Dropping the candidate after the primaries is a very weak look though. Luckily they nailed the hand-off and dem energy is high overall, so it definitely paid off.
I kinda figured even if they didn’t yeet biden, my vote would go to kamala anyway because his age is really catching up with him.
Nothing could possibly look weaker than Biden after his CNN debate against Trump, where Biden “beat Medicare”. And even after that Liberals still ardently defended him as the best candidate. After Biden dropped out they say he’s ‘strong for realizing he needs to drop out’. Reality is Biden polled awful, even worse than Trump and he needed to go. Liberals were so unwilling to concede on any criticism out of fear to lose votes that they made up any excuse to deny it.
The only person that actually seems popular in the campaign right now is Tim Walz.
Throughout her campaign, Harris publicly struggled with her stances on issues ranging from health care, where she initially said she supported getting rid of private insurance plans and then released a health care plan that left a large role for private insurers, to busing, which she successfully cornered former Vice President Joe Biden on from the debate stage but then struggled to come up with her own position on the matter.
But as long as Democrats they can succesfully fearmonger Trump hard enough it won’t matter what their policies are. Liberals will justify anything for “not Trump”.
Very few believed Joe wast the best choice, they just really didn’t want Trump, hence the popularity of Harris despite not being incumbent.
Many of the most prominent liberals on Lemmy were ardently defending Biden as choice. They explicitly said they they did not want Biden swapped.
If they wanted to win from Trump there would be no reason to support Biden if they did not think him best pick.
Unless there is some kind of Blue MAGA movement that will justify anything as long as the other candidate does not win…

Kamala is an incredibly bad and unpopular candidate as well. People seem to have forgotten she ran in 2020 and was like the first to drop out. The problem with Kamala is the same as in 2020. She makes big promises but somehow her actual plans are the exact opposite

Bullshit propaganda
