To be honest I was worried the US would be just too sexist and too racist for it to work but I am pleasantly surprised. Back when Hillary was running, we saw a lot of ugly stuff and I am sure they will try that again but somehow I don't think its is going to work as well at this point in time and with this candidate.
The felon has been throwing out vile crap continuously for years now and I think its impact has worn thin and he is weaker than he was. I feel confidant Harris will be much better equipped to fight back than Clinton was.
Clinton was kind of forced on the democrats, and they saw how Bernie- a serious contender- was railroaded out.
That, and a lot of voter apathy going- "no way will Trump win."
I feel a lot better about Harris than Clinton.
Bernie is such a cool dude. I really want to see a timeline where he became president
Clinton did win the primary (even without super delegates), so “forced on democrats” is only true in a sense. She was certainly the preferred candidate of party leadership, and they did everything they legally could to help her win. Major center and center left news outlets also seemed to do everything they could to help her win.
But I don’t think harris is any better in that regard. She has not won a primary, Clinton at least managed to win the primary. Arguably Harris has been even more forced upon Democratic voters.
I suspect that this is going to become a huge issue and talking point later on.
Well put, technically correct but viscerally wrong on every human regard. You sound like canned AI.
I wanted a primary, we didn’t get that, and the media is pushing Harris hype really hard right now, just like they pushed for Clinton.
To me, this feels like 2016 all over again, that’s MY visceral reaction. Fucking weird to accuse some one of being an AI because they disagreed with your assessment.
Nah, only because your sentence selection sounded canned, like I've seen the same sentences again and again by, you know.....bots.
So anyway, she was voted into office to take over if Biden died and no, there wasn't a primary for her but Biden is done and you gotta make the choice between a shit sandwich and a douche.
I get what you're saying.
That's what a well trained AI would say...

I want to argue.... but I can't. You're right.
