if they get their way is a ticket of two wealthy white men, chosen by other wealthy white men, who will be placed on the ballot by a few people who think they are more important than the rest of us put together.

Reach out to voters? Why would they? We voted for Biden and now they've decided he's forgotten that "working for the people" is supposed to be an empty catch prhase, not something a president should really believe or do.

Now, "working for the donors!" that's one they can get behind.

I disagree. I think it will be Harris if Biden steps down. jalan48 Jul 2024 #9

I agree. I've been watching her closely lately, and listening to her also. CTyankee Jul 2024 #54

I agree, I saw her tonight talking about Vance. I believe she is growing into the role and can win. jalan48 Jul 2024 #55

She is great but right now she can't win the rustbelt...it is too late. And if she is passed over we lose Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #59
