Without a doubt, VP Harris becoming the Democratic candidate for our party was the best thing to our party, and the

[JohnSJ]

best chance to win in 2024.

She is the energy, stamina the party need, and can articulate the issues clearly, think on her feet, and won't take nonsense or misinformation from anybody, whether it is the media, or her opponents.

1. As much as I loved Joe and felt he got railroaded by the Party....

turns out the Party was right to move on to Kamala. And, I bet Joe is more than OK with this. Does anyone really think he wanted to spend another 4 years as POTUS? I don't think so....and he knows he did the right thing for this country. Kamala has to make him happy that he chose so wisely.

[newdeal2]

3. Depends on who the Party is

Most of them were calling for some sort of "mini primary" or other nonsense. Joe is the first one who endorsed Kamala and set off the tidal wave of support.

[notroot]

5. That's it exactly. Joe made "Dems in ARRAY" the story.

And we've been arrayed every since.

10. When I heard that horse's ass Carville

was promoting that I knew it was stupid.

14. He was forced out by the funders.

Led by Clooney and his crowd. Obama stopped him from running in 2016, tried to stop him in 2020 "never underestimate the ability of Joe to fuck things up", and did stop him in 2024 by his control over the money crowd.

[OAITW r.2.0]

21. "tried to stop him in 2020 "

Damn, I'm glad Obama lost in his attempt.

[stopdiggin]

15. +1. The right move - even though I had big time reservation at the time.

And also felt the treatment he received .... Wasn't sliver of what he (justly) deserved. Nonetheless ....

19. When President Biden was

Candidate Biden he didn't know that he would live four more years, no one knows. So he chose someone who he knew would be able to lead the country. For four years we didn't see that much of her, like we never see that much of any vice president. But now we are able to see what he saw in her when he chose her. In my opinion that is one more reason to have a seasoned politician as a candidate.

The difference between President Biden's choice of Kamala Harris and ex-president Trump's choice of Vance is incredibly stark, and at the same time completely unsurprising.

[Think. Again.]

2. Well said! She really, really is the best thing to happen in a long time! And just when we needed her most!

[lees1975]

4. I agree. I think Joe made the right decision for the country.

I'm not convinced that Biden wouldn't have won re-election. I don't trust the narrative the media has built around this election for their own ratings benefits. And I think most Americans understand the issue in the election is more on the side of character, and less on the side of issues. I think enough Americans are aware that Trump is a disaster waiting to happen and they're not going to put him in the White House.

But I think Joe's endorsement of Harris and her subsequent candidacy has been exactly the right thing to do. We keep talking about needing a large enough win to prevent any election stealing shenanigans on part of the far right. This gives us the chance to get there.

[wnylib]

6. Agree. I think that Joe could have won.

But the energy infusion from MS. Harris is good. And Joe did the right thing in endorsing her when he decided not to run. He knew that she would carry on the liberal policies that they supported as a team together and add some of her own. He also prevented chaos by endorsing her.

He will still be available for his foreign policy vision and expertise. He is a great man and great president. He has passed the torch and she is burning the right people with it.

7. Woman

W-O-M-A-N. It's as simple as that, though many men will not agree.

[multigraincracker]

8. I have a badge I wear all the time....

Strong
Men for
Kamala.


Got it from a fellow UAW member from Flint.

[byronius]

16. I agree.

But her background is the best. I watched her rise here in California — always honest, great ideas. She’s a New Type of politician, gender aside. She has chops, and she’s a great leader.

[Politicub]

9. Trump is worn out

Mentally and physically. He can’t keep up with VP Harris’s energy.

That’s why he keeps canceling appearances. His tank is empty.

[Vogon_Glory]

18. I think it's more than age and fatigue

I believe that Donald John is mentally decomposing.

[speak easy]

11. Joe CHOSE Kamala TWICE.

First, as his running mate in 2020 after her lackluster primary campaign, and second by endorsing her immediately after withdrawing this year, with perfect timing, putting the RNC convention in the rear view mirror.

As Nancy Pelosi said later, she was in favor of a mini contest of candidates, but Joe shut that door. And, as Nancy also said, she was impressed at how quickly (and clinically) Kamala tied everything up.

So if you agree that Kamala is the right candidate for our time, the person to thank is none. other. than. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.

[Dem4life1234]

12. She is just so amazing!

Love her energy and spunk!

[keithbvadu2]

13. For the dem primary, Dotard said Biden was going to take back the campaign. Now, he again wants it to happen,

[DSandra]

17. Not just that, but she has personality!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. She'll be 60 on Sunday.

She was the best option to Joe for sure in large part because he understood the essential need for a smooth transition to Harris as the nominee and needed the election of 2020 in order to receive essential and required validity as the new nominee. Knowing how much this decision and total acceptance of her is lauded and cheered must eat at Dump. Hopefully it will never stop.

It also gives the VP a new found cachet

[Arthur_Frain]

22. I honestly can't disagree.

We may end up with an historic win because of her.

[Tribetime]

23. I agree 100%....I expect a Landslide Victory
