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.
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.
Yes, but that campaign was a primary which means that data point was comprised of people who read Jacobin and were ride or die for Bernie Sanders, and old people.
Go watch her at any event --find videos on CSPAN. Maybe I am too critical but this made me nervous about our chances with her. I truly do NOT CARE anymore who is the candidate. Anyone with a better chance than Biden is fine. MANY people are probably at this point.
