Biden should resign and make Harris the incumbent prior to the general election, here's why

[duckworth969]

Joe has been the greatest Prez in my lifetime. In three and a half short years, he brought us back from the brink and righted our ship. His accomplishments are astounding.

But this morning, I came to the conclusion that Joe should resign prior to the election. I know that sounds dramatic and it is. If you want to know more about that opinion, there’s a link below to my previous thread.

History shows that incumbents very seldom lose elections. Harris being the Prez not only increases her odds to win, but magnifies the size of her landslide and the power of her mandate.

Timing is tricky and will require Harris’ to walk hard and chew mighty big gum prior to the election. But that’s the gig.

Harris hits the ground on solid footing for her swearing in and puts wind in her sails at the start of her administration.

I think it’s time for us to use our own October Surprise on the Repugs. October 1st or thereabouts sounds good. The shorter the distance between October and the general election gives the Saudis and Russkies less time to jack around with gas prices.

Just prior to the election, Joe could again release gas from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve which he’s done before to keep our enemies at bay. Something that’s gone unnoticed by many is that he has broken the back of OPEC.

Joe is a sly old fox. He skillfully outmaneuvers the MAGAS at nearly every turn. But to my mind, he could even do even more for the future of the country he loves this way.

The longer the time frame we have for reforms and the strengthening our institutions will making fending off fascism in the coming decades much easier.

I want Harris to have eight years to do this rather than four.

If it’s one thing we’ve learned about the Federalist Society/Heritage Foundation and their ilk, they play the long game over decades. We need to do the same to keep authoritarians out of power.
