As far as I can tell, different faces, but same old, same old… I mean, literally anyone is better than Biden at the job, considering age…

What do dems worry about her?

    Mostly they’re afraid that swing voters won’t vote for a black woman, but are afraid of saying that out loud.

      I, for one, hope that she can energize the campaign, get women to the polls and cancel out any negatives.

      I willnlove to see her go against Trump in a debate, but I doubt “grab her by the pussy” Trump will even do one now since he knows he’d get steamroller.

    I’ll still vote for her, even though I’ve thought she’s been an ineffectual VP and was just a bad presidential candidate in 2020. During the 2020 Dem primary debates she basically got shutdown by Tulsi Gabbard and never really recovered from that, up until Biden picked her as VP. Her previous record would probably make her a liability amongst liberals, but there’s not much choice now. She doesn’t seem to have much charisma or inspire much enthusiasm. She’s not old though, so that’s a plus in her favor. Being a black woman is sure to excite elements of the party that would find that important, as it would be another historic first for the country if she were elected. I’d just be happy to avert fascism with whomever.

    I’m confused… why do even Republicans seem conflicted on Donald Trump as a candidate?

    What do repubs worry about him?

        You can tell Republicans are just not saying it out loud, but they wish someone else was more likely to win than an old convicted felon. They’re just gambling they can get what they want out of it.
