The Affirmative Action President

11/10/24 The Hill:
"Jamal Simmons, a former aide to Vice President Harris, called for President Biden to resign so that the vice president can have his role for a short amount of time.

Joe Biden’s been a phenomenal president, he’s lived up to so many of the promises he’s made. There’s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure,” Simmons said on CNN’s “State of the Union” on a panel featuring anchor Dana Bash, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

“He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris president of the United States,” he continued, drawing shocked reactions from others."

I think the theory is that the only way a woman can become president is if the senile occupant resigns so she csn have a brief time in the office.  This is about as blatant a piece of Affirmative Action as I csn imagine.  Not good enough for election but she gets a few weeks in the seat anyway.  

I confess that it is hard to see how Biden is superior to Harris at the moment,  or inferior.

  1. Back in August, I thought there might be a deal in which Biden resigns, Harris becomes President, and Harris also withdraws from the ticket (on the grounds that taking on the Presidency while campaigning would be too much). That would have allowed the Democrats to get rid of both incapable candidates, while Harris got to be President.

    1. After seeing how the media treated Joe, she didn't want for it to seem that she got to be president only through somebody else's manipulations. She wanted to be President just like Joe Biden, and she thought it would work the same for her, too.
