It’s Kamala…

Yeah. What do you think this thread is. I’ve been sitting on this for days.

That letter was an endorsement of Harris?

There was another statement after that.

You're sitting on holy shit?

Better than unholy shit I'm sure.

In the thread about the debate, I suggested Biden sit and have a good think about if he's feeling up to another term, and make a decision. If that's what happened, well, if he's not up to it, he's not up to it. Better to acknowledge it than pretend otherwise.

Still, the time for this was BEFORE THE FUCKING PRIMARIES!

Anyway, now can we please just pick a Not Trump candidate we can all at least tolerate?

AOC is old enough now, can we get her? Probably best if she gives it another decade before running, but she might be able to pull it off.

Nah. No one is stupid enough to do that, this isn't the clown car that is the Republican party.

What will happen is a few of their supporters will do so on the internet, and those people will be amplified by rich people who want low taxes instead of democracy and foreign actors that want a free hand to invade, pillage and destroy overseas.

Yeah I was. And this!

Kamela is going to have the first shot at it, but it may very well end up not being her. Personally I think she's smart and credible and absolutely destroyed people in debates, but her adminstration was lacking, and she's going to need some incredible political operatives to get all her ducks lined up in a row. In the past at least, that was her least favorable quality - remember she was the first one to drop out of the 2020 democratic primaries due to lack of funding. If Biden (and Obama's) people line up behind her it will be OK. If they don't... then it probably won't be her.

This is actually reminding me quite a bit of the 1860 Republican convention where we got Lincoln. Lincoln wasn't the frontrunner going in, that was William Seward, a governor and current senator from New York. Next up was Salmon Chase, a former governor of Ohio. Lincoln wasn't even a seated politician when he showed up to the convention. Lincoln's team put Chase against Seward, then Seward against Chase, and finally came out as the winner on the 3rd vote as the compromise candidate.

Guess we'll see. But my guess is this isn't smooth sailing, and there's honestly several good candidates to my mind. Harris of course, but Whitmer, Buttigieg, Newsome, Kelly, and Shapiro all would serve with distinction.

And hell, I don't think there's a chance in hell AOC gets the nomination yet, she's too young. But it's not beyond reason that someone who needs progressive credentials to unify the party might offer her the VP role.

So do you have the ears of all the delegates? In a vice?

He’s used the opening by matthunter to shift the conversation to the female Secret Service agent, not Kamala. There, just saved a page worth of arguments at cross-purposes.

Just when you thought the racism and misogyny couldn’t get any uglier….

Here's a fun exercise:

Pick any sitting Democratic governor or senator at random. Google their name and the phrase "vice president," and see if you can find even one who hasn't had a veep-speculation article written about them.

Oh, and the "Kamala Harris for the People" sign that I've had in my garage for four years now just came out to the front yard.

Best idea for Harris’ VP that I’ve heard is Liz Cheney.

Her VP pick will be a straight white male, I bet.

Biden’s going to be really mad when he watches the news tonight and finds out he dropped out

Not exactly.

I honestly can't say.

Good, let’s hope so!

As my son says, at least he can focus more now on his ice cream.

Well now we can focus on Trump’s drooling non-sequitors! Right? Helllo….is this thing on?

Who?

One of my coworkers was speculating about Mitt Romney. Similar pluses, but more moderate and won't be trying to become president in eight years.

Plus Mitt is the only other person alive to defeat Trump in an election, specifically the 2012 primary.


But seriously, no

Kamala is a dud. Dems need Andy Beshear.

Yes please. I feel like I've been saying AOC 2024 for almost a decade.

Both would be smart tickets, and that's with me not caring for Cheney's policies.

Say what you will, Joe remained classy right until the very end.
