      She literally polls better what are you on about. Also her target demographic is not your racist uncle; Democrats were never getting that vote regardless.

        The problem is the swing votes. And I personally know several Christian woman that claim men should lead and they would never vote for a woman. And racism is still very real. Sure, democrats would vote for her without hesitation, but she would likely lose.

        Here’s what I’ve seen and heard about Harris:

        She’s not white. WOMAN. ACAB. Not popular. Is popular. Can win. Can’t win. Biden better. No. Polls well! Never talked about.

        Please, let’s split the base more while the Republicans all-in on one guy. We’ll be fucked the same way we always actually are: By ourselves.

      They may be starting to understand that the only way to unfuck the country is to get the Presidency, House and Senate all at once, nuke the Fillibuster, and do all the things. So they’ll not only need Harris to win, but help carry the last few seats needed for both houses.

        Good luck with that! They will keep doing what they’ve been doing all along, with the same results.

    Looks like they’ve made a decision and are getting everyone ready for it. President Harris here we come. Fuck.

      Yeah except her approval ratings are consistently even worse than Bidens. Either person on the ticket is likely to get smoked by Trump at this point, unless there is some other major inflection point between now and the election.

        I don’t like her much, but I’d take her in a heartbeat over Biden. It is a shame Biden didn’t plan to step down after his first term so we could have a proper primary. Would love to see Pete Buttigieg over Kamala.

            So do Biden’s approval numbers. That wasn’t the statement being countered, it was that Harris was consistently less popular than Biden. She has better approval numbers than Biden and did even before the debate. She’s not popular, but she’s more popular than Biden, despite older wisdom that she was not. And Trump is also well underwater on approval.

    All these Democrats need to get completely 100% behind President Biden so we can throw this bunch of turkeys on their asses. Being namby pamby about it is just helping Trump.

    Win what “overwhelmingly”? There’s nothing more to win between now and election day. Well… the 2nd debate maybe.

    Biden loses the election, he’s done. Win or lose, odds are pretty good he’s not making it to '28 regardless.
