People don't run against sittings VPs all the time. Also, you don't know if she will be a strong VP or not.

If Kamala is VP in 2024, there's no way that Newsom runs against her. Just stop it.

Is Kamala Gavin's mom?

Kamala is fine as a VP candidate but she's lacking as a top of the ticket.

People will run against her. Especially someone on the left of her.

You're wrong if you think there would be some coronation for her just because she is the VP.

It's extremely unlikely that the Democratic Party electorate will not easily nominate the Democratic VP especially if Biden is a decent president. Only if President Biden is deeply unpopular in 2024 will a VP Harris be in trouble of losing the nomination. Also, like I said earlier, Kamala is actually a progressive (contrary to what many Bernie supporters think).

Kamala would have to be a fukk up of epic proportions to face a primary in 2024, in the event that Biden is no longer president. The optics alone of the first female president (and second black president) getting primaried would be bad, I can't imagine DEMOCRAT operatives going through with it unless she was clearly going to lose. And even then it's suicide since a weakened/divided party would likely result in republicans winning.

I put democrat in all caps because I could definitely imagine a dumbass leftist challenge to her. Bernie floated the idea in 2012. But whereas Obama had complete control of the party, Kamala wouldn't. Obama was elected to be president, Kamala would have been elected as vice president. Different dynamic. And of course Obama is Obama, lol. Kamala won't have that same level of love with people, even though I do think she'll be popular as VP.

If her record as a prosecutor would harm her, why wouldn't Demmings as a police chief? People that would complain about either of those choices, for those reasons, aren't reachable/reasonable voters. You won't win with them.
I agree that Demings record will also be an issue, but I highly disagree with you stating that people who point out their records are not reasonable. It is completely reasonable to point out Kamala’s horrible DA/AG record (I have given specifics several times) and Demings half hearted responses to police misconduct while she was the chief. What is unreasonable is to ignore any politician record just because you like them. I’m More than likely going to hold my nose and vote for Biden no matter who is on ticket, (there are a few exceptions) just because Trump is that bad. But, people need to stop trying act like the criticisms toward Kamala are not legitimate. A better defense of Kamala is to point to her Senate record.

If this is true, Dems are trying to lose another layup election...

:russ:@ asking folk protesting police on the streets to pick between a "law and order" prosecutor and a cop to team up with the crime bill architect...

The idea someone in Bidens camp thinks we will be ok with that because of their skin color and Trump is beyond idiotic...

Never-mind the slap in the face to the progressives that make up 30% of the base and feel disconnected from the Democratic party...

First,
The majority of progressives will hold their nose and vote for Biden.

Second, if enough progressives or Black voters don’t show up that will be on Biden and his team. He should of learned from Hillary picking Tim Kane. Kane was one of the worse picks imaginable and brought nothing to the ticket.

Third, you act like voters should accept anything a politician you like offer. That is not how movements are built, or how major policy get crafted. It took these protests to get politicians to even talk about police reform. Police Reform should of been a top priority for Dems. Neither Harris, or Demings have good records on this issue. It just so happens that this have turned into one of the top issues this year, and the reason Amy Klobuchar is no longer being considered. On top of that Biden himself have a terrible record on these issues as well. You mean to tell me they couldn’t find anyone else? There are red flags about both picks, and if they ignore it don’t blame progressive voters.

Lastly,
Yes Biden Harris or Biden Demings is better than Trump Pence. However, if you didn’t notice people are sick of the status quo and don’t trust the system. And why should they? The system have failed them. Picking a VP that been apart of the system that have lead to this unrest isn’t wise. Again Biden might still win just because Trump is such a disaster, but please stop blaming voters who don’t trust a corrupt system.

i'll stop blaming them when those voters can explain to me how trump's 4 years, and giving him another 4 years, have/will advance the progressive causes they pretend to care about

otherwise that voter is a fukking child with zero sense of strategy :yeshrug:

and i couldnt care less if people vote or not. but dont tell us you actually care about passing progressive laws, if youre willing to give the orange fakkit another 4 years because a biden/harris ticket "isnt progressive enough for you". thats just embarrassing

You act like just progressive voters do this. There are a lot of Black voters that are not voting for similar reasons. Hell, even a decent amount of conservative voters didn’t come out to vote because they didn’t think McCain, or Romney was conservative enough. You remember PUMAs who refused to vote for Obama. Some moderate/establishment democrats openly stated they wouldn’t vote for Bernie Sanders when it looked like he was going to win the nomination. Stop making it seem like only progressives do this. It is disingenuous.

While I do think voting to minimize damage make more sense than not voting at all, I completely understand why people don’t vote. Our system is a fukking joke. Some people think we need to overturn the system by going to the streets. I doubt if that works without a well thought out political agenda, but I understand where they are coming from.
