I was going to zip my lip until Biden stepped aside; but it’s pretty clear it’s about to happen (at this point he’s just sadly clutching for straws and fighting it until the bitter end…)
So the decided inaction to not IMMEDIATELY FORCE him out (and don’t tell me he can’t be; a group can threaten to walk out to Independent…), my read on the foot dragging and evident running out of the clock for the chance to have an Open Convention by Dem Congress members is that we are witnessing a rigging for Harris so that the DNC can keep their deals intact with Biden/Harris through Harris. A new slate would upend them (not that I care; I just want a candidate that won’t result in a dictator! -and if you run Harris, you won’t be getting that…)
How can you watch this series of HORRIBLE messaging by her and actually believe she would be received well by no-nonsense people??
The Repubs haven’t even begun to put her kaka out there yet with saturation media advertising! What’s your counter plan for that? Just say they’re racist??
Are we now going to have a meaningless “vote of conscience”?
“We know she will not pull off an electoral win, but hey: she SHOULD!” So we’ll be there after we are presiding over a Trump plane wreck to go: “See? Shoulda’ gone with Harris!”
There will be nothing left after another Trump term.
Let her pitch at the Convention; if she wins a first-round non-binding anonymous vote (link), I’ll say vote for her. And the only way she could pull that off is if her speaking style were to be instantly possessed by the spirit of MLK -NOT going to happen! Even if she were to go off and train to do that, the fact that it’s not normally the way she communicates, it would be perceived as a phony move. The time for her to change her communication style was three years ago!
