I mean we've been saying they are both too old. That hasn't changed.

Unless the democrats fuck up and pick someone over 70, it's a good win for them on this point.

I think everyone who had their name pushed and could have a chance at the convention has already endorsed Kamala Harris. They're pretty obviously trying to avoid a contentious convention.

That seems to be the goal. I think it's a good idea to not go too hard on Harris until the convention, but the excitement seems there.

Yeah it's a point they're allowed to make now, don't know how well it's really going to stick though. However so far the best republicans have against Kamala is that she... Laughs? That's a good sign. Like a lot of the stuff people like me on the left have against Kamala is stuff republicans wouldn't want to at her for.

I still really want AOC but with Whitmer bowing out I think Buttigiege is probably it.

Harris is a black woman. No way they're picking a gay man as her running mate. They're worried she has too much for the (X)phobic crowd on her own. I would be absolutely shocked if whoever they pick as her VP isn't a straight white man. You can say what you like about it but that's the reality of where we are as a nation.

The kind of people who would not vote for Harris because she's a Black woman were already going to vote for Trump.

There are absolutely people who are not concerned enough with race or gender to vote for a black woman but are still homophobic. Who knows how many people that is but I would bet a lot of money that the DNC has no intention of finding out.

both? biden isn't running any longer

Yet dropping out didn't make him a single day younger. He's still too old.

How would you know??? I bet it did!

COVID, my ass, Biden been drinking from the fountain of youth. Any day now, he'll become unborn and lay in stasis until ready to be birthed for his next presidential run in 2077 during which he'll battle Mecha-Reagan!

If you don't believe me, ask my neighbor's dog. They're the one who told me all this. Crafty damn dog...
