To be fair, you have terrible ideas and share a significant portion of the responsibility for the failures of your former party, including Trump. 

I was never a member of the Republican Party, never voted straight-ticket, never donated to the RNC or RPT.  Did far more to beat Trump than you and your ten closest associates ever did.  Been probably a 33/33/33 voter between L/R/D most of my adult life.  Been appointed to multiple commissions by Democratic elected officials.  I don't get to live in la-la land and pretend that more ugliness is not just yearning for a reason to come back out to the polls to vote against a woman or person of color this cycle.  It's a fool's errand, and this isn't the year to run that errand.  But you put your yardsign, do your blockwalking, and get out your bumper sticker and let bad people  try to get to Mar-a-Lago's food supplier.

Look - all this bullshit about Kamala Harris can't win because black/women is loser talk, and wrong besides. Hillary Clinton tried to sell the idea that she was the only choice in 08  because the alternative was a black man named Hussein. But, it turned out that the black guy named Hussein was just really gifted when it came to talking to white people in Iowa and Florida. And it turned out Hillary couldn't win any of them, or Michigan, Ohio, PA or Wisconsin.  
I think it was @hayden_horn who told a story in 2008 about some cracker in Georgia saying that he was going to "vote for the n----r" because he thought America needed to change. Low-intensity racists and sexists are perfectly happy voting for a black person or a woman on an individual basis when it suits them. It's the political version of "some of my best friends.". They just don't want to be punished for it. That's the genius of Obama. He understood working class, rural whites better than most people on this board, and he knew how to get their votes without trying to convert their biases. But for those of you who disagree with me, take a moment and think about whether the people we are talking about - the small number of persuadable independents or libertarians or maybe traditional Republicans who can't stand Trump would hesitate for a second to vote for Tim Scott or Nikki Haley. 

Kamala Harris can win, if
1) the window of the campaign is short enough to keep her out of harms way and 
2) the optics are crafted in such as way as to make her the hero in the story

If they have mini primary (even just kayfabe) she comes out of the process with an extremely strong hand and a good chance of winning, despite not being a good candidate under normal circumstances. If he resigns and she takes office and lays out a bold agenda, that's probably the cleanest path with the best optics, even though it enlarges the attack surface.  On the other hand, it Biden stays in office but simply anoints her as the nominee without an open process, she seems like a sitting duck and her chances aren't as good. 

Under normal circumstances Pete or Whitmer or even Gavin Newsome would be a better choice, because Harris is so deeply flawed. But so much of politics is about positioning and I just don't see any real route for anyone else to be the nominee if it's not to be Biden.  I'd roll with Harris.

Democrats have always been terrible with messaging 

Donald Trump is convicted felon, rapist, racist, extreme narcissist, stupid, an idiotic braggart, habitual liar, ruined America's streak for peaceful transfers of power, weakens our allies and admires our enemies, has the worst fucking kids, oh and is an ugly orange stained loser with weird fucking hair. But the prevailing narrative for this election is Joe Biden is old. Now alot of that is because our corporate media oligarchs keep repeating that point to the public and treat Trump as if he was a legitimate candidate.

Democrats, including Joe himself, have hammered this, over, and over, and over again, for months, including after the convictions. Same with abortion, and Project 2025, and trump's distain for the military and veterans, and his love for Putin and Kim Jong. Over, and over, and over again it's been said. The polls barely move. The people who need to be convinced simply don't give a shit. Maybe in October? It's just abundantly clear that this election isn't about electing Biden (or whatever person you all think should replace him), it's about keeping a traitor out of office, and that doesn't seem to be enough for some reason. If people are still on the fence now, they aren't going to change their mind based on whose at the top of the ticket. If they think Biden is too old or in cognitive decline and that trump is therefore the same or better, they can't be helped.

What is the current perception of San Francisco right now with middle America? Gavin's hometown is thought to be a shithole filled with crime, drugs, and rampant homelessness. It's very easy to plaster than over and over and have it be an effective strategy.  

