as far as campaign cash. I don't come to this site much anymore but felt like logging in to answer the question from the OP.

My registered Independent mom who also lives in Arizona can't bring herself to vote for Biden mostly because of Netanyahu (off topic but he is the same person that was suspicious of Obama because his middle name was Hussein and he also blamed Hitler on Muslims before October 7th) but she could bring herself to vote for Kamala Harris. She was impressed and so was I over how well she cleaned up after Biden's performance on CNN. She thinks based on her ability to speak that she is much more intelligent than either Trump or Biden.

Project 2025 scares me so I am a more likely vote for Biden than my mom but it wouldn't hurt to see improvements from the campaign whatever form that would take.

Why do people think switching out Joe at this point would solve anything? [View all] Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 OP

Because the people who want to switch out Joe don't want to solve anything. sop Jul 2024 #1

That's ridiculous. Goodheart Jul 2024 #49

What do you want to solve? sop Jul 2024 #80

If Kamala Harris were the nominee or top of the ticket then they could still use campaign funds AZProgressive Jul 2024 #2

And the media is already starting to do to her what they did to Hillary Just_Vote_Dem Jul 2024 #4

I would add that the media is also responsible for trashing Joe for his age for years! stevebreeze Jul 2024 #77

Campaign funds is not enough LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #7

I'm glad you acknowledge the "coastal elite" problem. shrike3 Jul 2024 #47

Plus, there's the fact that knives are already sharpening for Kamala. shrike3 Jul 2024 #46

And while Trump might not GOTV like in the past, GOP fence sitters would turn out in force against Harris Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #61

Yep. The force$ behind Trump are the real threat. They know he can't beat Biden on his own, he's damaged goods Attilatheblond Jul 2024 #68

When there is an outside threat, Republicans circle the wagons and start shooting at the enemy. shrike3 Jul 2024 #48

Agree with you! at140 Jul 2024 #29

Some media dolt just did an op-ed as how the Dems have to replace Biden AND Harris. shrike3 Jul 2024 #50

Honestly. tanyev Jul 2024 #66

Somebody is already going there. shrike3 Jul 2024 #82

How is running our strongest chance at winning... Think. Again. Jul 2024 #40
