Why did the Democrats push Harris for President?

[The Original Happy Goat]

Good grief people.

1) They didn't give themselves enough time to properly find anyone else.
2) The small handful who might have been prepared for a last minute run (Newsom and ????) didn't want it.

Didn’t want it may be true. Then my premise would be wrong. And I don’t believe it is. I don’t believe time. They had ample notice of Biden’s condition and I guarantee talks were had. I was calling him mushy peas long before the debate

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

I notice you didn't address character. As for good governance, I give you Matt Gaetz.

People choosing between food and meds. Worried about feeding their kids don’t have the luxury to worry about character

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

You told me the wrong why. I told you the right why.

I get that Shapiro makes you tingle, but the Democratic Party wasn't going to pass over the sitting VP.

No I told you the right why. Your why contravenes everything the party has claimed to stand for the last 4 years

 

[IUclover]

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?

I was referring to the incels, closet nazis, and dipshits who believe anything on their Facebook/X feed and/or need a sense of illegitimate belonging. Cult stuff too.

Also a weak/strong or masculine/feminine element too. People will believe anything to feel a certain way or to be part of the group.

Re: Good governance - Are you expecting better from Trump and his nepo-loyalists picks? The Repub party is maga+ now.

Expecting? More hoping for something similar to his first term. Mandate is never a good word. It’s tantamount to transformative….

My why aligns perfectly with what you erroneously claim to be everything the party stood for the last four years. That's gravy, but it isn't what drove the decision. Goat nailed it pretty well.

Gtfo. You don’t play identity race baiting politics then pass over a black female.

You know hoos how consistently clueless you are in your history of posts is exactly why there was a red wave. You. Do. Not. Get. It.

And you have learned nothing

Of course Trump will govern better. It’s not difficult to do a better job than Biden. All Biden had to do was not helicopter money from the sky, tone down the woke shit, and allow in only 2 million illegals instead of 10 million….aka be semi normal. Trump will do all of those things, plus cut taxes, regulations, and end the war in Ukraine.

It wouldn't have been possible for them to really start preparing an alternate candidate until after Biden dropped out. Again, Newsom is probably the only person who had the infrastructure and money to even tease at it, and he probably couldn't have even done it. You're criticizing Biden for not dropping out earlier, which is fair, and the Dems for not forcing him out/voting for someone else in the primary, which is also fair, but once it shook out the way it did, Harris was the only feasible choice.

Always can tell when I'm on the right track when you start going with "lost in California". Yeah, you've got it so totally figured out in Missouri. 🤣

So totally not lost that you had to respond twice.

@hoosboot hey hoos my kids made it fine. I trust they won’t end up trannies or any other fckd up thing you support either
And I like how triggered you are you bringing up kids. What a creepy little scummy pos you are. Too stupid to stay on the merits aren’t you

Yes, I am pro-grannies.

 

[mohoosier]

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. ..

Because she’s a playa. She will do whatever she’s told, just like Joe.

Oh I’m sober. I stay on the merits. But you go personal bc you’re too stupid to debate. You’re also too stupid to recognize why the country repudiated people like you

All of this could have happened long before. And money was never going to be an issue.

It's fascinating that you type this with no ounce of irony.

 

[The Original Happy Goat]

But it didn't. Biden ran for reelection, and the voters selected him in the primary, so the party was stuck. By the time he dropped out, Harris was the only choice. The question was why did the Democrats push Harris. The answer is because they had no choice.

You're the guy who brought your day with your kids to the Cooler. I just referred to it.

I merely responded to you trying to make it about me instead of the merits. Sorry that you don't like to reap what you sow, but that's a you problem.

You’re the dipshit claiming Harris was a good candidate. Anyone with an ounce of common sense outside of the sphere of your moronic woke bullshit could see she was awful. You think it a coincidence the country went so red? Or maybe you’re just clueless? In a woke echo chamber surrounded by people as dumb as you

It's so funny that you are somehow deluded that you don't go personal.

I've been locked out of additional posting in this thread by someone, so not able to engage with you any further, but I deleted the reference to the story you brought to the site about your morning because I can see that you're super sensitive about it.

You're unable to stay on the topic of why Harris became the candidate when Biden dropped out, so I'll just return to saying that you're wrong.

 

[The Original Happy Goat]

Really? Show me where I brought up anything ancillary here

I respect the fact that you limit your personal attacks almost exclusively to deriding the intelligence of your opponent, but still, you go there quicker than most, and you're especially vehement about it when you do.

 

[mcmurtry66]

It's so funny that you are somehow deluded that you don't go personal. Happy to delete the reference to the story that you posted earlier on another thread if it hurts your feelings.

I was on topic. That’s on you. Read the thread

How many times has an incumbent VP been skipped over by their party? When was the last time it occurred?

Against their will? Alben Barkley, Truman's Veep. The unions didn't back him, and he couldn't secure the nomination.

Just listened to that whole interview. The only candidate on either ticket who could speak that knowledgeably about politics, that eloquently, and that intelligently, is Vance.

Harris, Biden, Trump, and Walz are not in the same league.

Again, blame the voters for not picking him, but once it was all said and done, Harris was the only one standing.
