? Her title should be downgraded after this stupid idea. Our country is in trouble and not because of Trump. Ever hear of China, Russia, Korea, Iran, BRICS, and Hamas? To have a songwriter, TV Host and someone married to a President filter out who the nominee is just insanity....and you are teaching the American youth? Wow are we in trouble.

FTA: "He left his hotel in Atlanta 27 minutes late and arrived with less than half an hour to spare, with no time to learn where to look when Trump was talking"
He can't figure out in 30 minutes where to look when Trump is talking? He's obviously a whiz at thinking on his feet, right? When he is negotiating with Putin or Xi should he expect to get a full day to figure out which person in the room he is speaking to?

Please tell me how Taylor Swift, Oprah and Clintonites represent the people of this country. Who identifies with these people? Dimwits. Ditto DeNiro, Streisand, Sarandon. Don't they have any smart people in that Party?

Taylor Swift and Oprah have talents in the entertainment field and nothing else. But, Americans have lost all desire to read anything but their texts and have no clue as to what a Democratic Republic, which is what we are, is.

Why is Taylor Swift in the mix? She knows nothing about politics. She is an ad-hock squad member. The rest are desperately attempting to hold onto power. Democrats have taken the country through the FBI, CIA (and other intelligence agencies) and the DOJ. That's how Maduro stays in power, the put all far left lawyers and judges in office.
