    CNN is a fucking joke. They literally want the Dems to crash and burn, so take any of their “advice and opinion” with a few metric tons of salt.

      The only color that matters is blue. I will never vote a cop for president.

          You do you, but I will write in Jill Stine first. Dems are only my first pick if their pick is viable. Putting up a Cop in the current climate is asking to lose.

          Only Republicans can promote LE and expect them to win right now.

              Keep pumping unviable candidates it will be 2016 all over again. Clinton couldn’t have won a bake off. Kamala is Clinton with lead weights.

                Dems are only my first pick if their pick is viable.

                You’re saying here that you either wouldn’t vote, vote independent or vote for Trump.

                Which one of these Trump-helping options is it?

                  I mean what I said. My first pick is dem provided they present a viable candidate.

        Popular vote dont get you shit here.

        She lost the race in swing states where “independents” choose the winner. If she had been “John Clinton,” with every single bit of the politcal baggage and none of the sexist baggage, I guarantee she would have cleared that 80k vote hurdle in those 3 states.

    Kamala Harris cannot win. I hate Trump, but Kamala Harris won’t win against Trump and shouldn’t even be Biden’s VP pick in the first place.

    Oh please no. Not more establishment bullshit.

    Find somebody young and energetic to bring some fresh ideas and new energy. A young Bernie Sanders type. They will mop the floor with Trump.

        AOC, Michelle Obama, Elizabeth Warren, or Jill Stein.

        Kamala Harris is unelectable. She is a black female cop. The left won’t vote for a cop and the right won’t vote for a black woman. Who do you think is in her corner other than DNC mouth pieces? She was a threefer for Biden and that’s it.

          The mere suggestion of Jill Stein clearly demonstrates that you do not have the slightest idea of what you are talking about. Holy crap.

          Aoc can’t run until next election, Michelle Obama has zero interest in being president (didn’t even want to be first lady), Elizabeth Warren isn’t much younger than trump and Biden (and a lot of moderates still won’t vote for a woman, see: Hillary Clinton), and Jill Stein is just as old too and part of the green party which isn’t going to even have a chance at winning a presidential election until there is no climate left to change unfortunately

    So is this the new Russian disinformation strategy? We loved on from Genocide Joe to let’s switch out. Iden?

    Not going to happen, and I doubt any other candidate could do better at this point of the election cycle.

    I already see our local Russian trolls spouting this bullshit.

      RN, Biden is still the best odds at beating Trump by the sheer fact that he’s the incumbent. Why do you think all of the rightmost Dems and the Russian shills are hopping aboard the replacement train? Because they want Trump to win.

          I mean, in a vacuum, there’s lots of people who I’d like to be running for president as the DNC candidate instead of Biden. However, I’m not advocating for that right now, because I think it would be a tactical mistake.

          Edit: on that note, there’s also a whole lot of people who I’d want to run as the GOP candidate instead of Trump as well. One of them is Biden. 😂

            Yeah OK, I respect the position that it could be a tactical mistake. But people suggesting that it might not be are not automatically Russian shills. Maybe cool the reactionary rhetoric

              Your tactical mistake leads to existential problems for some of us. As a gay man, Trump and the GOP winning this election is threat to my life and the lives of my brothers and sisters. Go ahead and say I’m being alarmist but everyone said the same thing about Roe vs Wade being overturned.

                you’re making a very large strawman. Suggesting that a different strategy for the Dems might be more effective is not in any way suggesting that electing Trump is a good idea.

              You confused the statement with its converse.

              “If you are X, then you’ll hop aboard the Biden replacement train”

              does not imply

              “If you hop aboard the Biden replacement train, then you are X”

              Understand? This is a common error and is known as “affirming the consequent”. I never made the statement that you assumed I had.

    WHAT PART DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND: There’s no changing the nominee at this point because they can’t be put on the ballots in multiple states. Stop the bullshit.

    The only reason this is even a question is that liberals are willing to consider the age problem; with Trump you have the age problem, the fascism problem (proj 2025), the insanity problem (shark batteries), the sex offender problem, and so, so, so many others.

    Get it together.

    Biden should straight up resign and hand over power to Kamala now. That would short circuit the nomination process and completely undercut any argument that she’s not up for the job if it’s no longer hypothetical and she’s actually just rocking it IRL.
