David Bonowitz: I'd be interested in polls of just the persuadable T voters who've spent the last 8 years stewing in Fox disinfo about the Black, female, HBCU alumna, Gavin Newsom appointee from SF. But if she can bring to the stump the fire she once showed on the Judicial Comm, I'm all for it.

There is a point at which we would all agree that Biden needs to step down, right? Like, if he was suddenly Dianne-Feinstein-at-the-end levels of visibly too old, I could call for him to step without being lumped in with Trump supporters, right?

The answer is no. There’s a non zero amount of people whose only action is voting once every 4 years & throwing tantrums at critiques or realism. Those people also need to self examine their hatred of Kamala despite loving the Biden admin People who love Biden but hate Kamala are interesting ones 👀

Yeah, hard for me not to think a refusal to embrace Kamala as the obvious alternative is underlying a lot of the anger I'm seeing.

I have opinions about Harris, but what Biden supporters think of her is secondary. From the start of the campaign, the goal has been to peel off just a few % of the persuadable T voters, and I suspect Harris will have a much harder time doing that than Biden.

I disagree. Polls in the average don't show Harris doing significantly better or worse than Biden vs. Trump (some show slightly better, some show slightly worse). My gut tells me she would do better, yours tells you she would do worse. That's fine.
