Dems absolutely cannot pass over Kamala. That would be the worst decision they can make right now. For better or for worse, it is Biden or Kamala unless they both voluntarily drop out.

And that's why you keep Biden.

Biden loyalists. Never Trumpers. Gen Z.

Watching the Dems rip themselves apart when Trump is the GOP candidate is just sad and scary.

You have your moments but you are sounding as dumb as Greenman and pc geek these days. Try to snap out of it.

Isn't this thread predicated on the assumption that Biden is done? If Biden is out then we have to get rid of Harris too. I mean, I didn't see her going hammer and tongs against all the Democrat traitors who shit bricks because Biden froze in a debate. Just asking while I still have some time before I go kill myself as the sky falls on me.

No what? Biden is not out or we don't have to get rid of Harris?
The idea that if we dump Biden we must also dump Harris. That does not follow logically. The idea that she didn't use "tongs" is disqualifying is nonsense.

Still haven't heard one good explanation of how Harris shakes the stink of Biden and rallies Midwest rust belt indies.

Biden ran on "not Trump." Now Kamala is running as "not Biden?"

She has to run on being safe and normal. She should not talk about progressive policies except to say that Democrats aren't getting any progressive policies without 60 in the Senate which will not happen, so everyone is safe from "socialism" even if she wins. She has to run on stopping Project 2025.

At this point it feels like Dems are bringing a knife to a gunfight with insignificant pieces on the board like Harris.
Funny, I see it more like pulling the old warp core out of the mk1 enterprise and slapping that sucker on the Battlestar Galactica, sure it doesn't fit as well as some might hope but you better believe it's going to do something exciting.

Just play all the clips etc of Vance calling Trump a Nazi etc. Apparently MAGA is not a fan of him already. That pick might cost him some MAGA white nationalist votes.
There is nothing whatsoever that can cost Trump white nationalist votes. The motherfucker hires illegals and the white nationalists still love him for running on stopping illegal immigration.

Why should she not talk policy? That's how Clinton got her teeth kicked in running on vote for me because Trump is a piece of shit. For example she should be shouting from the rooftops about the $2000 annual cap on out of pocket expenses for seniors on Medicare Part D that goes into effect for 2025 but that Trump will 100% reverse if elected. That's one of the scariest things in the world for seniors, that they'll be bankrupted by drug prices.

The issue isn't Biden himself, the problem is Biden can no longer campaign effectively. She can. That's all there is to it.

I'd be shocked if we get a sitting Governor. Why would anyone want to give up an actual executive position to be in the bottom half of the ticker in this electoral shit show?
I don't think they'd have to step down unless the won.

But Harris can’t win, don’t you see? God Damn these Harris cult members. The garbage collector would have a better chance than her. You can’t run a woman on a liberal ticket. It’s an open ticket for Putin to invade. She’ll be soft on everything, for Christ’s sake.

Shit, these cultists are going to kill us!

I'll take a blind jump into somewhere right now..


BTW I'd sure like to know how Ensign Ro got promoted to Admiral and was given command of a Mercury class Battlestar!

You could be right about this. She needs to promise to post troops on the border and execute anyone who crosses. She needs to eliminate Social Security, lower corporate taxes get rid of Medicare, simple normal stuff. She needs to show she can stick it to liberals better than Trump can since she will never be able to stick it to liberals like liberals can for whom Heil Trump easily rolls off their tongues.

I'm not seeing the sudden optimism around here for Kamala. Unless you are implying softening down ballot losses?

This is Biden's ceiling right now with the negatives just increasing. And Joe was only going to get worse.

You need to take a deep breath, let the new ticket campaign and the numbers will go up. Also, I'll take 2% better polling without even being the nominee yet.

Fair enough
