Kamala is going to get her ass handed to her by Trump. Democrats seem to hyperfocus on the misogyny and racism of the Republican Party while forgetting that many of their own voters carry those traits.

I think democrats fundamentally misunderstand a good chunk of the voters they are trying to sell those policies too. This is why they keep losing the latino vote to trump more and more...
This is why I kept pushing back on all the "Biden has to drop out" posts in here with "Oh yeah? Who should take his spot?" responses, because the likelyhood of them picking Kamala was the strongest, and you guys wouldn't be satisfied with that choice anyway.
Maybe, maybe not. There's a difference between indifference and dislike. As far as I can tell there's nothing incredibly offensive about her unless you're a leftist (they call her Cop-Mala) or a mysoginist or racist ala the MAGA crowd.
I am not from the US, I don't vote anyways. And my comments were never to not vote for biden, just that that potato wasn't going to beat the felon. And now my comment is that kamala likely isn't beating the felon either because basically no one likes her or her inexistent policies. This is on the democratic party for having literally nothing to stand on.
That's fine, but you gotta know how annoying it is for people to keep pointing out problems and not offering solutions.
That's Democrat's job. Its on them for being incompetent virtue signaling jackasses without anything resembling principles, decency or policy.
I know it's their job, but that doesn't take responsibility away from American civilians, especially the ones who claim to be democrats or left leaning. But for you to say "I'm not a American, it doesn't effect me. But also, let me point out all the things you guys did wrong" is worthless if it doesn't come with an answer on how to fix it. Criticism isn't welcome if it isn't constructive. Othwerise it's just kicking someone while they're down.

We'll see. I'm more confident than I was for Biden, but we'll see how much dirt can be dug up on her in the next 4 months.

Yeah, those polls aren't gonna change within 24 hours, but we'll see how things look after a month. Most of Kamala's unfavorable opinions toward her aren't as severe as Biden's were, and are only severe to further left leaning people. I don't see anything about her that would scare off swing voters that wouldn't have scared them away from Biden. But scaring them off and not motivating them to vote for here are two different things.Politics News | Breaking Political News, Video & Analysis-ABC News

Both biden and kamala are less popular than trump. Somehow.... With kamala democrats have some hope I guess but she is still a deeply, deeply unpopular candidate. I don't see her winning over swing voters tbh. hopefully she picks a vice president people actually like.

The problem with Harris is going to be people who think she's not far left enough, like with Hillary. Her history is pretty moderate. She had a lot of unpopular policies that work well when campaigning for Republicans but not Democrats. When I lived in San Francisco she was pretty infamous for disproportionately locking up POC due to truancy. As I said in another post as well a lot of Democrats have a higher opinion of their supporters than is deserved. The Democrat's voters have similar issues as Republicans - misogyny, racism and homophobia. One of the reasons Buttigieg couldn't secure anything close to a nomination is as a gay man he was wildly unpopular with black and Hispanic voters. A lot of Democrat voters are very much "union voters" who will not trust a woman to run the country. She's got my vote but Democrats are excellent at creating echo chambers and assuming they will win while also failing to strategize.

From what I've seen, that's not the problem. Even if she was far left, she'd still get shit for supporting Israel and for apparently throwing and keeping people, especially Black men, in jail. I think the left would vote for a conservative Democrat if it meant they aligned with the left's beliefs, mainly regarding Israel's genocide of Palestinians and helping with economical issues that people are facing.
They actually handled it well this time. They arrested him without bail and are charging him with three different charges including first degree murder. He's cooked, IMO. They also released the body cam footage fairly quickly. I recall for George Floyd it took a long time to get that.

The craziest thing to me is that things that are ammunition against Democrat candidates are buffs to Republicans. The expectation around Trump is already that he acts like a wild man-baby. He gets a boost no matter what he does. Democrat candidates cannot do things like argue over who would win at golf in a debate, or who has the larger penis, or talk about how many girls they've hooked up with.
