Oh boy, I can’t wait for armchair pundits who were calling for Joe to step down to now turn around and start to nitpick Harris as if that wasn’t going to be the obvious successor.
I’m 100% behind Harris or anyone who gets the Dem nom. Trump must be stopped.
This is still a battle for America’s soul. Are we going to accept the first female president or the first convicted felon president? I sure hope the left turns out for this one, even if they aren’t super stoked about it, because we might never recover from another Trump disaster.
She’s a very bland candidate, but at least she’s not 80 and fading.
Whether that’s enough to get people up off their arses and into voting booths, I don’t know.
You really need somebody that’s going to invigorate the centre and left, the way Trump excites the right. Dyed in the wool Dems don’t care who the candidate is, they’d have been happy with Biden’s corpse. The issue is there’s not a lot of time left for experimentation in finding one.
A female candidate can put Roe v Wade in the limelight the entire campaign, and that’s a really easy winning message (based on all the special elections since it was overturned)
It’s not just pundits, Nancy Pelosi wants Harris off the ticket. I already donated to her campaign and called my reps to let them know that’s a bad idea.
Harris might be a disaster. I’ve no problem with her whatsoever personally, but she has no charm and zero leadership skill. I wish these things didn’t matter but they do.
Yep. She gets my vote as a living, breathing person that seems healthy enough. I’m not excited to vote for her, and I’m really concerned about our chances with her, but she’s not Trump and automatically gets my vote assuming she gets the nomination.
For an American president? I mean, yes, hence my complaint. But to be clear, that’s not something the presidential job of making good decisions technically requires, except insofar as electing an American politician has become tantamount to choosing a babysitter for the masses.
No I actually don’t. I am very worried that Trump will win because she’s a little bland. IMO, she is more progressive than Biden and likely to make better decisions. I’m just stressing that she might be a little… bland for the American horde. They tend to expect an entertainer.

I don’t prefer Harris, but am 100% fine with her. Any D 2024. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
I’m not super stoked about her, and I’ll crawl across 5 states filled with broken glass to get back home and vote for her.

The Roe v. Wade issue is a strong strategy, and I look forward to her bringing it up continuously.
“I’ve got conviction, Trump’s got convictions” seems like a good slogan.
There’s a shitload of time. We’ve been conditioned to think it takes 2 years to run a presidential campaign. Nonsense.
It’s going to be so crazy now; it’ll feel like years. Just wait and see.

You don’t think leadership skill should matter in a President…?
For an American president? I mean, yes, hence my complaint. But to be clear, that’s not something the presidential job of making good decisions technically requires, except insofar as electing an American politician has become tantamount to choosing a babysitter for the masses.
Oh, I think you do.
No I actually don’t. I am very worried that Trump will win because she’s a little bland. IMO, she is more progressive than Biden and likely to make better decisions. I’m just stressing that she might be a little… bland for the American horde. They tend to expect an entertainer.
She’s an improvement and is sufficient to beat Trump.
I’m not going to discourage party leadership when they’re actually listening for once.
and this is exactly why Trumps exist
one party is actively tearing down society and the other is complacent and the voters eat it up
Name literally one thing democrats are complacent on and don’t actively want to reform.
Support for genocide in Israel seems like the obvious one
minimum wage stuck $7.25
cannabis legalization stalled decades ago
women’s rights
police reform

… Are you serious about the women’s rights part? Republicans overturned Roe and they’ve lost every election with abortion rights on the ballot since.
You can look up the DeMoNcRaT cities that have started to send crisis response teams instead of cops for certain calls. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/state-policing-reforms-george-floyds-murder
You came with the receipts and they shut up.
Thank you.
