If your master plan is to run Harris, just keep Biden. Harris is less likeable than a corpse and hrc. Selecting her as VP was a huge mistake, but mistakes are apparently the DNC’s specialty.

Oh hey, that guy in the other thread was right! Tagging people as “Trumpy” is super helpful!

She was elected as AG twice and as a senator once. It’s not like she was just appointed out of nowhere due to her skin color.

I honestly do not understand the Harris hate? Is it because she was a prosecutor? A woman? Her skin-color? People keep assuring me everyone always hated her, but I legit don’t remember that.

The right was hammering on how she “cackles”, just like they did with HRC. The left is not enamored of her cop past.

I seem to recall something about how she was pretty crappy or made some bad moves while she was DA, but I can’t say for certain 🤷 honestly her VP record seems pretty good. It’s a pretty invisible position, but if you look up stuff specifically she’s been doing a lot of good.

Please give specific examples as to why Harris is “less likable than a corpse”. Is it because she’s a woman? No vague answers.

It would be the most Democratic Party move ever to push Joe out and announce Hillary again.

It’ll never happen. It’s such an idiotic thought as to make me wonder what the hell your motivations are.

If it wasn’t clear I don’t want it to happen…but over the years I have felt pretty disenfranchised by the actions of the party vs the will of the voters, and I am still going to vote for them.

I am still going to vote for them.

This is why things have gotten progressively worse, they can do anything they want, including ignoring their base, and rest assured it won’t cost them votes.

Last time we didn’t vote for Hillary we ended up with a fascist Supreme Court. I’ll hold my judgment.

Harris is even more unlikeable than a corpse and hrc, so the DNC will likely settle on her.

Primary.

Ideally, Biden and Harris would both voluntarily fuck off, placing the needs of the country ahead of personal ambition (well, hubris, really).

Guys, we are completely fucked right now. A jolt to the system is necessary if we wish to maintain even a hope of preserving America.

The fuck??

Harris is the only one meeting with the Democrat’s base for the past year (with Biden), offering assurances to Unions and other groups. You know, the only one actively campaigning aside from Biden.

Its like yall think that this shit doesn’t matter or something.

And a whole lot of fucking good that’s done. What’s necessary is a fresh start, a vigorous process, and, frankly, someone unconnected to Biden’s foreign policy as it applies to israel.

Any assclown can do what you seem to imagine is exclusively in Harris’ wheelhouse.

Edit: I’m voting D no matter what.

No other candidate can inherit Bidens will like Harris can. Specifically with regards to the donations already pledged to Biden.

Please gawd, don’t make it look like they are just anointing a Chosen One, who is due “her turn”. No more diversity box-checking…have a primary. If she wins, then fantastic. Otherwise, it will just be constant division and resentment, and you can count on the bothsiderist media will hit that nerve over and over again to contrast with donnie being so old and in obvious mental decline.

It’s the price for skipping the primary. I have no qualms because I know I spoke up on a 100 different occasions.

Do a mini primary. I personally don’t think Harris is a best fit. I mean I’m going to vote for whatever nitwit they put into the slot, because fuck Trump with razor wire, but I’d like to at least have a chance to vote for which nitwit we get.
