Clearly and obviously aging president who refused to step down for weeks suddenly does as soon as the party’s power brokers give a ton of implicit (and likely explicit threats).
replacement is unanimously and undemocratically decided by the party to be kamala harris, who presumably will draw the “black” vote which despite being such a racist assumption it defies even the most ridiculous caricatures of out of touch establishment dems, but is also quite ironically a literal cop who jailed more black people and did far more harm to african americans in california than any other prosecutor in history, and who herself barely identifies as black unless convenient.
oh and this same person also has historically polled worse than any other serious democrat candidate and worse than biden in his entire presidency against trump. and especially with the aforementioned minority group.
yea ok jlaw.gif. Lots of cope here in this thread the last week. I guess I’ll check in later when this farce is over and the real tyranny starts hitting comfortable folks here who have never had to struggle a day in their lives. I’d say at that point reach out to me if you actually want to do something and not fake bullshit like the skydiver establishment types, but I probably won’t respond.
So if no one else sticks their neck out and she’s the only one running I don’t see the argument the party picked her. The facts seem otherwise, she organically drew momentum-the voters representatives- elected party officials, delegates, potential opponents all jumped on the bandwagon very quickly.
It’s taken some time for Biden to step down, not just the past week. If you believe the call of places like the BBC, the decision wasn’t made official until Sunday morning and very quickly released, surprising many.
Kamala Harris is currently the presumptive nominee for the party. She worked very quickly to line up those votes. It still requires the actual of casting of votes at the convention, which is why she is merely the presumptive and not automatic nominee for the party.
It’s early, but the numbers suggest that, so far, she seems likely to do much better among minorities and the youth than Biden did. Even if she turns off some whites, those numbers may matter more. I’m not sure yet, but it’s within the range of possibilities that she convicted more people for marijuana while also jailing them less often for it. She also seems likely to have considered herself black when attending Howard University. Whether she polled worse in the past doesn’t matter for the present, where she seems, at worse, perfectly fine.
