Is the DNC’s sudden “switcheroo” with selecting Harris as their 2024 candidate going to help or hurt democrats?

[Anonymous]

I really wasn’t all that surprised the DNC did this dirty crap. They don’t care who about this screws over primary voters who went for Biden as their 2024 candidate.

But this isn’t the first time they did this shady crap to their primary voters. Back in 2016 primaries they promoted HRC over Bernie Sanders since they assumed she was a “safer bet” despite Bernie being a much more popular with primary voters.

Anyway Harris has noticed a sudden poll bump and a huge influx in cash. The huge influx in cash happened so fast that it’s almost like this was all planned way in advanced. Her campaign is also trying to flip the script on age issue given Harris is only 59 and Trump is 78.

This sudden change might give off some sort of “fresh hope” for democrats. But Harris herself has tons of holes in her game and skeletons in her closet. I will post about this later but I predict she is going to try to use the race/card to deflect them.

However MSM will definitely promote he for being “special” given she’s a black woman and protect her. But I got a feeling many Americans are really fed up with DEI bs (whether they admit it or not). It’s not 2020 anymore and the BLM ideology is losing its luster. Especially with the more serious problems we got going on with hyperinflation, the border crisis (which Harris is directly responsible for) and the raging wars abroad.

Anyway I hope republicans are smart on now they approach all this. Yes Trump had gone through hell on earth in the last year. He’s gone through more trial by fire insanity (both literarily and figuratively) than any president in US history. The failed assassination attempt has lots of republicans thinking they had a November in the bag. But they can NOT get complacent no matter how tempting it is.

Anyway this race isn’t over until Lizzo sings.

Help then now and help them in November

Help them now but hurt them in November

Makes little difference

Hurt them now but help them in November

Hurt them now and hurt them November.

Just FYI Harris isn’t a “new face” or “fresh” candidate. She’s the Biden administration. Her far left policies directly contributed to hyperinflation, the border crisis and chaos abroad.

If you vote for her you vote for the Biden Administration but WORSE. Do people really want four more years of hyperinflation, a flood of illegals and ongoing wars abroad?

[Jersey2]

They will shore up their black female vote… but they already had those. Now she runs on Biden’s accomplishments or rather, the disaster he left us. Only stupid people will vote for her out “Identity Politics” because her skin is black and she has a vagina… those are her positive attributes to the public. Those same people will pay with a crap economy afterwards if she were to win.

[AviatorTom]

My gut tells me it's not going to make much of a difference. If Hillary Clinton, with the Clinton legacy and experience as Secretary of State, couldn't beat Trump, Kamala Harris has no real advantage over Biden running.

[Asker]

Kamala is going to see a short term bump for the next few weeks but it won’t last. Many Americans really don’t know who she REALLY is. But even though the MSM is pushing all this fake enthusiasm it’s not going to last. She’s going to start getting attention where she doesn’t want it. And Kamala SUCKS at handling tough questions and negative publicity. Her response is it to laugh maniacally like Joaquin Phoenix in The Joker.

[MisterWack]

Everyone on the sites I’ve visited, Democratic family members, myself, etc.

We all agree on one thing, President Biden did the honorable thing and stepped down from seeking reelection to endorse & throw Democratic support to his Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2024 Presidential Election. There has been a rejuvenation of the party I haven’t seen since 2020 honestly. $100 million raised in one day with 67% being new donors to the party for the 2024 cycle even surpassing Trump’s own donations after accepting the nomination of the Republican Party.

We absolutely love this.

[Asker]

Oh I bet you do love this. And yes Kamala Harris has seen a bump in cash and poll voting.

But the thing is most voters do NOT really know who Kamala Harris is. She’s got more skeletons in her closet than a Halloween party. She’s even less charismatic than Hillary Clinton (not an easy feat to pull off). Her approval rating is was even lower the Biden’s for most his term. That’s also not an easy feat to pull off. It’s one of the reasons Biden was RELUCTANT to resign as 2024 candidate. He knows the truth: she completely sucks. The ONLY reason she was selected as VP is because she is a black woman. And it’s not me saying that, that’s Biden saying that back in 2020. He flat out said “we are gong to select a black woman as VP” BEFORE he even announced any names. She’s a DEI beneficiary.

