You want Harris? You already have her. We’re being manipulated into fighting about it to lose moderates.

That is what just amazes me. She is already the backup if he got that bad (and despite peoples hyperbole he is not that bad currently). I mean I will vote for her as the canidate just like I did for her being vp but I find the whole have biden step down is pointless and likely to just make things worse.

I think it not only hurts Trump’s arguments against Biden for all the bullshit they’ve brought up over the last 4 years (hunter, Ukraine, etc…) but it also allows her to step up and unload on Trump which Biden just doesn’t have the energy or mental capacity to properly do anymore.

That and not that any moderates were on the fence about him or trump, but they might have been on the fence about Biden or just not voting. Here’s to hoping she isn’t completely pathetic and doesn’t fall flat on her face immediately… But then again these are Democrats, and if anything “we’re” the best at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory…

People want a ticket they can be excited about to make sure people get out there and vote in November. While potential Biden voters are not going to switch to Trump, there’s a real chance they might stay home. That’s essentially a vote for Trump.

Yeah, the Democrats really need a Hail Mary. Kamala is the best bet based upon where she is right now.

Yes, it’s a risk, but not as risky as keeping Joe as the candidate.

yeah but 100% no replacement will get people to be excited. There is always a chance that potential voters will stay at home no matter who is running. I won’t be one of them. Well actually I will because my state does mail in.