Yeah, we know how any candidate from California or New York would be attacked. There isn’t a Dem candidate who won’t be painted as a radical left extremist who’s soft on crime and wants open borders, etc. Muslim-Americans make up a significant constituency for Gretchen Whitmer. She’d be painted as pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. She’d be accused of trying to kill the auto industry because of her support of EVs. It’s easy to write Trumpian campaign ads. Unless there’s a candidate who wouldn’t be trashed by them, I don’t see the point.

Four years ago, the 78-year-old guy had trouble navigating a ramp, drinking a glass of water, had to undergo cognitive tests.

Again, why do we ignore that asshole's infirmities and how he's declined since then?

Biden had a horrible night on one stage, while Trump had numerous brain glitches over the past few months at his rallies aside from his insane ramblings like confusing Haley for Pelosi and Obama for Biden.

Has everyone forgotten this speech: "We are a nation that just recently heard that Saudi Arabia and Russia...ooh... aah." The press would call for Biden to step down if he glitched like this quick clip. Why haven't they with Trump?

https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5108747/user-clip-half-minute-sentence

Even the majority of posters in this thread, which are overwhelmingly against Trump, seem to have forgotten that Trump has been showing signs of slipping.

*****

Here are my unsolicited opinions:

I'm not comfortable with an 80-year-old in the White House, whether that's Trump or Biden.

Biden's speech impediment seems to have worsened, and he mumbles more. The timbre of his voice also sounds like he's losing his hearing, which might explain some of the mumbling. These issues are on top of the fact that I feel like he's never been a good orator. While those are terrible qualities in a candidate whose primary job is communication, they don't necessarily translate to bad decision-making (aided by advisors) while occupying the office, which matters most as president.

Aside from all of that, Biden had a hectic international travel schedule in June, followed by week-long intense preparations for the debate. He may well have simply been showing signs of mental/physical exhaustion while on cold meds when he was up on that stage.

I can't yet determine his "fitness" for the job to my own satisfaction, as we don't have too many data points of Biden performing that badly on camera. He seemed fine during his speech in Normandy at the beginning of June. I think a lot depends on how the interview goes in a couple of days, focusing on coherence and intelligibility. In other words, I'll pay attention to what he says as much as how he says it to discern whether it's speech-related communication or brain-related cognition.

If it goes poorly, I'm mentally preparing for him to step aside for Harris or whomever. I guess that also applies to that happening even if it does go well since there seems to be an air of inevitability about it right now. It's beyond sad that we've reached this point, but I'll wholeheartedly support anyone on the ticket.

Democracy over destruction.

Exactly people are naive, Ronnie could reanimate and they would call him a hollywood communist.

At the end of the day you have to be less afraid of flaws and more rewarding of strengths. Gavin is very smart, and quick on his feet, the anti biden but that has also flaws that he might looked as as slimy.

At the end of the day the biggest fault is getting dumped with all the neurotic whiners on one side both imagining and fabricating a perfect candidate in their heads, vs the cult on the other side that will never question Trump.

That is the real divide and humiliation not the left vs right.

Sometimes, when you do business in Texas and your regulators and the think-tanks that guide them, are Republicans as most are, you have to to rub elbows with them.  I don't shit where I eat.  I've maxed out donations to Eddie Rodriguez and a number of other state legislators and Travis County officials.  I have to earn a living, I don't have the luxury of considering every Republican in Texas to be an evil asshole from the GLO to the RRC to the Capitol.  I don't give 'em any money, but I do attend some of their events so I can bend their ear about what we might expect in the next cycle of of regulatory oversight.  Adulting is hard, I know.  I am baffled, honestly.  No matter where people align politically.  If you have a job and live in Austin, you just accidentally meet a dozen Republican officials or staffers just by going out to eat or a game or buy groceries.  You don't have to like them, but it's naive---given what they control in Texas---to not just ask some open ended questions and listen.  Doesn't make you pro-Trump, it just means you're a human being that recognizes that shitty people are just absolutely dying to tell you what they know.  They just need a few drinks and somebody to hear them out.

If what you say is true....none of that will actually happen, and Donald Trump is going to waltz into the White House.

