So? Are you claiming this wouldn't be news?
If you want to blatantly ignore the association, you're not asking me in good faith.
No, I want to know what your implication is. This sounds a lot like "fake news!" for a thing that is quite obviously newsworthy.
What jackass thinks white America will vote for a black, female, Attorney General, from CALIFORNIA
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.
I’ll vote for any D. That said, Biden doesn’t inspire confidence.
Win overwhelmingly? Usually they'll take any win.
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.
biden won by almost 8 million(?) votes lst time. is that not overwhelming enough? just because most of the votes were concentrated in heavily democratic states will not change the fact that it's still going to be and always was going to be a battle in swing states, and there is not a ronald reagan 49 state win candidate out there.
how about you future senator schiff not contribute to the biden must step down media ushed bullshit story and do what the rest of the base of the party is doing and back your candidate?
The democrat party uniting behind Biden will solve nothing. The fundamental issue is not a disunited party turning off voters , the issue is Bidens health.
To win the election the democrats need to convince the swing voters and undecided middle ground.
Bidens health issue aren't going to go away. In fact they can only get worse - people don't bounce back from age related decline.
Trump lied repeatedly during the debate, yet no one has taken him to task over it because all anyone can talk about is Biden's health.
Biden won't just lose the presidency, but will also impact all the down ticket candidates for the senate and house. The real risk here is handing Trump the Whitehouse and congress if nothing is done.
Please stop defending the madness. He needs to be replaced before its too late, for the greater good of the USA and the rest of the world. He was a good president but he is not the candidate for this election. Don't hand Trump the presidency by allowing such a vulnerable candidate to run.
Why is his health such an issue if his supposed replacement is already the replacement in case his health detoriates, as she's Vice President?
The issue is that a large portion of the undecided voters, who we need to win over, are stupid. Regardless of how much or little sense something makes, it needs to be electorally sound.
Running the country isn't the problem, effectively campaigning is. After that debate every time Biden has a senior moment, that's going to be the story. Gut-based voters will see him as weak. People managing their own elderly relatives will think about how fast they declined. Not to mention their new practices to keep him fresh preclude a heavy campaign schedule he needs to do in order to catch up.
you told on yourself when you called it the "democrat party". why should i listen to a chaos agent?
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.
They aren't though. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/approval/kamala-harris/
Those show a majority of people disapprove of her across every poll in the link…
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.
You'd rather have President Trump?
To be perfectly honest, I'd rather have President Biden than President Harris, but I'll take any non-fascist over fascism.
Of course nobody was saying that and you fucking know it
Considering the large number of people who have been saying exactly that, I don't know it.
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.
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.
