Time to dump Harris?

Another problem with voting for Biden. Harris as president. We hear all this dump trump. Shit why don’t the Dems dump Biden. The majority of the country disapproves of him.

Never should have picked her in the first place. Gonna cost a lot to dump her now, though.
I thought she was a decent choice at the time, but boy was I wrong.
Not necessarily, just have to sell Michelle on the job.
I assume they’ll dump Biden after it becomes obvious Trump will be the nominee. They’d be insane not to.
Just the opposite. Biden has proven he can beat Trump. Anyone else would be a question mark. Now if the Pubs dump Trump, you never know.
I’m tempted. If I lose you have to come 3UP and drinks on me all night 😁
I think it will be a big mistake. His current polling numbers are awful. It’s a sad situation if Biden is your best candidate.
The best candidate as far as I'm concerned is the one with the best chance at beating Trump. I think that's Biden. YMMV
I don't disagree, but it is damn sad that Trump is the best the other party can do. At least in Biden's case, I think LBJ was the last sitting not to get renominated. It is awful hard to dethrone the king.
That’s where we disagree. I think Newsom would have a better chance or some other normal liberal candidate.
I think most dems would do better than Biden. But I think Biden would refuse to step down in a competition that he thinks he can win...and Biden likely thinks he could beat trump.
I don’t think Trump is the best candidate, but Republican primary voters suck.
LBJ wasn't dethroned. He abdicated.
Yep, March 1968... "I shall not seek, and will not accept, the nomination of my party..."
He can’t. She’ll place the race card into book deals and DNC hush money
Yes, between rising inflation from the guns and butter Great Society, and unrest over the first TV war … LBJ decided enough was enough. The law and order Chicago Mayor Dailey made the Chicago Democratic Convention a double header.
The handwriting was on the wall. He had poor health, didn't want to campaign. When RFK entered, he knew he would have to campaign hard, and he knew he had virtually no chance even then. The antiwar forces were stronger.
"I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected."
-- William Tecumseh Sherman, 1884
Trump and Biden are the result of too much democracy. Seriously considering Michelle would make an abomination of the democratic process producing qualified people. If the Democrats must have a Black female, what about Susan Rice?
She’d be awful. More of the same woke crap. If it’s Michelle might as well just stick with Harris.
I don't disagree but over 20 years we have argued about experience in government and until this moment you have felt not only is it not needed but is in fact detrimental. So color me confused.
Which is another reason nominating Trump is insane. Give the electorate an option, and Republicans have a chance at winning the election.
And guess where the 2024 Democrat Convention is going to be?
2024 Democrat Convention in Chicago is going to make 1968 look tame. Wait until all the anti-Semites come out of the woodwork.
Plenty of time to get a larger popcorn maker.
This is the biggest and most obvious failure of the two party system, even worse than the past eight years. The primary has killed moderate candidates for the GOP, and possibly for the Dems.
But will anything change? Doesn’t seem that way. The money is too great with the two parties.
Isn't Susan Rice one of the secret co-administrators right now?
You shouldn’t be confused. I’ve said, as a general matter, a record of accomplishment outside of government is better than somebody whose entire career is government experience. I stand by that.
Micelle Obama has nearly zero career accomplishments in our out of government— unless you count getting millions for writing a book about herself.
The only reason she is ever mentioned as a candidate for president is a cult of personality. And perversely, it’s not even her personality, it’s Barack’s.
I’d much rather have Michelle. She’s at least very intelligent. Kamala couldn’t pass high school right now.