Personally, I think he's going to waltz in because A) Operation "PANIC AND REPLACE BIDEN RIGHT NOW!" won't work, Kamala loses, and loses big, and B) enough of y'all have decided "we're abandoning Joe!" that he's no longer got a chance either.  The fucking absurdly over-the-top negative reaction of all the nancies on the left, including you, has done us in.  Honestly, it doesn't matter what we do from here on out.

If enough people decided based on the debate, then you're right.  There's no going back.  There's also no going forward that's a high-percentage play with any chance of working. 

You've decide that we're down by 2 goals with two minutes left.  And you're arguing about the statistical analysis that shows that pulling the goalie is our only chance of winning.  No, what you're arguing is that your calculation is that pulling the goalie gives us a 1 in 100 chance to win, whereas not pulling the goalie gives us a 1 in 120 chance to win.

Either way, the game is lost.  It's over.  If what you say is true -- that the impact of the debate performance was that catastrophic -- then it doesn't matter.  You'd be better off focusing your efforts on figuring out your escape plan from this country, and right soon.

The next time Biden stumbles it will be magnified. I don't see why some of you want to put your heads in the sand on that. It's not the panic that's getting us to this point. It's that Biden's weakness was put on display for all to see. The biggest issue he had with undecided voters was made painfully more obvious.

Man, this thread is moving at warp speed.  I was about to reply to a couple things and realized that we had added three pages since those posts.  

Anyway, just a couple random observations that have likely been covered in the interim:

1). I think name recognition might be a negative thing these days.  It just means that right-wing propagandists have already had a nice long time to fertilize the minds of their base with a narrative.  They do a great job of identifying potential opponents and prosecuting them in the eyes of the public with highly consistent and highly coordinated messaging.  If Harris or Newsom is the nominee, the right (and by "right," I'm including an army of Russian trolls) has got a box of memes ready to go right at hour zero, and those memes are gonna reinforce their own years-long messages.  

For some potential candidates (Harris, Newsom), the GOP is going to land haymakers right from hour zero.  

2). Any woman can be president as long as she's deemed likable by other women.  That's the rule.  

Women love Oprah.  They love Michelle Obama.  They don't like women who seem the *slightest* bit condescending (Marcia Clark, Hilary Clinton), and those women are likely to lose.  I'm afraid Kamala may be in the latter camp. 

Anyone who's ever watched a female nurse taking orders from a female physician understands the dynamic.

Yeah, I just don't think this is true at all.  50 million watched the debate.  Those people didn't need pundits to tell them that Biden looked like he wandered off from a memory unit.  There's maybe 0.1% of that watching mid-day hand-wringing on MSNBC.

Again I was here I looked at the results a day after the debate it was a push, hell Obama lost the debate against Romney way harder.

It was the panic, it was you people that thought you could magically insert your candidate in without ANY understanding how infeasable it was, that is what has killed polling.

I think the women of America want two things: 1) their right to control their own bodies, and 2) someone who can make Trump look stupid in a debate.

That's the fucking story. It's common knowledge. I don't see how the Dems can devise some slick presentation to open vother eyes to the sun shining down on them. 

I don't think the majority of the media don't bend the knee to corporate masters, but I profoundly agree with your post. I can't watch the news coverage or analysis for the very situation you describe. That's the story they should be able to cover, but they cannot break their habits of covering the same story over and over again because it is comfortable and expected. 

The piece by Medhi up above is a rare vision with clear eyes seeing this election is about the fate of the republic. Not some fate over policy but an existential fate. 

I came to post this:

image.png.9ca10c2344d8a2aaa3bd8ec9c3ae2131.png

The Atlantic website is stuck in the old paradigm. The presidential election is like a horse race because you keep looking at the polls to see who is ahead. That's what they report on: that sweet inside story that makes the reporters feel like they're really deep. They all read this book:

image.png.7619c470e29419ca77716379484e0526.png

And they want to feel like Joe McGinniss by not doing as he did: digging up a real story. The new guys avoid digging up anything and simply retell his story. 

It liklely wouldn't matter much if they did do the real story in the real words about the death of the republic, but they could sleep at night. Who am I kidding? They all sleep fine.

