swing voters and undecided voters basically by definition think about and engage with politics differently than anyone on this site, anyone who writes for the ny times, and the vast majority of the times’ subscribers. otherwise they wouldn’t be undecided/swing voters.
This is what I’ve been saying, and one response I get is, swing voters aside, what about how this affects enthusiasm and thus turnout? But to my (non-expert) mind, Dem enthusiasm/turnout in this election will be largely driven by anti-Trump feeling no matter the candidate
i think that makes a lot of assumptions about enthusiasm for candidate [TBD]. when has harris proven the ability to generate enthusiasm? certainly not in the primaries or as veep? and how will dems and ESPECIALLY black dems react if she’s passed over for some untested unknown
Some one on the Daily Show in 2020 summed up Harris as “she the police”. That is 100% correct. She’s not a progressive. She’s a cop. It would be like having president Eric Adams.
Eric Adams is awful as mayor and I am hoping we can vote him out but I’d vote for him as president if it meant keeping Trump out. I’d vote for a dead body if it meant not Trump. It’s an absolutely garbage ‘choice’ but that’s where we are.
Harris put parents in jail because they were working too hard to get their kids to school on time. She’s not as dumb a cop as Adams, but she is as mean a cop as Adams.
I’m familiar with Harris’s record but I think you should think about why your mind seems to have gone first to comparing her to Adams when there are plenty of “tough on crime” politicians out there.
Honestly, as much as it would be a bs nepotism pick and I think it's too late for replacing Biden anyway, the way to go would be Michelle Obama.
Is she a politician? Not really but I don't think swikg voters would care.
