    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.

      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.

      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.

          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.

      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.

        100% agree. I don’t see any reason why she shouldn’t have just as much of a chance to beat Trump as Biden did, when Biden was essentially coasting on the “not Trump” vote anyway. That’s not to say he didn’t have legitimate achievements during his term - he is doing a fantastic job as president, but he doesn’t do a great job at communicating that when the people that need to hear it are watching. His political messaging/timing is terrible.

        Hopefully bringing Kamala into the forefront of the race will give the party a jolt of energy since it seems like a majority of the average voters approve of Biden stepping down. I’m just happy that we can finally shift the conversation away from age and aptitude and focus on the issues that people are going to actually turn out for - the economy, Dobbs, and SCOTUS nominations/reform.

      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
