Most people dislike her. Most black people do not lile her. She bleeds black staff constantly, this was on the news. Like what has she really done with her given portfolio? Most people are barely aware of what it even is.
Just saw that Biden will be not taking a Mental Cognitive Test on his next physical. Wonder why.
Maybe because there are a number of videos lile this plus all the recent stuff. It is concerning. I bet they will swap for Newsom.
The inside politics reason that Harris exists in the white house, is that the Hillary faction of the DNC (who hates obama, almost as much as they hate bernie), were positioning Harris as their replacement for Clinton. After Harris face-planted repeatedly during the primary and it was obvious she was never going to be elected, she joined the centrist voltron along with Pete Buttigieg, Bloomberg, Amy Klobachar, and Elizabeth Warren who all dropped out and endorsed Biden right before South Carolina in order to stop Bernie. Pete got to be secretary of transportation, Harris got VP.
Hell no to Harris, she has negative charm every interview I've seen, like she has utter contempt for anyone else.
There were 4 opeds in the NYT over the weekend talking about Biden's age, which felt remarkably candid for the elite rag it is. One of them in particular was an "interesting" idea where Biden is swapped out before the convention, but after the primaries / delegates are assigned. Democracy FTW (/s)
Now that I think about it though, why would the aides actually running the white house want a real leader? Seems like they have it pretty good as it is.

She told Hondurans 
to the U.S.
What's really funny is is such a goofy quote that even people who aren't remotely leftists use it. If people don't know where it's from the seeds are right there for a blatant anti-immigrant speech to blow up in her face and not go away.
Could they just trade places? Run as a Harris Biden ticket. There is a lot more endless whining about Biden than Harris after all, and I imagine it would throw Newscorp for a spin while they refocus on new non politics reasons to hate Harris. She’s younger, more likable, and can point to the same exact record.
Given that the current Dem plan seems to be to do nothing and just hope that the Republicans never win again, starting a tradition of the VP of one admin graduating to the Presidency of the next seems like it might also make sense to limit the difficulty faced holding the office after a second term.
It's not whining, it's justifiable outrage. The fact that Harris can point to the same exact record is not a plus. There were polls before this memory issue even came up showing that Trump was beating Biden with blacks, Latinos and voters under 25! Do you realize how bad that is!? Democrats have to absolutely dominate in those demographics to have a chance at winning. It's true that polling at this stage is pretty useless but, even so, that ought to be setting off alarm bells. This is really bad.
BTW: if you really want to alienate voters that the Democrats desperately need, then keep using words like "whining".
I don’t know, I’d say Fox News and the New York Times running constant stories on a canadates age or speaking ability while avoiding more than a footnote mention of any policy, actions, or laws the candidate has shaped, no matter how watered down they were, is whining. If it was justifiable outrage, surely the focus would be on things he was actually doing, like supporting Isreal’s far right or backing down when faced with a incompetent House, and not about how someone with a speech impediment flubed a speech?
Ah. I didn't realize you were going for the Fox News / New York Times demographic. I'm not sure tagging in an unlikable black woman from California is going to get you very far with that crowd, but I wish you the best of luck.
Biden pretty obviously has got some working memory issues that go beyond a simple speech impediment. Personally I don't think that's a big deal for an effective executive, since good staffing and delegation can bridge that gap. It's pretty horrible for a presidential candidate though. It's a really good thing that Trump is no more interested in a debate than Biden.

This. The Democratic establishment's smug, centerist, out of touch attitude is MASSIVELY self destructive. Are their political consultant's ALSO massively out of touch??
The Democratic establishment and their political consultants are pretty much the same exact group. It's a revolving door system to distribute campaign donations. DNC members move in and out of the various campaign organizations, consultancies, and government positions.
Campaign money gets spent on consultants who take a cut and spend most of the rest on ineffective television adds. The primary purpose of the adds is not to reach voters, but to purchase the loyalty of broadcasters who will then cooperate with campaigns. That's why they have been so slow to shift to the Internet, even though it provides the most bang for the buck. Leverage over broadcasters is crucial in maintaining a news blackout for progressive candidates.
I don't know what's wrong with those Dems. Does she think she just fell out of a coconut tree?
She's borderline brain-dead even though she's in her prime. I genuinely hope Biden wins AND lives for another five years.
Hate to break it to you lady but no, you abso-fucking-lutely are not.
How come? (Genuine question)
I mean this is all basically just more media clickbait on the theme of "how is this bad for Biden".
"Biden called old while being exonerated of classified document prosecution! How is this bad for him?"
It's hilarious that liberals have convinced themselves that the media is being harsh on Biden and not that they have been carrying water to hide the fact he's on the verge of death and actively gleefully spitting in the faces of the people who elected him last time.
They literally post articles that boil down to "don't believe your lying eyes, Biden is doing great" and liberals still complain they aren't doing enough heavy lifting for him.
Like, why is it literally everybody's job to get Biden elected except for fucking Biden?
