Why did the Democrats push Harris for President?

[Mas-sa-suta]

The Biden-Harris campaign bragged about the huge campaign cash haul from "grassroots donors"....who allegedly gave $millions and $millions to Biden-Harris...
When the demented Biden was benched by the kingmakers, why not Shapiro, or Newsome, or one of the others who received primary support?
The reason is clear. The alleged "grassroots", who may have donated $5, $10, $20 were victims of a nefarious scheme by 'ActBlue' to launder tens of $millions of illicit contributions by falsifying reports to show that these donors gave hundreds or thousands through 'Act Blue' ...
A number of AGs have ongoing investigations, contacting these donors, who had no knowledge of these amounts.....but why Harris?
Any other candidates could not use these funds. Federal election law requires the funds be refunded..in this case to donors who had not given them.
The IRS," Did you declare these funds? Do you have unreported income? Are you a tax cheat?"
It was a scam to protect criminal election scams. Walz was a throwaway...
Anything to protect the criminal acts by the Left.
Anything... to include attempted murder...
I live for the accountability. ..

Biden would have probably done better in penns and michigan honestly. I think they panicked without a real plan.

 

[bailey777]

And not picking shapiro was a horrible mistake. Still probably would have lost but penns would have been much closer.

They did the only thing they had to try and cover up the scam/grift..
It'll come under the jeweler's eye soon enough..

Democrats in leadership are just as damned stupid as MAGAs

And they grifted their way to the top of that rancid stack..doesn't say much for the rank/file.

If so, the Jeweler will have an accident and fall out of a window, before there is any traction made. Zero chance the swamp allow anything to gain traction against them legally, without a body count. Zero chance. We have allowed the Weevils to control the flour mill.

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

Because Biden is the last incumbent president since LBJ to not seek re-election, and neither him nor the Democrats properly prepared to have him step down sooner and have a proper primary. You can't make this shit up. Dems needed a white male candidate, which was obvious. The DNC is the Republican's MVP.

no chance. not after how they came in, the woke centric administration, etc. zero chance they could push out a black woman after identity politics was the locus of their 4 years. npt is right. dems need to move on from all that. pick the best candidate

They didn’t necessarily need a white candidate(see Obama, Barack), they just needed someone with a brain.

 

[IUclover]

They knew they were going to lose no matter who they picked so they picked Harris in order to not waste a future and more promising option. That's my theory.

Early on I thought she had a chance but then I remembered some things about the USA.

Real answer, James Clyburn threatened the Democrat party if they didn’t pick her!

might very well be true

that many of us were opposed to a vapid blinkard who only knows race-baiting and was chosen not bc of merit but bc of her race and gender?

Sorry. If they could run middle of the road old man Joe Biden in 2020, they could run whoever they wanted. The obvious choice for the Party was the younger Vice President, as it typically is. She did a really good job of pulling together a competitive campaign with just 100 days to go until the election. It would have been a bloodbath for people like Shapiro or Newsome (who repeatedly said that he wouldn't take the nomination from Harris) to try to put together an actual campaign.

I get that you guys wanted the Dems to spend a couple of months fracturing and picking a new candidate, but the problem wasn't that the Democratic Party wasn't unified behind Harris. The problem was that Harris couldn't close the deal with the rest of the electorate with a really difficult economic narrative to run in.

No, that most people care more about the price of gas and a Big Mac than character and the rule of law.

no you're all wrong. your timing is off. after 4 years of playing identity politics they couldn't run a middle of the road biden type. it'd be hypocrisy.

people care more about the price of gas and a big mac then racist infrastructure and trannies. dems lost the forest for the trees pandering to the minority, no pun intended. lost the cops. lost the teamsters. gained the lgbqtxy. bad math in that strategy

 

[hoosboot]

Nah. I'm right. Politics never worries about hypocrisy.

Deal was sealed when Biden named her his choice as Vice President. Primary could have unseated her, but wouldn't have happened absent that. Almost never does when the VP of a sitting President chooses to run after the President's run is done. If Biden had chose Amy Klobuchar or Steve Bullock, they would have been the candidate.

You’re discounting how singularly bad Harris was and how over a significant portion of the country was with the politics they associate with her. Look at the map. She’s woke identity bs. Teamsters don’t care. Cops don’t care. Workers don’t care.

Shapiro or someone else that could have distanced themselves from the far left would have won. This was a referendum on the last four years of incredibly dumb policies and rhetoric that Joe blow simply does not give a shit about. They care about gas and groceries and the American dream not the woke cult. And there are more joe blows than anyone else in America. And they spoke up. You’re Calif wrong my friend

That may be the case, but that has nothing to do with why the Democratic Party picked Kamala Harris to be their Presidential candidate when Joe Biden dropped out 100 days before the election.

Of course it does. They ate this one. Identity politics and dei bit em on the ass. Karma. You can’t spend four years shouting race and gender with a blowhorn then boot a black woman. For whom? A smart white Jew with an impending friar tuck that looks like 2/3 of my business partners, and 2/3 of all business partners, and every other lawyer at the courthouse

All the things you were talking about are general election topics that don't relate to why Dems went from Biden to Harris.

Dems went from Biden to Harris bc to do otherwise would be hypocritical after what they’ve purported to stand for the last four years. It’s as simple as that hoos

Nope. Once she was Biden's choice for VP, the die was cast. It's as simple as that.

Bwahahahahahaha!

It was a hurdle but no. It boiled down to messaging and optics. You can’t go from Harris to this guy after 4 years of woke race baiting. And a 100 days. So what. She had a billion dollars. Her history was shit. Hard to overcome woke

 

[mcmurtry66]

Yeah good point

You keep conflating the results of the general election with internal Democratic Party decision making. Doesn't matter how much of a hard-on Josh Shapiro gives you. Democratic Party wasn't going to toss aside the sitting Vice President.

 

[UncleMark]

Nope. Once she was Biden's choice for VP, the die was cast. It's as simple as that.

You're arguing with people who are looking for any reason other than the voters choosing gas and cheap fast food over character and good governance.

 

[mcmurtry66]

You keep conflating the results of the general election with internal Democratic Party decision making. Doesn't matter how much of a hard-on Josh Shapiro gives you. Democratic Party wasn't going to toss aside the sitting Vice President.

And you refuse to answer why. Remember a sitting vp with a historically low approval with zero accomplishments during her tenure. A vp that was discussed as replaceable if Biden runs again.

I told you the why

 

[mcmurtry66]

You're arguing with people who are looking for any reason other than the voters choosing gas and cheap fast food over character and good governance.

Don’t slide good governance in. It’s inept governance that gave rise to the problems. That you’re too tribal to see the forest for the trees like the rest of the people with a meager income is on you. There’s a reason for the red wave. They want good governance over woke messaging. The masses not the minority. Workers care about kitchen table issues. Paying bills. Feeding kids. Sadly you don’t care about their station

It’s always been that way, Mark. That’s why “it’s the economy, stupid” has its own Wikipedia page.
