Redstreak Posted July 22 Posted July 22 9 minutes ago, Communion said: To her credit, this entire fiasco would have been avoided if the DNC allowed a formal debate like she demanded since it would have been made clear Biden's cognitive abilities were collapsing. It's easy for people to clown her but many of those same people were Biden's champions who have been proven wrong by time. There's no harm in allowing people who participated in the primary to make a speech at the convention pitching themselves to delegates and see what happens from there. Cenk Uygur this is your moment

americanlife Posted July 22 Posted July 22 (edited) I'm really curious to see if Kamala will be able to keep this sudden "momentum" going. I've seen positive reactions only on social media so far, nothing in real life. She's always been unpopular even amongst Dems. Why the sudden change? Edited July 22 by americanlife

I think in a lot of ways Kamala benefits from essentially being a blank slate for a lot of people. She can reinvent herself in the coming months if she wants to. She has to really provide a vision for the country though, she can't just run as a female Biden. 2
GraceRandolph Posted July 22 Posted July 22 If it ends up being Kamala she needs to come out in support of being tougher on Netanyahu and probably for medicare for all as well as court packing. The Biden record isn't that popular among Independents and young disaffected voters won't get back on board without some sort of course correction or brighter future being promised. 3

NausAllien Posted July 22 Posted July 22 I'd bet anything their strategy is to fearmonger non-stop. It's going to be all Project 2025, Democracy will end if you don't vote for me, it's me or a convicted felon, etc. I don't expect Kamala to be all about the issues. She never was. I followed the primaries back in 2019/2020 and she was the worst. She got her moment vs Biden, but that was pretty much the only moment that she had.
GoatGly Posted July 22 Posted July 22 55 minutes ago, GraceRandolph said: It's common sense to not battle test your candidate in any way before making them the nominee and then screaming UNITY at the top of your lungs as a means of suppression? We need to hear all voices and we must be sure Kamala is the best bet at beating Trump. This would've been a great idea a year ago. We need to come together and support Kamala so that there are no legal challenges to her running. The Republicans will do everything in their power to discredit whoever the democratic nominee is.

Huh? Having candidates compete for delegates isn't going to cause legal challenges. This is all DNC fear-mongering nonsense. We don't have to get behind ANYONE until they are an official nominee.

Ms. Togekiss Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Kamala did mention project 2025 in her statement, so she needs to talk about it nonstop and also push for new policies. Biden won in 2020 because people hated Trump, not because they liked him. The only way Kamala wins in November is if she inspires younger people to vote with new policies while simultaneously catering to the anti trump crowd
Sannie Posted July 22 Posted July 22 32 minutes ago, GraceRandolph said: Yep, and Marianne was also the best candidate on Israel and while Kamala was better than Biden Marianne was still much stronger. This is the USA election, not Israel's. We are worried about the USA this time around. 33 minutes ago, Communion said: Because she didn't know Wisconsin was located West and not South? Yes, she has ADHD and suffers from something like "geographical blindness". 18 minutes ago, americanlife said: I'm really curious to see if Kamala will be able to keep this sudden "momentum" going.

A lot of us were going to vote for Biden but we still felt like, "****, we should have a better option" so this all happening has given us newfound hope now that we do have a better option. 1
VOSS Posted July 22 Posted July 22 It would be awesome if a ceasefire agreement is in place before the election. I've read that Hamas seems more willing to cooperate with a real chance of Trump assuming the reigns. 1

Kamala basically runs a business-as-usual Clinton 2016/Biden 2024 continuation campaign when the electorate is looking for some kind of change and she ends up losing albeit by a smaller margin than Biden would've.

nooniebao Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Surprised that Obama hasn't come out to endorse Harris already. Especially considering she's always been an ally of his, even dating back to the 2008 dem primary where she endorsed him over Hillary.

Sure, if this were 2012 or 2016. We don't have the luxury of caring about international issues when we have so much at stake here in the US. For someone who claims Kamala is "business as usual", you sure do seem to be operation as if this election is business as usual. 1
