Watch VP Harris very carefully.

[Frasier Balzov]

Kamala Harris is the pivot point. If you sense her equivocating in her support for Biden, even if it's by way of silence, view it as possible awareness on her part that her substitution as the presidential candidate is afoot.

It's entirely up to Joe Biden whether to make it look like his own idea. That could be the best look for his legacy.

Furthermore, if Harris leaves the convention already holding the office as the first woman president, how can she possibly be defeated? What exactly are the forces which turn against her rather than carry her to victory? Disgruntled Biden voters can't object too loudly because as far back as 2020 Joe picked her to succeed him.

What are the chances that succeeding him actually becomes necessary during his second term? If the chances are high, why not embrace her ascension now with Biden leading the way. I suggest that more unanimity can be found around that solution than trying to put out all these fitness fires.

Again, it's entirely up to Joe Biden. Check back with him frequently to see if he has reconsidered his candidacy. To say he has already decided will not the end the discussion.

1. I don't think Harris is going to budge.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Forces? How about misogyny and racism.

5. The campaign against her

has preemptively begun

[Frasier Balzov]

6. Does Biden's support depend on being a white male?

And how is a woman presidency ever possible without being dramatically kick started such as I am proposing be orchestrated right here and right now?

3. The ticket is BIDEN-HARRIS, accept it or you are electing Trump

This in-fighting and trying to shove Biden aside because the media and the powers-that-be have decided to kneecap Joe is getting tiresome.

BIDEN-HARRIS 2024
I am 100% confident that should Biden ever NEED to step aside or god forbid be replaced upon death, that Kamala will make a splendid President. The strength of the Democratic ticket is that as long as he is able, we have TWO persons that are capable of being an excellent steward of the American experiment...the GOP is headlined by a convicted felon with a vengeance plan and enemies list and sure to be some asshat backbencher VP who I would not elect to be dog catcher.

HARRIS-BUTTIGEG 2028

THAT is all the future and navel gazing I wish to engage in.,..

4. Oh, please.

7. It would be rough if she did have to step up.

Media will take it as confirmation Joe really is infirm and cry cover-up. And she'll be targeted with all kinds of questions: "What did you know and when did you know it?" They already tipped their hand on this. It's already been brought up. She can handle tough questions, but the more she has to defend herself and other Dems, the less she gets to spend on the issues.

8. He might have already thought through his plan. His legacy will be more than just what legislation or foreign policy he

crafted/enabled. If he supported/helped this country get its first woman president it will be a wonderful gift to our nation!

I chuckle when I think of Sarah Palin "I can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska" seemed to be the extent of her foreign policy creds. But before her we had our chance at Geraldine Ferraro, a truly wonderful Dem, but a doomed ticket, unfortunately.

I think Kamala will be a great president!
