has a lot of the same baggage Biden has
VP Harris was there to do Biden’s bidding. Candidate Harris can say she has different ideals and policies. Not as clean a break as someone from outside the administration, but a lot of Democrats are eager to put those things behind them and will take a wishy washy statement as enough to focus on all the other stuff they’re worried about.
Even the Uncommitted campaigns about actual genocide happening were extremely reasonable in their demands. They weren’t requesting the US to sanction Israel or put peacekeepers in Gaza, just stop sending them weapons. They want to focus on the danger Trump represents to their community, they just can’t do that while there’s an active genocide being meaningfully supported by the guy they’d be trying to get people to volunteer for.
That she won the popular vote and was within spitting distance of winning the EC despite all these issues should put to rest the idea that a woman can’t win, but the “I’m not sexist, but” people keep using it as justification for only running straight white men. Not to mention that since then the biggest winning issue in politics seems to be abortion, so if anything the environment is even more primed to accept female leadership.
Honestly, I suspect that if they had found out that Harris is more popular than Biden or Trump on a national poll
Maybe you don’t have to suspect and can just read the fucking article. Because you’re wrong and are writing paragraphs of text about how you imagine things happen rather than just taking a minute out of your day to get the information you’re requesting. Don’t demand other people to be your assistant and then get pissy when they call you out for it.
No kidding. People are acting like we need to be finely tuned to capture Republican votes to beat him, but he’s lost every election after the first and has substantial losses within his own party. There are more Democrats than Republicans, and the statewide candidates are winning in swing states. We just need to not put up a train wreck and stop alienating traditional Democratic voting blocks. People don’t actually like Trump.