So enjoy the short term optimism. Enjoy it while it lasts. But the focus is going to shift all over to Kamala including from where she doesn’t want it. Sure MSM is pushing all this fake enthusiasm right now. But get her awkwardly and manically laughing like Joaquin Phoneix in the Joker whenever she’s asked a tough question on camera. Hard reality will again bite the democrats in the ass.

But to be fair there is even more pressure on the RNC not to something stupid. Trump has been uncharacteristically more self disciplined lately. If he can keep that up the democrats are going to be in big trouble.

[MisterWack]

I hate Hillary Clinton, also I think this is a good thing not knowing who she is.

Trump is loud and proud also annoying amounts of in your face with convicted felon on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to make it look like they need a reimbursement that isn’t about NDA (since lying to the bank for money is a crime especially on official documents & papers), $25 million paid back to the victims of Trump University scam, civilly liable rapist, didn’t keep his promises in 2016(I know as a former Trump supporter), Election denialism, 300+ classified documents stolen, etc.

Trump is a flat out liar as we all saw at the debate: Trump is a liar & traitor at the debate for admitting he knew about the attack and didn’t do anything, I would like to remind everyone that one of the many powers that a President has is MOVING TROOPS without Congress’ permission however can’t declare war without Congress’ permission. In the debate, Trump admitted that he controlled the National Guard to control a peaceful protest on the streets so, he could do a photo-op holding a Bible upside down. “It’s a Bible”(when asked by press if it was his). So to lie that Nancy Pelosi had some sort of ‘Girl Power’ stronger than the POTUS is a bold faced lie. In addition, Trump during the debate ADMITTED he knew that chaos would attack the Capitol yet still provided the buses to his supporters to get to the Ellipse, still told his people to go to the Capitol, and still Tweeted, “Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”

[Asker]

I could have a long response to what you said above but it will never change your mind. But at least with Trump Americans KNOW what they are getting regardless if they like him or not.

Kamala (like HRC) will change her mind like the wind to say whatever what she thinks voters want to hear. Then laugh the most nails on chalkboard laugh when she’s questioned about her hypocrisies.

But again most Americans never noticed that but they will NOW. And the way Biden is STILL president. If he blunders a policy again (and he likely will) that actually falls on Kamala now. She’s got the power to 25th amendment him but she hasn’t me why?

Anyway enjoy it while it lasts. But the spotlight is on her now. She absolutely cratered in the primaries when she under pressure. Now the pressure is going to be 10x what is was earlier. And in 2024 Americans are dealing with the REAL consequences of the Biden administration: hyperinflation, border crisis and raging wars abroad. 2020 has come and gone on.

[MisterWack]

You are going to accuse her of changing policies to appease her voter base, there is no history of that since those policies and standing ground got them The White House in 2020.

Trump already has changed his stance on TikTok while openly admitting they spy on Americans and utilize their data for nefarious purposes. He also changed his policy stance on Obamacare, you remember his “BIG PLAN” to replace it (I do since that is one reason I supported him) he now supports expanding Obamacare (Biden beat him to the punch)

Trump flip flopped on abortion stance, gun stance, etc.

Now lets compare who kept promises and who didn’t: Trump promised Infrastructure, Veteran Benefits, Afghan Pullout, Fixing The Border, Repeal Affordable Care Act / Replace it with better plan, bring jobs back, etc.(Republican Majority in House & Senate in 2017)
President Biden & VP Kamala Harris were the ones who Delivered! Infrastructure, Veteran Benefits via Pact Act, Afghan Pullout, Kept in place Trump’s border policies however closed the border recently via Executive Order also has proposed Fentanyl Detectors which Republicans voted against, Expanded Affordable Care Act, and brought thousands of jobs via Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, Chips And Science Act bringing thousands of manufacturing for microchips (Democratic Majority In House & Senate 2021)

I say these things since they matter. Kamala Harris can run on those successes while Trump cannot since he failed to pass them, achieve them, and get it done even when the cards were stacked with him not against. Republican Majority wasted!

