Joe is out

please, I honestly want to know what good things he did for the country. I keep asking people that liked him this question and the only answer I ever get is something they don't like about Trump. So, can anyone tell me, with out mentioning Trump, what good Biden did for the country? This is an honest question, not trying to cause hate or anger.

And I will enthusiastically go out to get votes for Harris.

Harris will always be herself - which is a bad temper, no manners, ill fitting pantsuits and faux pearls. The "face" she puts on for the public is who she is. She will never get the votes with it.

Clearly. That's why you and the trumpers are running around on social media rn like chickens with your head cut off.

That’s how deliriously happy people react. Dems are so busy being offended and enraged about stuff they don’t recognize pure joy when they see it.

I honestly don’t understand the deliriously happy reactions. The guy you were beating just stepped aside. I would think they’d want him to stay in the race.

Biden was the highest performing opponent in those polls.

No, he wasn't. Trump would prefer Biden. It's a known entity.

+1
That’s been his entire focus over the past 4 years.

+1 what personal aspect of Harris' life will Trump go after? How she's not a "real American", unlike his immigrant wife who used chain migration to bring her communist parents to the US?

Exactly.
“F Joe Biden!”
“Sleepy Joe”
“Let’s Go Brandon”
“Hey, he’s out! Hell yeah! Back to your basement sleepy Joe!”

“Ok. Now what…?”

Don’t fool yourselves. The GOP has the dark money to spend gathering intel and workshopping messages on all the Democrats, but they’d have that to go on any Democrat.

It’ll be a fairly quiet few days and then the right wing will begin disseminating their talking points to their online army and then there will be some talking point. They used up a bunch during the 2020 primary season, but they’ll be organized about it.

Let’s see it for what it is and ignore it. President Biden has urged us to unite behind VP Harris and I am going to. The GOP is posing the end of America, and while their drooling followers applaud it (while telling us it’s not the GOP’s agenda at all), we must oppose it. That way lies birth control banned, NOAA unfunded and no more weather forecasts, “illegal immigrants” rounded up (but more likely just brown people), and a destroyed government.

You want to turn out vote? Antagonize a woman of color.

Well, except for Joe Biden, who had to be forced out by his own party when he refused to willingly bow out months ago.

But he eventually did. Trump, oth, will never bow out, not that the MAGA would want him to, even if he is a senile old fart.

She's "left wing" in that she was a progressive prosecutor in the 90s. By today's terms, she's moderate, centrist.

+1 I’m a moderate Democrat and she was one of my favorites in 2020 along with Biden and Michael Bennet. Ask the actual left wingers whether she’s left wing.

Yup. Progressives think she’s basically a republican.

Progressive endorsed her in like 5 minutes. Try harder

+1 I don’t like Jayapal and she pretty much ruined 2021 but she gets a thumbs up from me for this.

He went to a debate with a format chosen by Biden. The debate he wasn’t going to show up to, remember? But he showed up and exposed Biden.

Is it true Obama declined to endorse Harris?

He released a statement and did not endorse her.

If you're paying attention the narrative is shifting to this can't be seen as a coronation it needs to be an open process etc. Let's see how she polls.

And only Klobschar has endorsed her.

Not true. Bill and Hillary endorsed early on.
In the House, Harris has received endorsements so far from:
Rep. Jamal Bowman, D-N.Y.; Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.; Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif.; Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif.; Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas; Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif.; Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich.; Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich.; Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo.; Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.; Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla.; Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla.; Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev.; Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif.; Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga.; Rep. Gwen Moore, D-Wis.; Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill.; Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y.; Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C.; Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich.; Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va.; Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., and Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore.

In the Senate, Harris has received endorsements so far from:
Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii; Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.; Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va.; Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn.; Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.; Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; Sen. Ed Markey, D- Mass.; Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.; Sen. Laphonza Butler, D-Calif.; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del.; Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., and Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif.

DONORS coalesce their support around Harris
"I don't think that having some kind of bitter inner party fight over the nomination is going to help. If Biden is endorsing Harris, then I think that basically decides it," said one donor who initially pledged to contribute more than $1.8 million to Biden before withholding their contribution over concerns about Biden's viability as the nominee.

