Racism, sure, but never underestimate... dchill Oct 2023 #3

Yes, I believe the term is "misogynoir" LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #46

It's misogyny too Bettie Oct 2023 #4

A depressing thought. I still have hope! LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #44

In my case it isn't, nor is it because she's a woman Polybius Oct 2023 #50

I'm not defaulting to Kamala Harris. She'll have to prove her ability to win like everyone else. brooklynite Oct 2023 #2

Doesn't surprise me. You may be a Democrat, but every election is a transactional financial OAITW r.2.0 Oct 2023 #7

Absolutely wrong. brooklynite Oct 2023 #25

Are you suggesting that some of us "fellow Democrats" wouldn't support the Democratic Party under other circumstances? brooklynite Oct 2023 #26

Yes... Think. Again. Oct 2023 #27

what does that mean? LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #45

I need to know that the candidate I pick has bother the competence to govern and the political skills to win. brooklynite Oct 2023 #53

I assume you mean "both" (not bother) LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #61

.She wasn't competitive in 2020.... brooklynite Oct 2023 #62

Obviously she will be in a very different place in 2028 as former VP LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #63

Not so far, from my perspective... brooklynite Oct 2023 #64

Agree. beaglelover Oct 2023 #51

Strong intelligent woman of color.... getagrip_already Oct 2023 #5

I've always been a big fan of hers calguy Oct 2023 #6

Joe and Kamala started with a health crisis that Trump fucked up. At least 500K died needlessly because of OAITW r.2.0 Oct 2023 #8

If you can get a majority of Dems to agree with you... calguy Oct 2023 #11

why WOULDN'T we get a majority of Dems to agree? Is there something blocking people from seeing her accomplishments? LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #47

Man she was my pick early in the run up to 2020. edisdead Oct 2023 #23

It has nothing to do with misogyny? I can't believe that Walleye Oct 2023 #32

I chose Warren over Harris (and Klobuchar, Gillibrand, Gabbard) 4 years ago. progressoid Oct 2023 #35

Well I'm certainly not accusing you of misogyny, but look around, it's a way of life here Walleye Oct 2023 #36

You can believe or disbelieve anything you want calguy Oct 2023 #37

"she lacks what it takes to make a serious presidential run." Gee, what on earth could that be? LymphocyteLover Oct 2023 #48

You have something there but I think alot of the public's dismissal of her is a product of the media's presentation. jaxexpat Oct 2023 #40

Getting a little ahead of oneself, aren't we? Fiendish Thingy Oct 2023 #9

Watching the 60 Minutes feature of her, and she seems....powerful. n/t AntiFascist Oct 2023 #20

Think the OP was being a bit tongue in cheek there edisdead Oct 2023 #24

I will likely not be supporting her in the primaries, as she may well not win the key swing states in the general Celerity Oct 2023 #10

If we don't win in 2024 kwolf68 Oct 2023 #12

History shows that sitting V.P.s do not win. See Nixon, Gore question everything Oct 2023 #13

Poppy also went down to an approval rating of about 28% Polybius Oct 2023 #18

I'd add H2O Man Oct 2023 #21

Truman? Gore did win without SC tilting scale uponit7771 Oct 2023 #28

No, he didn't brooklynite Oct 2023 #31

In real life, Florida was relevant and USSC tipped scales to bush. That's reality. End of story uponit7771 Oct 2023 #42

Oddly enough, all of the polls before the election showed Bush winning Florida Polybius Oct 2023 #55

You are correct questionseverything Oct 2023 #58

I agree... Think. Again. Oct 2023 #43

Well, we've had it twice so far (depending on your age, I'm assuming you are over 30) Polybius Oct 2023 #56

Jeff Jackson (D) NC A HERETIC I AM Oct 2023 #34

I'm not familiar with him but I'm getting kind of a John Edwards vibe. Gidney N Cloyd Oct 2023 #39

He should have ran for the US Senate in 2020. Unfortunately he is now going to likely lose his US Celerity Oct 2023 #49

He's running for NC Attorney General. brooklynite Oct 2023 #54

good career move due to the new maps Celerity Oct 2023 #60