“People are dying that’s true. It is what it is”.
“Disinfectant knocks it out in a minute… Is there something we could do by…. Injection… Inside the body”. “I always played it down, I didn’t want to create a panic”. “This is more deadly than your most strenuous flus”.

What "switcheroo"? SHE WON THE PRIMARY. She and Biden were voted in, and now Biden's stepped down. This is exactly what's supposed to happen when a candidate is unwilling or unable to fulfill their duties.

Democrat voters didn't choose Biden; they chosen Biden and Harris. You can't fault the party for following basic the electoral process. When Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy were shot, they didn't hold new elections; they handed power over to Johnson, Arthur, Roosevelt, and the other Johnson. When Nixon resigned, Ford took over.

Why do so many people object to democracy being upheld?

[AviatorTom]

@NamerOfStars The ballots I saw in the primaries didn't have Harris's name on them, just Biden's. So what do you tell those who voted in the primaries and caucuses for Biden now that their vote was meaningless? Is that true democracy, which the Dems claim to support?

[NamerOfStars]

@AviatorTom That's odd- the ones I saw DID. If what you're saying is true, then yes, at least SOME people didn't vote for her. Let me look in to this.

[normalice]

It wasn't a really a switch since everyone already knew Harris was Bidens successor. That's actually pretty common among presidents who don't try to get their vice president hanged.

[AviatorTom]

@normalice There was never any evidence that Kamala Harris would be Biden's successor.

You might want to check your history books. Seven (7) of the twenty-one (21) two-term Presidents changed VPs for their second term, and only 3 sitting VPs were ever elected as President (2 in the early 1800s: Adams and Jefferson) and 1 (George HW Bush) in 1988, almost 200 years later..

[normalice]

Kamala is his VP. That's not "evidence" so much as "what a VP is."

As for changing VPs there is usually a reason behind it so the public can see it coming. Like trying to get a VP hanged.

[Anonymous]

Stop pretending you care about the primary results. Like less than 1% of those 14 million voters are upset about it. You racist misogynists are going to get to cry twice as many tears as you do now every day for four years when she wins.

[paledreams]

I voted as an Aussie makes little difference option 😋

[paledreams]

I take my poll option back - Harris for President y'all :)

[gorydetails]

Kamala is an Indian woman, not black.

[Jersey2]

Indian mother and Jamaican father. She is black.

[Jersey2]

And married to a white dude

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doug_Emhoff

[gorydetails]

@Jersey2 lmao. She's whatever she thinks gives her the most DEI points.

[Asker]

Joe Biden himself said “I am going to choose a black woman as a running mate” back in 2020 before he even announced any names.

You are correct about her being an Indian woman. But she’s definitely milked the “black woman” identity politics to her advantage. But according to democrats it’s “racist” for me to point that out or something. It’s only okay to say that if you are supporting her.

I really could give two shits what a presidents race and/or gender is. I only care about their actual ABILITY. She failed miserably in the 2020 primaries but she also “failed upward”. Biden was so pathetic and spineless he selected her even though she accused him of racism during the 2020 primaries.

[Jersey2]

If she had Trump’s positions and drive, I would have voted for her but she doesn’t. Some people are swayed by Identity Politics so much they vote against their own success.

[Asker]

@Jersey2 I expect SOME of this in November. But Kamala is NO female Obama. Hell no. She’s got horrible approval ratings and she’s not charismatic at all.

A lot of people are going to quietly vote against her.

[Jersey2]

Yep, that is why the vote is in secret. You can say one thing and vote another. Why get combative with crazy neighbors or family, just vote how you really feel.

[gorydetails]

@Jersey2 All this "kamala raised the most money evar in 24 hours!" was just money laundering right in everyone's faces.

[Asker]

Expect things to get rough for Trump the next couple weeks. I see Harris briefly polling better than Trump.

But a lot people really don’t even know who Kamala Harris really is. But all that is going to come out in plain sight soon. The RNC needs to play smart and keep the negative focus on Kamala and shift away quickly from Biden asap.

As dirty as this shady “switcheroo” bs was that doesn’t matter to most voters come November unfortunately. Keep the negative focus on her and Trump will win. But if the negative focus is on Trump he will lose.

[gorydetails]

She will start talking and nuke herself, for sure.
