    I dont want her to be president.

    But she’s the only one the DNC will let run. And she can actually beat Trump in the general.

    Unfortunately Biden and his supporters are willing to let trump win than someone besides Joe. Even though Kamala is going to do all the shitty neo liberal shit they want, and probably pull the same no primary shit in 2028 if she wins this election.

      I think anyone below the age of 70, with the blessing of the DNC, can win. Trump is a weak candidate who only really appeals to angry dumb people and guys with bags of money.

        Yep

        Moderates want to act like he’s some great politician that’s unbeatable except for checks notes two of the most unpopular Dem candidates to ever run for president?

        The last 8 years has felt like a mashup of Groundhogs Day and Brewster’s Millions.

        But for whatever reason, at least on here some people seem to have fully fallen for it

      I’m pessimistic and hope I’m wrong, but I think we might be underestimating the pull of racism/sexism that still exists.

      I feel like if we put Kamala at the top of the ticket, she’d need a really strong and ‘traditional’ running mate. Like, this guys got to be the straightest, whitest and richest guy you’ve ever seen. I kinda feel like they’ve been exploring that with a lot of top democratic people meeting with Biden lately.