Reacting to Biden's decision to drop out of the race and endorse Harris, that same donor said they now plan to resume their pledged contribution to Harris.

"I just texted Rufus Gifford," the donor said, referring to the Biden-Harris campaign finance chair. "I told him I'm all in."

Another donor -- who originally said that she planned to withhold her contribution and preferred an open convention -- told ABC News that she now fully supports Harris following Biden's withdrawal and endorsement.

"I am convinced that 100% of us will get behind her," said the donor, who previously held a fundraiser for Biden in her home. "Some people are getting their funds transfer information organized as we speak."

Some of the donors who spoke with ABC News were not enthusiastic about Harris compared to other Democratic politicians -- including California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer -- but described Harris as the inevitable nominee.

"I can't see how any other serious candidate could come out at this point and say, I'm running for the nomination against Harris," another Democratic donor said.

If Biden vs Trump still is the top one then everyone who called for Biden's ouster needs to be kicked out of the DNC or any other position of leadership. If NONE of them beats Trump in polling then likewise they are idiots who need to be kicked out of any position of leadership.

These polls have been done for the last three weeks and Harris did the best consistently.

Civil war to come. This is not good. Should be unified around Harris to have a chance to win. If there is fighting around pushing out Harris, party is doomed!

I hope that the Dems remember the ugliness when Bernie didn't win the nomination. I agree Dems need to coalesce around the nominee.

I think (hope) people will be glad to have a younger person that they can support, anyone other than Trump or Biden. So many people are just sick of old farts trying to run our country.

Bernie is not a democrat.

Harris is.

What was your point?

um no, they have come out swinging tying Harris to Biden, especially regarding the border mess.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4784658-trump-campaign-attacks-harris/

The number of migrants unlawfully crossing the U.S. southern border has continued to drop markedly in July, nearing a threshold that would require officials to lift a partial ban on asylum claims enacted by President Biden, according to internal government data obtained by CBS News.

July is on track to see the fifth consecutive monthly drop in migrant apprehensions along the U.S.-Mexico border and the lowest level in illegal immigration there since the fall of 2020, during the Trump administration, the internal Department of Homeland Security figures show.

In early June, President Biden invoked a far-reaching presidential authority to suspend the entry of most migrants entering the U.S. illegally, effectively shutting off access to the American asylum system outside of official ports of entry.

Illegal border crossings — which were already falling before Mr. Biden's action — plunged further after the order took effect, reaching a three-year low in June.

Try harder.

Why are you Dems so dumb.

I despise Trump to the last molecule of my being.

But, they've done a good job tying the border mess to Harris, and you cannot erase 3 years of the mess at the border in 3 months, especially when the MAGA camp will be pushing this message 24/7.

I think you Dems are stupid smart - there's a lot of educated brain power there, but you don't know how to read the room.

Ok, where do you stand on Trump tanking the bi-partisan border bill that was set to pass?

Of course I blame him. But that's not the point.

Voters care about the economy. MAGA have tied the border mess, illegal immigrants flooding MI, NY, IL etc.. getting shelter and food at the expense of taxpayers, to Biden/Harris. Voters are having to deal with inflation, high housing costs, etc.. and to see illegal immigrants getting housing and food allowances makes them upset.
Heck even the leaders of Chicago and NYC are saying enough illegal immigrants.

Three years of this mess won't be wiped out in three months in the minds of the public.

I honestly don't understand how you Dems don't understand basic human nature.

Human nature is also optics. Old, sweaty, rambling dude vs. younger, strong, coherent woman. No brainer.

vance is there to balance that out

Vance himself said Trump was "America's Hitler" and the Dems have plenty of ammunition for ripping him to pieces.

And Kamala called Biden a racist on numerous occasions. How did that work out for her?

This is a lie, but that's expected from MAGA.

https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-9244041620

yes, but Vance did call Trump an idiot and basically Hitler.

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jd-vance-once-compared-trump-hitler-now-they-are-running-mates-2024-07-15/

And Trump forgave him. Maybe he’s not the bad evil guy everyone is saying he is
