idk if you’ve been following the Republican convention, but needless to say, they appear to be very…
“energized”
The democrats need a massive shot in the arm to even have a shot at this point, replacing Biden or naught. The assassination attempt provided a kind of rallying cry for MAGA/ Trumpers that polling won’t capture. Polling is good at capturing the distribution of demographics, but what it misses is how “activated” those demographics are. And boy-howdy, do Trumps key demographics seem activated. Possibly the most activated they’ve ever been, maybe even more-so than post 2020/J6.
If things don’t change massively, and even then, its a super difficult path for Democrats to come back from the situation that Blue MAGA has set up.
Maybe the AOC/ Bernie triangulation is setting up for throwing AOC onto the platform?
Harris/ AOC and the entire platform is: Women liberty and freedom of choice is our focus. If you elect us, our entire focus will be a constitutional amendment supporting a woman’s right to choose. Harris can activate the African American community. Women & the African American community to get NC & GA (maybe?). Let Harris or AOC put out better rhetoric on Gaza and WI/ MI/ MN can be back in play?
Like they’ve got to activate a/ any demographic and make this campaign about SOMETHING, because right now, it looks like the Democrats are stumbling into something similar to this:
There have been some signficant and I think legitimate concerns that if any one but Harris replaces Biden, African Americans, specificially African American women will see this her VP pick as having been purely performative, when its widely acknowledged that Africian American women, specifically, helped deliver Biden the white house.
I think its a legitimate concern and I have no problem with Harris as candidate. Literally any one has a better shot than Joe Biden at this point. Editorially, I think a double woman progressive ticket could be the thing that gets the car back on the road, but I truly do not give a shit. I don’t care if its Andy Beshear. Anyone and everyone would be doing better than Joe Biden is currently.
No worries there. No matter who would replace Biden, past attempts show it’s guaranteed failure.
Swap Biden and a loss is assured.
It’s her Stand
Biden has Blue MAGA and Harris has the African American Community
Once they activate their Stands it is over for whatever this guy is trying to sell
Is this African American community in the room with us right now?
I think y’all over state ability of ex federal prosecutor to resonate with the black community. Kinda tone deaf tbh
