Biden looks like he will annihilate trump in this election and you might as well get someone to energise the base especially with the protests, and play into the mood.
Some big progressive wins in house primaries recently as well e.g. Charles Booker I think?
Despite her colour and that she’s a woman, Kamala’s record as California AG is a bad look.
It’ll probably be Kamala but I guess it could be a lot worse.
I will say there’s alot of genuine concern about Trump’s chances from republican/rightwingers. Trump’s recent alarmism on mail in voting is having a serious affect on GOP forecasts on turnout nationwide
There’s a sense that he failed to capitalise on the Law and Order angle in response to the recent distress and Trump’s attacks on Biden aren’t cutting.
Keeping things relatively low key and being selective with his battles is a winning strategy at the moment for Biden but that could change
It’s hard to argue that Biden inspires little to no enthusiasm especially in Bernie supporters who may still feel a sense of disillusionment about the entire Democratic party. My view is that Biden is the weaker of two enemies. In a battle for substantive policy reform–medicare for all, federal right for collective bargaining, living wage, etc.–Biden is a President that can be pulled to those policy positions.
To me that’s the best proposition to get me out to vote for an otherwise typical corporate democrat.
I just wish we would get an actual intelligent person running as a 3rd party instead of a sideshow circus act. In fact I wish we could just get a non corrupt lifetime politician/good human being running for president in the first place.
