    You should read your own source. This is basically saying that if Republicans allow it to happen the name could be changed. Talk about naive.

          Your link says Biden may not be on the Ohio ballot.

            Yes, that’s correct. The article is from a month ago, where Ohio was trying to keep Biden off of the ballot due to DNC / state procedural bullshit.

            Swap the candidate for someone else and surprise Pikachu when red states refuse to print them on the ballot.

      A. No need for name calling

      B. It says there might be lawsuits and contests, not that the GOP has to allow it to happen. From the article:

      It is possible for parties and election authorities to change or work around these deadlines. For instance, in 2020, the Republican National Convention took place after the deadlines in Alabama and Ohio. In Ohio, the state legislature passed a law to change the deadline that cycle so it took place after the Republican National Convention, and in Alabama, the state’s election authority accepted a placeholder letter from the RNC that said the party would certify a nominee once the official nomination took place.

      It is also possible that changing the Democratic nominee could draw lawsuits related to ballot access. On June 21, 2024, the Heritage Foundation said it would file lawsuits in Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin if Democrats nominated someone other than Biden.

            That’s is not calling someone a name. Ffs. That is a descriptor.

            “You are being naive”

            Is not the same as

            “Dumbass”

              Still an insult, which falls under name calling in my book

                Telling someone that they are being naive is not an insult. You should be old enough to understand that by this point in your life.

                  Telling someone when they are being naive when they don’t agree with you is an insult. It is meant to dismiss them with a hand wave.

                    You may find it insulting, but that doesn’t mean it’s incorrect and it most certainly is not name-calling.

        If it is a red state, then they could simply refuse. You do realize that there were a couple of states that were trying to keep Biden off of the ballot using the existing deadlines as a method, right???

          Not only is that old, it’s also a FoxNews article.

            It is 1 months old. It’s also true. The DNC had to pull some fast changes in order to make it happen.

            FOR BIDEN.

            Do you want to rest on the good will of the politicians in red states for that “trust me bro” guarantee that your new candidate will be on the ballot?

          Yes, and those issue are resolved. Ohio passed legislation to push the date out and Alabama accepted a resolutution saying they would certify Biden. If the red states can refuse anyone, then they would just refuse Biden to begin with. There are legislative deadlines for these things, and all but one is after the DNC, so they would have to sue on very shakey ground. An article from a month does not prove that, it just means the source is behind or did not update the article.

          • Got Alabama and Ohio swapped

            For BIDEN.

            Exactly what do you think is going to happen when you try to swap in someone else? The Republicans are known for acting in good faith. I’m sure nothing bad would happen.
