If there's one thing I can't stand...it's Democrats eating their own.

Opinions that divide us, rather than unite us, will soon be forgotten if we lose this election because we couldn't unite.

HOW IN THE WORLD DID TRUMP GET RE-ELECTED? HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?

"We should run Kamala Harris".

WE ALREADY HAVE KAMALA HARRIS. SHE'S ALREADY RUNNING. AS VP.

Nothing is making sense...

Joe is well aware that his age is not in his favor for another full term. However, he also knows that any attempt to replace him would generate a massive fight among Dems over Kamala being his successor, and would energize the racist Republican base.

So he holds out, takes the risk to win the election, strengthens defenses against armed insurrectionists, then passes the torch to Kamala.

This would be her best chance of becoming the first woman US president and I think he would like that. Otherwise, it might be decades before that glass ceiling could be broken.

I wrote to my senator this morning, Senator Bennet, who said he thinks Trump will win in a landslide & get the house & senate, too. If you don't have anything nice to say then STFU. I was more diplomatic than that but that was my basic message. I told him the hand-wringers are hurting our GOTV efforts & they should channel some Crockett/Newsom fighting spirit, instead!

The constant drumbeat of negative posts and threads here about Pres. Biden is leaving me dumbfounded.

My hope is he is "schooling" her in the nuance of being a smart politician able to manouver around these asshats.
Then again he will always be there to answer any questions and lend assistance.
Until then, I'm RIDIN' WITH BIDEN. Get the team in there and proceed..
.I don't want a fascist prez with 34 convictions, rapist and is a traitor to his country..

Perhaps it would do people good to see her take a bigger role in the campaign, and have both her and Biden explaining that she will be more involved going forward. Our ticket is really a twofer.
People might relax a little if they are assured that BOTH Biden and Harris are working for us all.
