NY Times: You thought this election might be about an unprecedented convicted criminal running to overthrow Constitutional democracy? You think you decide the narrative? Oh no. That’s our turf. And we say the most important thing in the election—nay, the world—is Joe Biden’s age.
The media is focused on the same thing those of us who do activism and voter outreach are focused on: the fact Biden needs to step aside. Ask anyone doing voter outreach & they'll tell you, everyone thinks Biden is not capable of winning nevermind serving 4 more years.
I'm not sure where you live, but here in Conservatopia where I do voter outreach, Republican voters are salivating at the chance to go either full metal racist on Kamala Harris or destroy any also-ran from the Democratic Primary.
The argument that the vice president shouldn't be the nominee because she's a Black woman cuz there are racists in red states is both ridiculous & offensive. Your own race-bias is showing. She'd bring new voters & actually draw interest, as opposed to the two braindead boomers we've had since 2016.
It's adorable that you think that only red states have myscognists and racists who wouldn't vote for a woman or one of color (or both).
You rail on boomers but are so unbelievably naive it's stunning.
It's like she's unaware of all the open fascist Millenials and Zoomers like Candace Owens or Nick Fuentes (or that they overwhelmingly support the GOP).
Your ageism is showing. I'm a boomer.
If Kamela Harris by whatever means became the candidate I would definitely support her. I also support her own statement she supports Joe Biden.
Funny how movers and shakers in the Democratic Party are pushing for white people and not Kamala Harris.
Meanwhile over at Bloomberg, they have a sad about Wall Street donors can't control the narrative of the base voters of the party, because isn't it sad no one is thinking of billionaries?
Not easily if at all. Campaign funding raised for Biden and Harris are for their campaign.
It would almost be certain if someone tried to transfer it to any other person, the GOP would be complaining to the FEC and going to the courts to try to stop it.
Do you live in an area where literally every store sells racist merch about VP Harris? I do.
You are aware it's the media driving this and not the party's base, correct? For example, the Parkinson's story was cooked up by Laura Loomer and spread by Mike Lee. Amazingly, conservatives lied.
He is clearly not. I don't suppose you saw any part of the rallies afterward, such as North Carolina, several churches in Philadelphia, Wisconsin, &c.
Amazing how no one wants to call out the fascist to drop out.
It is a completely cogent argument. Is someone being slightly too old for a job better than literal fascism? It's not fucking close. Stop pretending it is.
Especially at this stage in the process. Some sort of anointing of Harris as the nominee would maybe have been possible months (years?) ago, but now... keep the orange fascist out is priority.
This won't convince voters. Biden cannot win. If he refuses to acknowledge reality, he'll not only lose the White House to Trump, he'll drag down dozens of house members & hand the senate to fascists as well. Then they'll have all 3 branches. My life is on the line here, this isn't a team sport.
He's not "slightly too old". He's has serious cognitive issues. Ask any physician if 82 year olds w/cognitive decline get better. They don't. He's simply not qualified to be president for 4 more years. He has memory issues & he refuses to take a cognitive exam. He can't beat Trump. Cope won't help.
