Vice President Kamala Harris appears to have energized Democrats in the early days of her candidacy, with the surge in warm feelings extending across multiple groups, including some key Democratic constituencies that had been tepid about President Joe Biden.

    I think many were before. Just because someone did not feel biden needed to drop did not mean they would be unsatisfied with harris.

      The idea that Biden didn’t need to drop out was where they went wrong.

      Everyone who didn’t want Biden to drop out needs to reevaluate how they look at politics, because the benefits of doing so should have been extremely obvious even without hindsight.

        I was one of those that thought biden shouldn’t drop out, because I was worried about the risk of infighting breaking out over who would replace him, distracting everyone and driving away voters, and I was also concerned about throwing away the incumbent advantage. I still feel the risks of that happening were real and valid, but I’m immensely pleased that those worries didn’t come to pass and everyone immediately unified behind Harris.

        I feel like Cassandra 'cuz I keep getting downvotes whenever I speak true prophecy or ask people to use hindsight to reckon with why their judgements were incorrect.

          There is a blue flavor of the MAGA mindset. Just say don’t want your tax dollars supporting an active genocide and watch those downvotes pile up

            Ignorant take.

            Huge post yesterday about Israel blowing up a water facility.

            All the comments “durrrr, another one? See it’s genocide!”

            No. It’s the same one fifteen other people have posted about it’s still based on an unverified second-hand “report.” Still doesn’t give enough details to verify underlying story is even based on real places or events.

            It’s Iranian- and Qatari- sponsored lawfare, seeping into the media discourse through repetition. And it really drowns out the handful of legit war crimes and murders that have occured.
