    No, it really does matter that it’s her. Just because there’s a few other good options out there doesn’t mean there aren’t also a ton of bad ones. I recently took a trip down memory lane seeing clips of the 2020 primary, and Harris was at least up there in viability.

    For example, would a VP Amy Clobuchar spark this much energy? Or dare I remind you we even had the likes of Tulsi Gabbard running? Not to mention the dozen no name folks on stage we all forgot about.

    Biden picked a solid VP (who also kicked his ass in the first debate) and I think she’s done a great job changing the narrative. Give her a bit more credit and don’t fall into the bs DEI narrative.

      Really?

      Because she’s moving “to the middle” policy wise, so if that’s what you liked about her…

      Did you think she was charismatic? Because most didn’t. To the point she dropped before anyone had a chance to even vote for.

      She’s the candidate, she’s better than trump, and I’m gonna be happy to vote for her.

      But making her out to be better than she really is ain’t helping anyone. And if you like her for the 2020 primary positions, well. She’s left almost all of those behind. Her platform just got announced and she’s not doing any of the stuff she talked about back then.
