You keep referring to the Dems somehow forcing Biden and Harris off the ticket, that your anecdotal stories of knowing how millions of black women feel about Kamala would abandon her for a white candidate is interesting, which I would love to see as it would fracture the party for a decade. I just don't think black women are going to be ok with the first back VP woman being kicked off the ticket for someone white, but that is just me. I don't know any black women more than casually, so I don't have the experiences you may have of sharing political preferences.
It's like the establishment Repubs repeating time and again you know how far Haley would be ahead if she were the nominee? Yeah, but she is not the candidate so why even talk about it is my point. You play the hand you are dealt and right now it's Trump, Biden and Harris. If Reagan were alive he would beat them all, but he is dead. Something could happen that causes an earthquake in the race I don't know I am not that clairvoyant.
I didn't read this post past the first sentence, but you keep giving entirely baseless takes. I honestly don't think you are cherry picking facts either or intentionally ignoring widely known ones,
I now believe that you likely just don't know what you are talking about but enjoy pretending that you do. There is a stronger by the day consensus forming on the left that Joe needs to step aside - we can all agree on that. If that were to happen Kopmala would be pressured to get out of the way as she is arguably somehow an even weaker candidate than dementia Joe. Pretty simple.
However, I don't think Biden's ego will let himself step down and if he did, I don't think any viable candidate is going to step into this shit show. Both scenarios leave Kopmala on the path to lose a humiliating defeat (unless something drastically changes in the next few months) by default, not because she's some progressive darling or in anyway a historically significant candidate that can't be skipped over. Even if those things were true, nearly every presidential election this century has shown that Democrats will manipulate their nomination process to get the candidate they want regardless of what large blocs of their voters think, with my final point being that Kopmala has no large bloc. -- These are my opinions but they are rooted in factual observations.
