    Why is everyone acting as if she’s an heir or something? All delegates to the convention have already been elected. If Biden steps down, they can vote for whoever, and Dem party rules state that the superdelegates can’t jump in until the 2nd vote if no one wins the first.

      I heard somewhere that all the money raised for the Biden/Harris campaign would stay with Harris if she ran for president.

      I don’t know if that’s true, or what would happen to the money if they both drop out but I heard someone say that.

        This is absolutely not true. The DNC can do whatever the fuck they want with presidential campaign money. It’s a donation to a private organization. There’s no contract unless a big donor insists.

                The best way to facilitate the spread of misinformation, THE critical war which humans are loosing at an increasingly fast rate, is to post the wrong answer on the internet. And, you got a low quality answer because it’s coming also with emotion.

                It’s a cute meme. But, you’re not serving yourself or the community as well as you could if you simply frame it as a question.

                As an example here’s what was missing from the higher quality answer you deserved:

                Donations can be made to candidates. But, the vast majority is made to the national committees, then allocated to presidential and down ballot campaigns. This is one way individual candidates are held ideologically hostage to the changing whims of corporations.

                In the future please just ask questions. We don’t need a community for that on Lemmy… yet.

      “We realized the reason voters want Biden to step down is because Harris is his running mate. So we replaced her with the only Democrat in existence less popular than Biden, and the only person in existence to have lost to the Toupee in an election: Hillary Clinton. It’s her turn.” - Dem leadership.
