One of the best things going for Biden is that he's running against persistent and ongoing Republican incompetence. Please, carry forth with this strategy...
"In a victory for the extremist wing of the Republican Party, it looks like Donald Trump’s hand-picked leadership team at the Republican National Committee has officially scrapped the GOP’s plan to encourage early voting this election cycle. Instead, the party is taking steps to prioritize legal challenges to voting systems ahead of November." https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/main-in-voting-bank-your-vote-republicans-rcna143291 |
Biden is kicking your asses. Republicans despise each other so much the marginally sane ones are quitting and the delusional ones are at each other’s throats. This is going to be a Democratic landslide. |
This is what you call "stabilizing"? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/biden-has-marginal-1-point-lead-over-trump-reutersipsos-poll-shows-2024-03-14/ |
Most people that are as old as Trump and Biden or have resided with family members in this age group don't need to imagine the additional challenges elderly people will have while performing a job as mentally and physically demanding as POTUS. While you're correct about the ridiculousness of pretending like these two can be trusted as fit to serve another term, I'm not equating the flaws and weaknesses of Trump and Biden. Trump has an additional layer of unfitness in his lack of integrity. I also don't understand the hate for Harris. Her performance or lack there of has been no more remarkably good or bad than any other VP in recent decades. It's a background position that has a way of making the position holder appear disinterested and aloof. There is very little substance to judge her tenure as VP on and therefore I don't understand where any strong approval or disapproval can come from. |
Harris is a woman Harris is of color. Hence, the hate. See Tan Suit and Obama for a gut check. |
Oh, please. She couldn't even get a decent number of votes in her own state during the 2020 primary. People don't like her because the things she has become known for is her efforts in serving as border czar - which have failed spectacularly. her love of Venn diagrams and yellow school buses, and her propensity to create elaborate word salads when she speaks in public. |
Harris wasn’t even on the ballot in the 2020 California primary because her campaign ran out of money long before Super Tuesday. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/03/03/us/elections/results-california-president-democrat-primary-election.html |
Because she HAD NO SUPPORT!! And, unless you think Democrats are so racist that they won't vote for a woman of color......... |
None of this matters. Harris was chosen by Biden to be his running mate and regardless of what the public or the rest of the party thought of her, she became next in line to the presidency when Biden was inaugurated. Biden was similarly unpopular when he was chosen as running mate by Obama in 2008. His run for president in 2008 ended after one state primary where he garnered 1% of the vote yet Obama thought he was the best choice as a running mate. Biden has evolved into a more likable person in a grandpa kind of way but he was no more likable than Harris back when he was in the prime of his political career. Being likable helps to get one elected but otherwise there are more important traits a good executive needs to have. |
None of which Harris has demonstrated to have. |
I don't care about her color. But she had better be competent and not giggle because she can't handle the job. |
Lol at those of you bashing Harris. If I were you, I would withhold final judgment until we see which who Trump chooses for his running mate. It’s a pointless discussion until then. |
Harris is competent. Competence alone doesn't make one the best option for VP but there is no reasonable path for her to be replaced as Biden's 2024 running mate and therefore debating whether or not she is the best option is a waste of time. We are about to have two major party nominees that likely won't be able to sustain an acceptable level of mental fitness for this demanding job throughout the duration of the term they are seeking. This is the conundrum to be discussed at this time. When Trump announces his running mate, we can then compare the strengths and weaknesses of the two running mates which will be an important comparison considering the higher than ever before likelihood of a VP having to step in to replace the POTUS at some point during the four year term. Something tells me Harris will compare favorably to any person crazy enough to accept the Trump running mate position. |
If it's another female atty, all will be fine. |
This is the hill you are going to die on? Everyone has a giggle or smirk or tick, we are all human. |
