Don't underestimate the Harris pick. Smart, strategic thinkers have placed Harris as VP; it obviously wasn't Biden. Times are different from the beginning of the year till now. Pandemic, protests and riots. I think the Dems are purposely maintaining this environment to shape the election in their favor. Our local officials are a good example of this. As we get closer to the election we can expect more doom and gloom from our local leaders...more lockdowns and more restrictions.
We can probably expect Biden to mistakenly introduce Harris as his wife, his sister or "you know - the thing man!"
Obama taught us that race is not the primary factor for being an effective president -- why are we dealing with BLM when that started under his and Biden's administration? If our first Black president didn't fix it, then obviously race is not the key component.
Hillary taught us that having "lady parts" doesn't make one qualified to be president.
You'd think we have learned not to vote for people based on race and/or gender, but that is exactly why Kamala was selected. Joe is another 50-year government employee who is obviously an old, White male. Kamala was picked to "mitigate" that among the anti-White/anti-male voters who believe things will be better when we elect a [fill in the race and gender] President.
Obama was a test, but they can't accept that the test failed. He did little to help "his people". Trump has demonstrably done more for the Black communties.
I have a suspicion the Dems will be pushing the "unofficial" issue, that Kamala can be the first female president if Joe and she win -- either Joe won't serve out his term, or she'll be the incumbent VP, ready to run on the Dem ticket in 2024.
if she is the incumbent, she'll be likely to be the Presidential nominee with little to no challengers. That's a major hurdle to be removed for her to run. Look at Joe. He came into the race late and still won the primaries sort of. Imagine how many fewer candidates would have bothered if he entered the race very early. I'm still asking why he waited, and why he decided to run. Another decision he didn't make for himself?
Lots of assumptions and "what ifs", but I have a feeling the Dems are gaming the election nominations since the issues all work against them -- as usual.
