Everything's complicated and my hesitation about replacing Biden up to now has been informed by polls showing other candidates not doing much better. But a lot of people seem remarkably certain that Harris specifically could not win a general election for reasons I think they should say out loud.
There's a very specific personal vulnerability there that I'm surprised hasn't come up much on the right, but my sense is that doubt here is more about, uh, demographic concerns that haven't really been fleshed out or justified explicitly. Could be wrong.
This is very valid and true, but if the choice is between her a guy who cannot reliably complete sentences without a teleprompter...I dunno, man.

To be fair, the last time she was in a national election, everyone thought she would be a formidable candidate but she did terribly, and was widely considered a surprisingly poor campaigner. So there is a data point.
...yeah it is. You believe he has teleprompters following him in every convo has with his family, cabinet members and other politicians? Every time he talks to anybody he just trails off into this distance? Bc he had a bad evening debate. Laughable.
Clearly false. A good friend of mine met him in May at the White House, and he was extensively lucid, got interrupted during the conversation and then resumed what he was saying mid-sentence
choice between her (harris) and guy who can’t reliably complete sentences (trump)
people are reading the latter as biden instead of trump, but that doesn’t make sense to me in context
basically: harris didn’t do well in the dem primaries, when there was plenty of competition from
other dems
if it were a choice between her and trump, though, she’d be in a stronger position
