GOLIKEHELLMACHINE: like, “a woman but not that woman” happens very often in american politics even under normal circumstances, and these would be nearly unprecedented

anyone who thinks harris is gonna get an easy walk from the nation’s newspapers and editorial boards if she were to become the nominee is absolutely lying to themselves

If the Biden Drop Out!s get their wish they’re going to regret it like three weeks later when they see how the media covers it

The beauty of "a woman but not that woman" is that the right woman never appears.

fucking thank you

(I mean this in the sense of strong agreement, not sarcastically.)

The lefties would switch from bellyaching about Genocide Joe to bellyaching about Kamala the Cop at relativistic speed

It would be knives out in the media and the same panicky impulse to go NO NOT THAT ONE, the same impulse that fed this, will kick in again and they'll freak the fuck out and blame the DNC and Clinton and the usual suspects. A tale as old as time.

When it's the presidency, it happens EVERY TIME. We are such chauvinist pigs when it comes to that office, it's not even funny.

Harris slipped to the “not THAT woman” side as soon as she accepted the VP nod tbh

I'd have to be confident that the media would rally behind her against Trump and I do not have those emotions.

Biden is just untenable now, too risky. I'm more sanguine on Harris than that. I think there will be a tremendous upsurge in enthusiasm throughout the Democratic Party. (Particularly if she picks a good running mate like Chris Murphy, Andy Beshear, Jamie Raskin, J.B. Pritzker or someone.)

Were you not alive in 2016 and 2019? Bc this is a 100% ahistorical take
