For people on Lemmy, sure, but for mainstream Democrats? Nah. Don't buy it.
Well, that can also be said for those that consume MSM vs. those on social media and the internet.
There are also groups that voted for Obama, then turned around and voted for Trump.ย
Obama: Hope.
Trump: Drain the swap.
They might have learned to never trust a politician at face value.
I mean, people are complicated and different from each other. I'm sure there are lots of independents and leftists that's all true of, and I'm sure if you looked around you could even find a few members of the Democratic Party that fit that and also are skeptical of Kamala Harris.
I think most people who are within the mainstream of the Democratic Party and also worried about Kamala Harris as the presidential candidate are likely mostly people who have let demographic polling rot their brains though. That is what I was attempting to say with my original post.
