    Yup! That quote from Biden is absolutely fucking unacceptable. If you are unable to guarantee a success then get the fuck out of the way and lets find someone (not Harris) that can.

        We may not like it, but Harris has a better chance of winning against Trump.

          I, for one, like it. I think she would do a better job than Lemmy thinks she will. I would love to see her debate Trump.

            Think you’re right, she’d do well against him. I just don’t like her. Some of her news bits had me thinking: Trump for Democrats

            Her whole career has been Fighting Against the People. If she’d fight billionaires and corporations like she took down stoners, I might think differently about her.

            There’s no point in anyone debating someone who just blatantly lies continuously.

            It was stupid of Biden to do it and it would be stupid of anyone, even Michelle Obama to bother letting him spout his bullshit like he did.

            The only possible exception is someone like Gavin Newsom or AOC. Someone who could bring the zingers for his bullshit.

            I listened to Newsom on Fox. I would pay high dollars to watch that debate. Or Katie Porter.

        If she wins - good for her - if she loses, let it end her political career forever because she contributed to ending democracy.

      It sort of has to be Harris because the moneys on her, literally. The Biden Harris campaign currently holds hundreds of millions in campaign donations, if Harris becomes the nominee she can use that money pretty easily, but if someone else takes over transferring that money becomes way more complex if it’s even possible.

        The only solution I’ve heard to that problem is refunding them all with instructions to donate to the new person. That seems like it will produce some dollars for the new candidate, but way less than what is refunded.
