And, Kamala at the top of the ticket will also drive up turnout among piece of shit white male voters who are racist and misogynist (so, the Trump base). If their turnout increases even 1-2%, then that may be enough to seal the deal.

And ditching Biden for a younger candidate can increase youth and minority turnout. We know you’ll find an issue with every candidate and tell us how MAGA will increase turnout bc it’s a woman/gay/Jew/minority, Eeyore

1968 called.

They want their presidential race back.

Assassination attempt?

A Republican candidate for Pres that lost their previous races?

An incumbent drops out.

A brokered Democratic convention in Chicago?!

The simulation is getting lazy.

no doubt she's a fantastic orator and debater, one of the best in a long while, but we knew that from her primary run in 2020. Maybe its PTSD from HRC and post-Obama backlash, but god I hope we don't run into a racist/sexist anti-Harris buzz saw (among suburban white women and others) in swing states. The number of women who might vote for a man (Dem) but will simply say a woman (per se) isn't qualified to be POTUS might shock us all.

But if she's POTUS already? That's why Biden should just step down. Make her POTUS so it's not a foreign concept to have a woman president.

that's the bet, let's hope it works out. just because I'm not super concerned and worried about asshat white women doesn't mean I'm not game. let's go.

At this point, the campaign on the Dem side needs a big shot of excitement and enthusiasm. This is the chance.

Also, just like there will be a lot of silent dem votes from women because of the abortion issue, there will now be a lot of silent trump votes because of race.

This is what I’ve been saying. There are anti-Trump voters that have come out willing to vote Biden. I think Harris makes those same people stay home.

So now they’re going with “don’t be so sure she wants the nomination?”

There's a legitimate argument to be made that Kamala Harris is a net negative in the blue wall states as things currently stand, and her success would rest on getting a decisive victory among those currently undecided/considering not voting/parking protest votes with West or Stein, and that doing so as a quasi-incumbent would be difficult.

Her odds are still long, but there's at least upside. It is really hard to imagine undecides breaking for Biden in a meaningful way at this point.

Halperin is not a rando but he went from mainstream news to Newsmax. So take that with a grain of salt

Not resigning and not endorsing isn’t ideal imo.  Have to look like a well oiled machine. This already looks like chaos.  An open convention will further that.

Biden should absolutely not resign though. It is dumb to even float that.

Agreed. What’s the point of a vice president then? 

If Harris is stepped over, we lose. Either keep Biden or hand it to Harris.

Personally - I think we lose with anyone other than Biden.

well there's your open air, brokered convention for everyone to see. it's like the neighbors who fight with their windows open and everyone hears and they act like nothing happened. jesus fucking christ.

Yeah, this is going to be like the West Wing, with Obama trying to play Bartlet trying to get the candidates to be adults with a nomination up for grabs.  Good luck, but maybe he'll be able to convince them that once mud starts getting slung, the nomination will be meaningless.

Obama and Bill need to play elder statesman and get everyone on board with Harris. A month is not long enough for an open convention. Dem warfare. Dems in disarray. Every chuckle fuck will throw their name in

Not endorsing his own vice president would be completely shitty. The only good thing that comes out of that is if Whitmer, Newsom, and any other options all throw their support behind her and say they will not seek the nomination.

I think we vastly downplay the anti-trump vote causing undecideds to vote Biden. When push comes to shove the net negative for trump will carry the day for many. Will those same moderates vote for Harris, I honestly don't know. What we do know is black women carried HRC and suburban white women ate HRC alive. I would expect that to hold true for Harris as well.

I tend to think the vast majority of those voters are voting blue no matter who. By definition, the anti-Trump vote is driven by...Trump, not the other guy/gal.

Some, primarily men, will likely break off due to race and/or gender. I doubt you ultimately see a major white woman defection. This is a very different country for women than it was 8 years ago, as youl obviously well know, and the electorate has changed. The entire 18-25 cohort couldn't even vote in 2016. Most under 30's couldn't or didn't. Millions of older voters have died since then. Less white, on balance. There has not been a decades-long coordinated right wing media onslaught building hatred of Kamala Harris nationally like there was for Hillary Clinton.

consider this my official exploratory committee effort...

would you assholes consider voting for me?

Yep. Even Biden isn’t dumb enough to completely piss off the most reliable voting bloc of your party by not endorsing your female black VP. Black women will love that!

Fucking a.

A mini primary or whatever the fuck is the absolute worst idea possible. If it isn’t Joe then it needs to be Kamala. Anything else has a zero percent chance of winning the election.

That seems like a major investment in improving the place.

Giving Louisiana a chunk of East Texas that includes College Station probably improves the intelligence of both states.

There is zero chance, less than zero, that Biden would refuse to endorse his VP if he’s stepping aside. What an insanely stupid thing to say.

I mean, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding.  

Obama won in 2008 against a goddamned war hero.  He won again against a very generic Republican.  And both times, he won pretty handily.

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 despite (1) having the distinct handicap of being Hillary Clinton, which is to say a person against whom a GOP rage machine had been pointed for the previous quarter-century (into which, it must be said, she played perfectly), (2) running a spectacularly bad campaign which saw her completely ignore the three states that everyone knew to be the tipping-point states in the EC, and (3) having Jim Comey announce the reopening of an FBI investigation without any real justification and in contravention of Bureau guidelines just ten days before election day.

I'm not saying there aren't racists and misogynists in America.  But I am saying that there's strong evidence that they aren't an electoral majority.
