Hopefully we can get a halfway decent candidate that isn’t going to continue support and fund a genocide.

I’m not holding my breath but if they want the best chance they should go with someone else. I think she’ll have a tough time beating trump

Who? They have to be:

  • well known - they’re only getting a few months to build a campaign
  • relatively centrist - a lot of people in the middle dislike Trump, so that’s who you need to court
  • no major red flags - Trump will rip people apart, if the candidate has failings, they need to be conservative-friendly failings
  • well-funded - perhaps the most important, and Kamala has the Biden-Harris money to use

She’s a terrible candidate, but I think she ticks the boxes above. I’m not voting for her or Trump, but I do think she’s the best option for the DNC, unless some billionaire decides to run.

If they get another genocide supporter, then nobody will vote for them either
