33. Sorry but Kamala can't win. We saw how she performed in the primary

Initially I thought many African Americans would be upset if they replaced Kamala. However, I have been talking to my family and friends. Everyone is saying that we need to win. They don’t care who is running as the Democrat as long as Trump does not win.

79 percent of Democrats approve of Harris replacing Biden if he steps aside: poll [View all] TheProle Jul 2024 OP

I was polled on this question BlueInPhilly Jul 2024 #1

The voters don't matter anymore. The big question is Bettie Jul 2024 #2

Obviously. Putting someone else at the top of the ticket would be a disaster. Ocelot II Jul 2024 #3

Its a loser move BigMin28 Jul 2024 #14

The hill? Really. I live in Ohio and used to live in Pa...also Wisconsin... I fear she won't take the rustbelt. Demsrule86 Jul 2024 #4

Thanks for your concern TheProle Jul 2024 #7

She's the logical choice... Dennis Donovan Jul 2024 #5

And eliminate the voters? Deek1935 Jul 2024 #8

I still support President Biden' run, but in lieu of him continuing, I think VP Harris is a fine choice n/t Dennis Donovan Jul 2024 #12

And many do not think she is the best choice. You are advocating eliminating the voters. It's dictatorial. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #21

Many do think she's the logical choice. Ever see her debate? Dennis Donovan Jul 2024 #29

As if a presidential election was EVER decided by a debate. Jesus Christ! This is all sheer fucking INSANITY. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #43

If it weren't Harris the Democratic Party would splinter into pieces underpants Jul 2024 #13

Democratic Party will splinter into pieces with any replacement, period krawhitham Jul 2024 #17

And on the other side of the coin, much as we all love Kamala, many would say she can not win the GENERAL election. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #23

This is why Biden needs to stay no matter what. I'm convinced Harris would be a disaster on top of the ticket. tritsofme Jul 2024 #6

She would only be a disaster because of how she got there. Freethinker65 Jul 2024 #22

She would have to win the general election, and with the incumbent we lose the incumbency and party unity keys. Deek1935 Jul 2024 #26

I don't think she is capable of winning the nomination on her own, let alone the general election. tritsofme Jul 2024 #27

can't wait for him to be nominated bigtree Jul 2024 #9

If Joe were to withdraw he should announce tonight around 9 EST and endorse Kamala OrlandoDem2 Jul 2024 #10

But note that they are extremely divided on whether they think Harris has a better chance of winning. This is NONSENSE! Deek1935 Jul 2024 #11

On the upside polls aren't predictive this far out BannonsLiver Jul 2024 #16

So it could change for Joe too? krawhitham Jul 2024 #20

Of course BannonsLiver Jul 2024 #34

recent polling (July 17th) has Harris polling 1-3 points worse than Joe krawhitham Jul 2024 #15

So no need to replace Biden. Freethinker65 Jul 2024 #18

THANK YOU!!!! GoCubsGo Jul 2024 #25

My gut feeling is Biden will be forced to doc03 Jul 2024 #19

Why is this even a poll? EarlG Jul 2024 #28

My Question, As Well ProfessorGAC Jul 2024 #38

And all they have to do is vote for Biden, who is currently doing the job well. If he dies or becomes incapacitated ms liberty Jul 2024 #30

She is already on the ticket. pandr32 Jul 2024 #31

Vice President Harris is very popular within the Democratic Party, but not outside of it. And that's the problem. markpkessinger Jul 2024 #41
