I'm just not at all sure that some other Democrat would do better than Biden in the election. It seems like you'd need someone with sufficient name recognition for the lower info voters. And it's kinda too late to develop that at this point.

Right. Like Pete Buttigieg would be amazing to watch in a debate but no low level non-political nerd is going for that.
Also Trump would never debate Pete.

Can you imagine? Trump would get crushed. But Pete is gay, so booooooo

The names being thrown around as replacements for Biden proves Biden is the only choice. Even if he is extremely bad.

In polls this week, pretty much everyone polls better against Trump than Biden does. If they elevate Harris and bring in Whitmer as VP it would be a pretty good chance to win.

Hmmm, interesting. I haven't seen any of these polls, also I haven't seen any polls, also I don't understand politics. That being said, I find it hard to believe that there is any possible way Kamala Harris wins a presidential election.

Laura Kelly

the heroine we need

She's 74, have we learned nothing.

I genuinely thought she was like 64 ( or mid 60s) not 74. Not that it matters that much but 64 is practically a youngster in this.

Newsome would be good but being from California is probably too great a negative in our political climate
This is how I feel, although he does seem Iike the only person capable of not getting sucked down into the mud during a trump debate

Anyone that could stay awake would dominate Trump in a debate. You basically have to answer the question the best you can and then just wait for him to start spouting crazy crap and then just sit and smile. That's literally it. He will just keep saying more crazy crap and if you are still awake, you can just reply that he is saying crazy crap and that it isn't true. Next question!!! It still drives me nuts that everyone is still saying how Biden should drop out because he looked old. Did anyone not hear the crazy crap the convicted felon said?

And really all you need is the energy to get across "he took away roe v Wade and your rights" to women. The same for what he wants to do with all the project 2025 crap. The felony part, the January 6th part. There is so much material all you have to do is harp on the reasons trump can't be president and why you'd do better. Trump will as you said keep being crazy and do whatever and lie so you just got to beat the drum of sanity and the negatives of Trump's presidency. It ain't that hard.

I just thought many liberal democrats didn’t like her cause she was a cop.

She's not my first choice, but she's an improvement. Imagine you are filling a basic job, like gas station attendant or Walmart cashier. Trump and Biden would not be hirable, but Harris could at least possibly handle the job.

Iirc, Kamala was literally the first dem to drop out in the 2016 primaries. She couldn’t beat anyone else in that field. In top of that, she oozes cringe Hillary energy. You guys want that? That would be giving Trump as good of a free pass as you probably could, imo.

Need a celebrity who wants to play the role of reluctant politician. Tom Hanks maybe?

He's already a villain in the QANON mythology, correct?
Is QANON still a thing?

To be real, a lot of the Kamala support is good hearted ppl wanting to be an ally and not based on her politicking, imo.

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #224 on:** July 03, 2024, 11:33:09 AM »

I didn't really care for a lot of her mannerisms during the vp debate 4 years ago. I honestly don't know enough about her to have very strong opinions, though. I just get sick of hearing about how scary she is without getting any sort of response other than "she seems crazy." Like she isn't running against someone who just petitioned the court he appointed for presidential immunity and got it.
