    Another GREAT JOB by Joe Biden.

    Harris
    Hillary
    Newsome
    Buttigeg

    Pretty sure it'll be Kamala.

    Newsom, Whitmer, et all...no one will want to inherit his campaign and will target 2028. One interesting thing about Whitmer though is that she does want to be the first woman president and obviously Kamala winning would prevent that. I do think Whitmer is the better candidate, especially as the GOP struggles with women and Whitmer is from a state the Dems NEED to win.

    My personal wish is a Newsom/Whitmer ticket, in any direction. I think that wins. I can sleep peacefully with that.

    Kamala makes me nervous. I have no issues with her but she's just unlikable. There is a Hilary thing about her where she's just hard to like. It's hard to explain. Obviously, anyone but Trump, I'd vote for her, but I hope they have an open convention.

    Kamala is a generic milquetoast Democrat that the average non incel community would not be triggered with. That is good enough against Trump with how much more popular Democrat policy positions are compared to GOP positions and the fact that Trump is a maniac. So milquetoast generic democrat who can speak is good enough.

    She might be the safest choice due to time constraints mostly with organization

    Exactly. Was it perfect? No. Was it better than expected? Yes.

    This is the type of adult behavior only one party seems to be capable of nowdays.

    It's time for a woman president. The men are out of control...especially with the BS.

    Wow, what a surprise! </s>

    The Democrats should have allowed the primaries to happen as intended... you know democratically, instead of putting their thumbs on the scale again as they did in 2016 and 2020. This would be funny if it wasn't real life.

    I think you're correct.

    The problem is most of the female candidates are awful.

    Kamala is a less experienced version of Hillary with even more strikes against her because she’s black

    I think she’d beat Trump, but I could see a Newsome/Whitmore ticket demolishing MAGA in 2024

    I feel like that is a terminal issue until a woman actually does become president.

    Women candidates have a automatic uphill battle in terms of charisma because when they complain about an issue many see it as "b****ing" or "whining".

    It's a social construct issue.

    The people selected him as their candidate and now the elite will chose his replacement. That isn’t democratic at all.

    Hunter Biden will now be pardoned after the election one way or another.......Biden has no reason not to do it.

    Will be interesting to see how the open convention goes.....and whom gets chosen - but now the narrative of too old shifts to the mumbling dumbass Trump.

    Most of the candidates are awful because they’re representing an awful electorate.
