If anyone here has the ear of anyone in the campaign

I think every campaign speech by both of our candidates from now on should start off with “none of this is possible without President Biden bringing us back from the brink of extinction!“

Or something along those lines, I don’t hear all of the speeches but I also don’t think I’m hearing them thank the president, and I could be wrong and I probably am but this should be a no-brainer.

much attention there, I am afraid.

A nod to Joe doesn't hurt anything, he has helped provide advantageous conditions and a White House team in place for her to hit the ground running.

Courtesy, if nothing else.

They were solidly in the None of the Above for 2024 camp.

Harris/Walz is none of the above. That is now a game changer. Constantly inserting Biden into the campaign would be the wrong move.

Kamala did, in fact, give words of thanks to President Biden - to which the crowd broke out in a chant "Thank you, Joe!"
Wonderful!

We can’t do what we want to do without solid majorities in both houses. Please vote Democrat from top to bottom.

This is not about Joe Biden.

This is about Kamala Harris.

It is time for Joe to go into the background and let the new guard have their day.

ETA: It also would like a woman cannot make it on her own.
Her old boss has to keep selling her.

to do what is right.

Thankfully, the Harris/Walz campaign will manage just fine without the dictates and commands of random online people on a small discussion website.
