Somehow, dropping a draw four feels good in a place like this.

That feature’s been busted for years.

I’m not saying she’s a guaranteed win, but I still like her odds better than Biden’s.

I wish we wouldn’t come down so hard on people asking the question “how long is long enough,” because those conversations are the only way to move forward!

Good point. He was on House of Cards when he got cancelled, but they had already finished season five. Makes me wonder if his career was already on a downward spiral because people were just tired of him playing grab ass.

NewsRadio fans remember it’s how he started.

I’ll have to take your word for it re: the factions within the party. I’m no Washington insider, but I would presume party officials had some kind of say in who Biden picked to be his VP. Plus the Biden skeptics I’ve been reading warn that skipping over Harris in favor of someone else could piss off Black voters, a…

That’s too bad. I thought the trailer was charming.

I don’t understand what the “lack of say” is. People voted for her to be the vice president, literally the second in line to the presidency. As the incumbent, Biden ran virtually (albeit not technically) unopposed in the 2024 primaries, so I certainly didn’t get a real say. And while she’s not popular, she’s not less…

That’s why swapping out Biden with Harris makes the most sense to me. She wouldn’t have to campaign from scratch; in fact she could immediately start using Biden’s campaign funds. I know she’s not a popular candidate, but she can run on everything Biden can. She can call out Trump’s age and gaffes. Hell, she can…

I still think Kamala can run on the administration’s accomplishments, which as you point out, there are plenty of. I think running against Trump, who is still massively unpopular outside of his base, would be beneficial to her, since the country already fucked around and found out what happened when we hemmed and…

Stewart covered that in the video above. No one serious ran against Biden. And people who live in states that hold their primary elections later have fewer choices every presidential election cycle anyway because candidates drop out (which means the people who voted for them also didn’t “count”). The DNC could just…

This is a controversial opinion (thank God there’s no downvote button here), and I’ll acknowledge that I’m heavily biased by the fact that it was the first season I watched new episodes as they premiered but…

I’ve read that she polls slightly better than Biden. Maybe it depends on the poll, but I’ll concede that no poll shows her being Miss Popular.

I acknowledge that the Biden administration has *done* things. I don’t think he should step down because his term has been a disaster; I think he should step down because - whether we like it or not - presidential elections are glorified popularity contests, and Republicans do better in elections with low voter…

I agree, which is why I’ve been saying elsewhere and in previous comment sections that if Biden does step down, he should immediately endorse someone. Kamala Harris makes the most sense to me, but no matter who it is, the DNC should unify behind the replacement. If they don’t go with Harris, my pick would be Gretchen…

Sure, but if we’re going to talk about policy, then I still wouldn’t necessarily choose Biden over other, potential Democratic candidates. It’s hard to say since we didn’t have a serious primary season for Democrats this election. To some extent I would argue that the primaries in 2020 were less about policy and more…

At 75 years old, I’m not crazy about her or 82-year old Sanders, but anyone would be an improvement right now.

That “think tank spook shit” is going to be a lot easier to implement after Republicans control the courts and replace career civil workers with lapdog loyalists. What would have taken decades could be made reality a lot quicker. I’m baffled that Democrats aren’t hammering Republicans with Project 2025.

Exactly. The Biden administration, other Democrat politicians, and the DNC are the ones in denial - not the voters.
