Yeah, OK.

So this is the prob with most people. Holding office is very different than looking at the results of that experience. You can be put into many situations but if your record shows faults, it's with examining and analyzing to see if it's the person in charge or out of their control issues. In her case, she has a pattern of scary and controversial actions esp as CA AG. I would also not suggest she's been awesome being VP. Just because you can tack on the titles does not mean she's been good doing the work. There's a huge difference in being effective and holding office and serious questions on her performance overall.

Again, you can put a bandaid on it and I get that there's not much else you can do currently than this but let's all not put our heads in the sand and pretend she is the best we have of all time to be POTUS!

I'm a diversity female so I also get how thrilling it is that she's different and exciting but it does not make her better or good. It simply makes her different.

I wish people were less emotional. Yes Trump is terrible but it's so important to not misconstrue a candidate as a better one v different one. Kamala is different but not actually better in all the ways an effective POTUS would be.

I disagreed a lot with Obama esp in foreign policy as a Dem but I respect him as someone truly effective in his time. He had the intellect, character and ability to lead in a way Kamala does not. For me, he's awesome. Not because I agreed with him on everything but because I respected him. I do not respect Kamala. If you've seen her in action, I'm not sure how you disagree!

Yeah, bullshit. Even if I accepted your premise that Harris was so terrible that she won election after election, how does one go from that to supporting a chaotic, serially bankrupt rapist like Trump? And it’s not about “Trump bad”, it’s about “WTF are you thinking?”

But you don't go all in and call her the best candidate! You go in understanding her strengths and weaknesses is what I'm suggesting. This is people over emotional and they will lose like this.

You realize she's a bandaid. Biden chose her for her diversity vote. Totally. If you don't admit that you will suffer the consequences. She's horrible in many of the opportunities she's had on camera and as CA AG yikes!

Vote for her sure but don't build her up to be who she is not. I guarantee 28 belongs to GOP.

Whether I voted for T is not the issue. You still have run someone I believe in to get my vote. I'm over the first woman, first black, first Asian thing with Kamala. She's a human being and I vote for the human I can get behind. Trump or no Trump.

I want the best person for the job. Anything less is just reverse discrimination. Hillary had so many issues. It's her. Not her as a woman!

I agree with you, but it's still exciting to think a woman (and a minority) might become POTUS.

In any case, no politician is perfect, so you have to just pick the lesser of the two evils.

Trump is a national security risk, even is national security advisors thought so. That's enough for me to not vote for him.

Can Biden step down and hand Kamala the 47th presidency and she run as the incumbent?

Yep. White women have made it known they will not vote for a woman president. More white women voted for a sexual predator than Hillary.

It's sad that I can't get my hopes up.

The voters will not make the same mistake twice. Not electing HRC cost us dearly and we won't forget that.

But even though he lost some people still voted for him again and in some demographics he increased voters. People have short memories in this country I fear they will forget already I see people talking about abortion isn't a primary issue.
It helps some that Biden is no longer on the ticket so there's less of an incumbent fatigue if you wil .

Abortion is a top issue. There is no doubt about this.

So you’re saying that when people are positive and enthusiastic about their candidate… they lose.

This is a very interesting thesis and I think you should test it out and start a career in Republican campaigns.

Independent, in menopause, who worries for her DD

Every man with a wife and/or daughter should be worried for them if they love them.

+2. My daughter’s life could be threatened by these laws. Of course it’s my top voting issue.

Well the top voting issue for most people is the economy and Trumps economy was better than Bidens. I miss the days when 100 dollars meant a trunk full of groceries not just 2 bags

Your grocery prices have more to do with corporate greed than Biden or Trump.

The grocery prices increased due to the border crisis and war on energy from this crazy administration. A grocery truck isn’t going to run on hydro power and wind . Insane Dems want to get oil and gas cancelled and get meat cancelled as well. Cows are apparently bad for the environment so we need to eat bugs
For protein as well. They want overreach in every part of our lives for no good reason

? It's not from the border crisis. What news stories are you reading?

Inflation was caused by pent up demand (due to pandemic) + stimulus money (started by Trump btw) + supply chain issues from the pandemic.

Four years after covid, we are seeing some of the issues ease.

They opened the floodgates and a huge wave of migrants came in crossing farmland

https://www.agriculturedive.com/news/farm-immigration-border-crossings-food-safety-oped/703265/

Many migrants making their way through the U.S. trespass onto farmland, creating a number of safety concerns and forcing farmers to take on additional costs to protect their operations. Every intrusion must be carefully documented, and farmers have to destroy any crops around areas where illegal trespassing occurred to prevent contamination.

To prevent such intrusions, farmers have purchased expensive fencing to prevent people from entering their fields and technology to increase electronic field monitoring. They’ve also invested in no trespassing signage in English and Spanish, plus dumpsters and bathrooms for immigrants to use to keep the fields safe.

Yuma County Emergency Management, for example, has budgeted $70,000 to lease port-a-potties. At a congressional hearing this year, Arizona farmers and others detailed costs in the tens of thousands to replace fences, pick up litter and install signage.

But fields aren’t the only safety concern. Increased cartel activity along the border has also made it necessary for Yuma farmers to implement additional safety measures and training, with some paying for additional labor to eliminate the danger posed to lone workers. Migrants themselves are also at risk, and could be harmed by large farm equipment or the effects of pesticide or fertilizer application.

This border crisis is costing farmers and ranchers a fortune, as illegal immigrants leave property damage, piles of trash, and damaged crops in their wake. These people must often spend their hard-earned money to secure their farms and ranches from the devastating consequences of Biden's border crisis.

So, illegal immigrants are killing our farms even as they are the ones who mostly work the fields.

High food prices aren't caused by farmers raising the price because of illegal immigrants. It's due to corporate greed now.

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan...by-corporate-profits

Corporate greed? You mean capitalism ? That always existed .

The change was the war in Ukraine causing global shortages of grains and in the US that affected prices as well as the border crisis . Such a huge amount of migrants were crossing over every day on farms . To prevent contamination, Farmers and ranchers had to build up fences and put security measures to prevent migrant foot traffic over the crops . The border crisis and open door policy of this clueless administration did cause an increase in grocery prices. We didn’t even see the price hikes from COVID 19 or Trumps tariffs on China

It's not our fault if she sat out some elections.

You are dense. There's never been a presidential election she's been eligible to vote in where a Bush, Clinton or Biden wasn't on the ticket.

1981–Carter-Regan. She was old enough to vote then.

Who was Reagan’s VP again?

GOP scuttled its own immigration bill. The GOP owns the problem now.
