    My concern is that Harris can’t

    I think she’ll get a huge bump when/if she’s the named candidate.

    Progressives are pretty experienced at holding our noses, especially if there’s plausible deniability about the candidate.

    I’m a lot more confident in her chances than Joe’s, and I think she’s the only other option the DNC will give us.

      The youth don’t traditionally vote for “Not Trump” - we need to actually excite the voters.

        What happened in 2020?

        Harris will be enough, just like Joe was last time.

        Because it’s easier to ignore potential disappointment than ignore an ongoing disappointment

            Well what they said was that she had too much baggage from Bill. And wasn’t likeable. And wasn’t Bernie. And didn’t look like a President. I dunno, I voted for her and so did everyone I know. Seemed like entrenched misogyny to me.

            But Roe was the law of the land back then. Might make a difference.

            Bill?

            He was young, charismatic, and pretended to be very progressive when campaigning…

            Worked.out great. Then we doubled down with Obama after that.

            Then for some reason after that we’ve just been running elderly unpopular candidates that are more conservative than Dem voters…