Willingness to cause violence is what it will boil down to. I don't think the soft, delusional average American has it in him. I'm not delusional, but I'm at an age when just riding it out sounds better than standing up.

Correct.  A Harris/Kelly ticket, for example, would win.  

I'm not sure where the notion she can't win PA, MI, and WI came from.  Republicans have basically lost everything there since Dobbs.  Harris might also help with turnout in the cities.

What did you see? Not being argumentative btw. 
What I saw was 10 mins of what the fuck is this guy trying to say. And it was concerning. After that I saw Joe Biden being old. And it was softer in tone than he has been.
I didn’t see a guy who was senile or didn’t have a grasp of what was going on. I didn’t see a guy who had no understanding of what the issues are. I also saw him go after Donald pretty effectively once he got off of talking point and started winging it.
Basically my point is a I saw an old guy, not a mentally incapacitated one. 
Not to be crass but I don’t really care if he’s old and dies in office so long as he’s alive long enough to win. Nothing before, during, or after the debate makes me think he’s on the verge of death.

Why the fuck do you people think I am gaslighting you? Biden is too old to be president I have said it since 2020, the argument is that I think it is fucking irrelevant I vote for a coaching staff not a Deon Sanders. And even then I don't care I just want to win the election even if bobo the dog becomes president.

The only question is which candidate is better for the country in the role of president. The choice between these two men is the easiest in any election ever. It's crazy.

Your first paragraph is exactly what I see.

Fucking this.  The panic from the very people who should have stood strong is what's doing/has done the damage.  Again, you arrogant asses....you've killed US.

“you people”

 

the one’s with eyes?

Biden walked out and looked like a corpse, with a whisper voice. he couldn’t put together a coherent thought most of the night. Don’t gaslight us. 

Thats just not accurate. He had a whisper voice, and said afterward he had a sore throat.

He had some meandering answers early but he had plenty of strong moments on issues. Hell they covered NATO like 3 separate times in the debate and Joe was excellent in all those exchanges.

The polls immediately after were fine

No they weren’t. They were a little worse and needed to get a lot better. And they will get worse because people confirmed to each other what they saw because they saw it. The moon landing was real, Jan 6 was an insurrection, and Joe Biden seemed incapable of carrying out the office. That’s not a chattering class narrative or media conspiracy.

You've decide that we're down by 2 goals with two minutes left.  And you're arguing about the statistical analysis that shows that pulling the goalie is our only chance of winning.

We were and it is. Biden has been behind and this debate was one of his only chances to change the direction of the numbers and he pushed it the wrong way. Let’s do that statistical analysis.

 

51mm people watched the debate. Let’s say they follow the national polling average from before the debate. That’s 20 each for Biden and Trump, and about 11 are Kennedy/Undecided/other. 
 

Biden is won 6 battleground states-AZ, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pa, Nevada, & Georgia by a total of around 300k votes. 6% of the  population of those states is persuadable. If Joe Biden lost nothing and Donald Trump picked up only 100k votes total, just from the 11mm Kennedy/other, just in Arizona, Winsonsin, Nevada and Georgia, he wins. If he picks only 1%, it’s 300 electoral votes. 5 percent and it’s a landslide. That’s not a conspiracy of bedwetters. 
Biden is toast I didn’t just fall out of the coconut tree.

People need to shut the fuck up the only miracle avenue is Biden quitting, its too late, the primaries was your shot that was the only chance to change horses, and fucking A he probably still wins them today. 

Volunteer, that is it that is your only move not whining and complaining. The minute there is an avenue (aka he fucking quits) is the minute you can even begin thinking of alternatives.

GOTV tell the people sob stories as how you knew he is senile, but Trump will kill us all so you are voting for Biden. That is it GOTV is our only shot.

Kamala seems like the only practical replacement, and I don’t think she wins PA, MI, and WI. 

She just needs to campaign there. I was assured that Hillary lost because she didn’t do that.

As much as we hate Harris for being bad at politics, black women vote and they love her.  They also move the needle in states like GA, PA, MI, and WI.

I would worry about how she would do with the old school (white guy) Dems I those states
