Yeah I do. I think the gay military veteran who had an extremely successful private sector career and one of the best performing cabinet positions in the last few decades should be front and center. 

He started off rough cuz he took pat leave almost immediately, but since has been incredibly effective and successful. He's the most dangerous kind of person, he's COMPETENT. 

Extremely successful private sector career? Didn’t he spend like 2.5 years a McKinsey before jumping ship to the public sector? Not that I disagree with your overall point. He needs to be a heavy hitter on the campaign trail.

A hard-core Dem friend suggested a wild idea for VP with Kamala — Adam Kinzinger. Won’t happen but that would be something. I actually like him.

I can fap to that.

Quote

Joe Biden has now endorsed and fully supports his “Borders Czar” Kamala Harris to be the Democrat candidate for president.

Bingo. And also a massive indictment of the American electorate, which votes for style over substance. 

And the basis for my ragey post the other day. The possible administrations the next 4 years in rank order: Biden/harris, Harris/?? and then dead last not effective awful Trump/Vance.  It’s antithetical to me to voluntarily reject the best for the second best but it’s what we had to do.

The presidential election has everthing:

Attempted assassination, incumbent quitting, challenger trying to pull a Grover  Cleveland, black woman nominee, and a wide open party  convention for vp.

All we need are another pandemic and some riots and we can check all the boxes.

Yeah it’s like the lawyers that work at a big firm for 2 years then punt but lean on that experience. Man you’re barely above a typist and note taker at year two at the best consulting and law firms, etc.

She's not facing the incumbent. Kerry was easy to dispatch. She also needs to kill off her dumb catchphrase. It's not as bad as "Help Is ON THE WAY" but still.

Can she win? That’s all I care about. Trump has to be defeated at all costs.

No, results that are tangible and irrefutably making people's day to day better are pretty good though.

I think everyone is forgetting about the best possible VP choice for Kamela. It’s someone who has been a Washington insider, who has deep political experience, and has tremendous foreign policy experience. That VP candidate? Joe Biden.

I’m starting to think the delay in his withdrawing was mostly to get a broad consensus to commit to backing Harris publicly as soon as he announced 

probably told those hesitant to commit that he would just stay in if they didn’t

That fucker only cares about chaos. It's now the standard operation procedure for CNN. Stop giving them your views.

I predict we are going to see Dark Brandon re-emerge as a campaigner and everyone's gonna be all "where was this Joe Biden in June/July!?!?!" and the media is gonna be hawk tuah'ng Joseph Robinette Biden and I'll be "uh, he was there all along y'all just didn't want to see it because he's old."

But it's undeniable that Kamala's candidacy will reinvigorate the electorate to defeat MAGA.

We’ve already had a few major ones. Biden first, chair of CPC, now the Clintons, there will be a drumbeat of endorsements. Dems may actually be doing this right.

I'm loving the pearl-clutching.  I'm on record as saying I don't think Kamala can win.  At this point, I don't think Joe can win.  Kamala is the better (best) choice.  Dems need to get behind her candidacy, tell the Republicans to fuck off with their hysteria about the primaries, first-call put her at the top of the ticket with Shapiro as veep, and then GET OUT ON THE ROAD AND THE AIRWAVES AND HAMMER THE SHIT OUT OF;

-- Roe V Wade

-- Project 2025

-- the economy and the stock market

-- Trump's convictions

-- Trump's ongoing legal issues

 

Let's.  Fucking.  Go.  Do your job for once.

At least Democrats have something to be excited about now.

These. Make no mistake it's still a long shot. In the short term it likely damages Democrats standing in the EC because she won't poll as well with seniors and whites in the midwest as Biden. It's on Democrats to now win decisively among undecides and get young voters back in the fold. It's an uphill battle but at least there's a battle to fight. Biden was mortally wounded.

Lotta dumbfuck voters gonna vote for Trump because they dont/wont want a woman in the white house as prez

She's absolutely going to pay a proverbial tax as a black woman. She also opens doors that Biden clearly wasn't going to. You have to take the upside in this scenario.

No. Pete is impressive but need someone with executive governing experience and ties to a relatively important state. One of the governors is the play.

It will be Harris it has to be Harris there is no better time to put a woman at the lead of the ticket than now.

the victory lap for Biden will be so much better than the drumbeat of age.

Harris will fuck trump’s shit up on the trail. Grab Shapiro and secure the blue wall and call it a day.

not sure about governing I’m worried about that - gravely. But it is what it is.

dems and Biden fucked up a lot of this from 3.5 years ago until yesterday, but today a good decision was made based on where it all stands.

let’s fucking go.

Governing will be fine if Harris wins. I imagine a lot of the rank and file Biden staff will remain in place. If there's a pick I trust her specifically to make it's a Merrick Garland replacement.

And it's less worrying than a Turmp admin.
