Calls Begin for Kamala Harris to Have a ‘More Important Job' Than ‘Just the Vice President'
[LI] Long before Joe Biden became the Democratic presidential nominee, reports circulated that the then-77-year-old former VP signaled he’d only commit to serving one term if elected. This came after months of Democrats and media figures raised the issue of his age and cognitive health after a series of gaffes and flubs made during the primaries.

Even after he officially secured the nomination, the questions about Biden’s mental fitness to lead persisted. At one point when he was point-blank asked about it by a reporter in early August 2020. Days later, he announced Sen. Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate.

Along with his choice of Harris came the inevitable speculation from Republicans that Biden, who was still made several incoherent statements from the comfort of his basement, would be a mere figurehead if elected. At the same time, Harris would effectively take the reins and officially take them in the event Biden was already making plans to step down after the election.

Such speculation was further fueled by reports from pro-Biden news outlets like CNN, who suggested the reason Biden chose Harris was to have someone ready to step up "if and when" he "decides to step aside."

A month later, both Harris and Biden each talked within a day of each other about a "Harris administration." Harris corrected herself, but Biden did not. Some suggested they’d been caught accidentally saying the quiet part out loud.

Now here we are, a month and a half after Election Day. Literally, just one day after the Electoral College voted to make the victory "official" for Biden and Harris, there are already calls from liberal circles to give Harris a "more important" job than "just the vice president."

#2 Total farce now.

So a corrupt old zombie clown who wasn't elected but will nonetheless take office - thanks to massive, brazen ridiculous fraud - is about to step aside for a whore who also wasn't elected. She only became VP because he needed someone who could tick off identity boxes. This came after she failed to win even a single primary race.

How did this happen to us?
Who the fuck is the pimp manipulating these repulsive and ridiculous whores?

Why is this situation tolerated?

#6 Depending on how things go in GA, she'll may be President of the Senate.

She couldn't make it through the primaries in the Donk run off. They're really putting the illegitimacy into the very existence of the central government.

#10 I suspect they let joe be a figurehead for awhile. if he rams through far left policies that end up unpopular she won't be directly tainted by them. If the policies are popular, they can still go the dementia/Hunter route.

#12 Why is this situation tolerated?

Good question, JS3078. Several potential answers:

1) Because the Normies are in shock - a state of Denial that eventually will give away to Bargaining, Acceptance and finally Death.

2) Because the mostly peaceful protestors (MPPs) have terrified the law-abiding Normies into submission. They value Peace more than honesty and integrity-- a perfectly rational choice, bolstered by the evident fact that many of those charged with interpreting the laws fear violence by the MPPs if the laws are upheld.

3) In contrast to 1) and 2), this madness actually won't be tolerated much longer. The Normies are merely keeping their powder dry and will soon engage in mass civil disobedience and nationwide strikes.

Which is it? Place your bets, folks
