As far as I can tell, different faces, but same old, same old… I mean, literally anyone is better than Biden at the job, considering age…

What do dems worry about her?

    Mostly they’re afraid that swing voters won’t vote for a black woman, but are afraid of saying that out loud.

        For people on Lemmy, sure, but for mainstream Democrats? Nah. Don’t buy it.

          Well, that can also be said for those that consume MSM vs. those on social media and the internet.

          There are also groups that voted for Obama, then turned around and voted for Trump.

          Obama: Hope.

          Trump: Drain the swap.

          They might have learned to never trust a politician at face value.

        Are you even an actual Democrat who is conflicted about Kamala Harris as the nominee? Because those are the people I’m talking about.

            I didn’t ask any questions, and I didn’t say or intend to imply that all Democrats are conflicted. They’re clearly not. There have been a huge number of Democrats coming out strongly in favor of her. Why are you making up lies to defend your weird statement?

      I, for one, hope that she can energize the campaign, get women to the polls and cancel out any negatives.

      I willnlove to see her go against Trump in a debate, but I doubt “grab her by the pussy” Trump will even do one now since he knows he’d get steamroller.

        I suspect that with what Republicans and the Supreme Court have been doing lately independent women will show up for her in a way they didn’t for Hillary, so at least she has that going for her, but mostly I’m just hoping she doesn’t get any real challengers within the Democratic party. That could go very, very badly, and she is not guaranteed the nomination if it happens. So far so good, but there’s still plenty of time for things to go wrong.

      Wrong. Gimme a black woman to vote for and I’ll do it.

      I’m pissed because we pissed away the emcumbant advantage but what’s done is done, here’s hoping we get to celebrate the first female president instead of orange Hitler.

        Congratulations, you aren’t skeptical of Kamala Harris, and therefore aren’t the person I was talking about. Good for you, but you didn’t prove anything wrong.
