Yeah, a piece of me is concerned that if Biden drops out now, Kamala will have to start campaigning “from scratch”, which is a setback.
But the way things are now, it’s probably best if we just rip the Biden band-aid off now and do a Democrat party campaign reset. And the sooner the better. Kamala needs as much time to make up for Biden’s blunders as possible.
Also, honestly, the mistake that put us in this position happened in 2020. Biden never should have run for his first term. Because where we find ourselves now is the inevitable result of him having won his first term in 2020.
God. Kamala is under 60. What a breath of fresh air that would be.
It was absolutely good that Biden run in 2020. His familiarity with the office allowed him to run the country from day 1 (remember how trump was blocking handover and didn’t help with transition of power?)
Biden doing foreign policy for Obama helped him tremendously with repairing all the relationships (he personally knew most of the politicians) that trump damaged and restoring NATO. Putin started invasion, because he was doubting that Biden will be able to bring NATO together in time (the invasion happened in February 2022, but or intelligence disclosed that they observed preparations as early as April 2021)
I don’t think anyone else from the 20 candidates we had in 2020 was capable of pulling this. Not because I don’t think they would be bad presidents, but because they would need time to ramp up
Biden running in 2020 was a good decision. But he shouldve stepped down after like he promised. Whoever came next would have the legitimacy afforded by a proper primary, instead of being a crapshoot as swapping in Harris this late would be

The real problem with Biden isn’t the blunders he has committed so far, but the blunders he’s yet going to commit.
AFAIK they are referring to her prior job as Attorney General of California, literally working with the police, people seem to equate it to her being a cop herself.
I’m 100% sure your personal outrage and principles are the keys to 2024. Just squint super hard, focus on your very narrow perspective and ignore the bigger picture. That’s the ticket! What could possibly go wrong?

If it’s Kamala, she legally can keep/use all the campaign cash raised for Biden’s re-election too since her name is on the ticket Biden/Harris 2024.
Black woman? Suuure, Americans will certainly flock to her
Obamas first term election result was pretty strong from what i remember
back then it was still cool to pretend like you’re not racist the rise of Trump made it cool to openly hate hombres from shithole countries again
The real problem with Biden isn’t the blunders he has committed so far, but the blunders he’s yet going to commit.
Yep. Let’s do that instead of focusing on the fascists winning.
He’s not going to drop out. Nobody voluntarily gives up that much power.
lol I’d sooner vote for neolib Biden than for that neolib pig Kamala 😂
you really had to add ‘pig’?
stay classy lemmy

oh yes I did not enjoy her prosecutorial work either but unusual nickname for a lawyer. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt
I appreciate it. Yes, it’s because ACAB. She’s convicted 1.9k people over weed.
She’s is a cop supporter.
You will get absolutely what you deserve in 2024.
All I am saying is fuck the cop. The Democratic Party is getting what it deserves for everything it did to get to where it is today.
Yeah! You show 'em!
I’m 100% sure your personal outrage and principles are the keys to 2024. Just squint super hard, focus on your very narrow perspective and ignore the bigger picture. That’s the ticket! What could possibly go wrong?
Well how can I argue with that eloquence? I will now vote for Kamala instead of Biden! Democracy prevails! You did it!
Okay, but my trans ass doesn’t deserve to be killed by fascists, so I dont really give a shit rn frankly
Cool beans, I hope trump isn’t voted for then for your sake. Not sure why me saying I prefer biden over kamala makes a difference right now to you.
Because what you are saying is still making that more likely. The right are gonna fall in line, we NEED to be able to do the same
Okay cool beans I guess I like Kamala more, I’m voting for her now instead of Biden thanks for the help!
You’d be voting for her in either case…
