Yeah if we had somebody who was a consensus candidate sort of waiting in the wings, I would push harder. But we don’t. And as the article says, leapfrogging over Harris would be a terrible look.
This is the problem with the Dems. Worried about giving people “their turn” or whatever. That’s why Hillary got the nomination and why we will be stuck with Kamala. We are handing Trump the presidency on a silver platter. Running an incoherent 81 year old man with a VP nobody likes because he’s the incumbent. Jesus Christ we are doomed.
It’s not about “it’s their turn,” it’s that if she isn’t fit to be president then why is she fit to be vice president? Skipping over her creates even more messaging issues and such.
Unfortunately the presidential election is largely a popularity contest. Optics are incredibly important. And the optics on just kind of pretending she’s not there are terrible.
Being fit to be president and being a candidate with a good chance to win are very different things.
Right now, the Democrats need a candidate that can win. If this isn't their top priority, then how can anyone take seriously their claim that Trump threatens democracy itself. They have to pick a candidate that people really want
Yeah, imagine the message it would send. "We're willing to admit when we make a mistake and we listen to party membership."
Completely off brand for the Democratic Party.
