Yep, ol Kamala is still in the race and riding those crowds of AA voters to victory. Good for her! So popular!

Yeah she'd still be in the race if she had substantial AA support. Nope.

Take a look at articles on this subject from December 2019. The reason Harris was not getting lots of black votes was not that black voters dislike her, but rather that most black voters stood behind Joe Biden, as they still do.

More importantly, if you are limiting Harris to just “the black VP,” and asking yourself only how many black votes she adds, you’re ignoring all the other strengths she brings to the ticket. There’s a long list on this thread, and her appeal to black voters is only one item among at least 10, and probably one of the least significant in this situation.

If anything, the negative to Harris is not that black voters will reject her, but rather that some racist white voters will be so deranged by their inability to vote for a ticket with a black VP that they’ll stay home. Personally, I’m ok skipping those racist voters, and I wouldn’t want Biden to pass over a black VP in an effort to make those racists happy.

Will she help in WI, PA, MI, FL? That is the only relevant question. I’m sure it’s being poll tested as we’re writing.

The market meltdown + coronavirus has drastically changed the tenor of this debate. Bernie and Biden need to come together to project Democratic unity and competence. They need to articulate a plan of action that's based in science and describe how the medical system in this country should change.

This is not the debate for intra-partisan sniping.

Is Biden all for a socialized medical system?
How will he get together with Bernie on this?

I somehow suspect that Biden does not even read DCUM, so even though the peanut gallery here has decided, I doubt that makes any difference whatsoever.

Science says, don't do whatever China, Italy, Spain, France, the UK have been doing in healthcare.

I think if anything this crisis is showing why we don't want the whole medical system tied up in the government. If you get rid of my private insurance, then we have another Trump like president get elected, I certainly don't feel confident that I am going to get better care than I do now.

We OBVIOUSLY need more access to medicine available to more people. I do NOT want someone like Trump deciding what care I get, when. It's not always going to be the person you like in the WH, and we need systems in place that account for bad leadership in addition to good.

The whole point of science is to learn from facts, not from ideology.
