I dont want her to be president.
But she’s the only one the DNC will let run. And she can actually beat Trump in the general.
Unfortunately Biden and his supporters are willing to let trump win than someone besides Joe. Even though Kamala is going to do all the shitty neo liberal shit they want, and probably pull the same no primary shit in 2028 if she wins this election.
I’m pessimistic and hope I’m wrong, but I think we might be underestimating the pull of racism/sexism that still exists.
I feel like if we put Kamala at the top of the ticket, she’d need a really strong and ‘traditional’ running mate. Like, this guys got to be the straightest, whitest and richest guy you’ve ever seen. I kinda feel like they’ve been exploring that with a lot of top democratic people meeting with Biden lately.
I think anyone below the age of 70, with the blessing of the DNC, can win. Trump is a weak candidate who only really appeals to angry dumb people and guys with bags of money.
Yep
Moderates want to act like he’s some great politician that’s unbeatable except for checks notes two of the most unpopular Dem candidates to ever run for president?
The last 8 years has felt like a mashup of Groundhogs Day and Brewster’s Millions.
But for whatever reason, at least on here some people seem to have fully fallen for it
I would vote for Michelle Obama if I were American.
National polls for presidential candidates are not only irrelevant, but actively harmful.
Good thing she’s VP to an ancient already. What’s the angle here? We get her either way dont we?
Hey!
It’s that account that literally just said it has to be Joe because Kamala wasn’t polling ahead of trump even tho she’s not campaigning yet…
What’s the new reason for why only Joe can be the candidate now?
Woo, she’d barely win the popular vote and lose the electoral college!
Why don’t we get a real fucking candidate.
That’s the problem, isn’t it? Show me your idea of a real candidate and I’ll find you a bunch of Dems who would rather have Harris or stick with Biden.
There are a number of them being floated right now. If Biden had dropped out a year ago, they would’ve had a traditional competition in the primary. Then we would’ve all gotten complacent and assumed we had it made, and we’d end up in 2016 again.
But to directly answer your question, the names I see being floated the most are CA gov Newsom, MI gov Whitmer, KY gov Beshear, and PA gov Shapiro. And yes, switching to any of them would be difficult and risky.
because the DNC doesn’t want a real candidate. They still don’t even think Trump’s a threat.
Both sides had 4 years to prepare. The GOP, as much as I loathe them, used those years well to develop a plan to destroy our democracy. The Democrats decided early on that they had 2024 in the bag, and have done nothing in the intervening years. They could have picked basically any Democrat and built up their candidacy for the last four years, they could have had a real primary with debates, but instead we’ve all been told to shut the fuck up and vote blue no matter who.
