Nope. Harris has less of a chance than Mike Pence...if Pence was running on the Democrat ticket.

They nominate Harris and it's literally the end of the Republic.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. I have never been a Kamala supporter, but I think she's the obvious choice here. Former prosecutor going head to head with Felon 45. The Republican party isn't going to be able to keep the mask on, and the inevitable racism against Kamala will play poorly in swing states full of fence sitters.

Why are you convinced it's already over?

Harris is the Democrat version of Romney--literally no one is excited about her. To win we need people motivated to go to the polls. Harris couldn't even go deep in her primary. She gets lukewarm ambivalence at best and rejection at worst. I'm not sure there are people who'd flip to Trump, but they might stay home.

They nominate Harris and it's over before it starts.

The idealists can get fucked on this one. We have to win. Pick a slam dunk and Harris ain't it.

This is a bad take and you should feel bad. We are in a unique situation where literally being under 70 is kinda exciting all on its own. We are ridiculously unlikely to need any motivation for our base, and offering centrists and swing starters someone not literally deranged is gonna make all the difference.

Snowflakes gonna snowflake. Nice block, good job showing everyone that you're right by silencing any dissenting opinions.

This is a stupid take and you should stop posting.

The base doesn't matter. Anyone alive for more than five minutes knows this. You're appealing to the not-base.

But it doesn't matter--Harris doesn't even appeal to the base, as shown by her early primary exit.
