Joe's options might be dwindling, but he has one last option - critique my idea [View all]

Yes, I can see the writing on the wall today and I feel helpless to do anything to change it.

So whats next?

Well Joe has one last option to go down in history as a hero who sacrificed himself to save humanity from the disaster that awaits. And yes, Trump is not gonna just be a disaster for the USA its also for the rest of the world. Now I know what everyone is thinking that it would be impossible for a strong candidate to emerge in the subsequent chaos. But there is an option and its all within Joes power.

What could he do?

First, delegate the POTUS nomination to Kamala Harris, thats simple.

Then also nominate Michelle Obama as VP.

Imagine how powerful this step would be. At the same time as healing internal divisions he creates one of the most popular tickets in Democratic history - Harris / Obama 2024!
