Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: It bothers me that Harris's attack on Biden was apparently coldly calculated in advance, [View all]wiley
(2,921 posts)I'm looking for a leader to be POTUS, not an Attorney General. If she thinks she can get voters to the polls after providing some sort of catharsis, she'd best be getting to the states that voted red before she goes after a fellow Democrat. She also better crack into the social networking avalanche about to hit us all that the GOP has been working on for many years now.
This is about electoral college votes. We would already have a woman President if this was a Democracy. Harris overplayed her hand, regardless of how good it made people feel. Biden, however, should have been prepared - or at least more awake. He could have easily said I'm sorry in an empathetic manner and moved on. Even Thump knows to do that, although it's always a lie.
They all have to understand that they need to win a general election, not a Democratic primary in which maybe 20 million people voted last time.
She has already alienated some of the people we really need on our side. Either way, they both will recover and hopefully kiss on the debate stage the next time.
If not, we still have at least a dozen other candidates that people will vote for if they don't attack each other in this manner. I want to know what they are going to do to lead. Anyone of them (well...) will beat Thump if they can get everyone to the polls.
This shit they are all doing about oh he or she would make a great VP for me and not the other way around is beyond stupid.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
