Ugh, id probably vote for kamala for being younger. But shes got a very low approval rating and has a lot of the same baggage Biden has, over the gaza situation and the border.
I just thought of a pretty optimistic angle though, if Biden drops out and a new candidate runs, its their first term. With someone younger winning gives them a better chance at using whats supposed to be a huge incumbency advantage for 8 more years of dems controlling the whitehouse at least.
VP Harris was there to do Biden’s bidding. Candidate Harris can say she has different ideals and policies. Not as clean a break as someone from outside the administration, but a lot of Democrats are eager to put those things behind them and will take a wishy washy statement as enough to focus on all the other stuff they’re worried about.
Even the Uncommitted campaigns about actual genocide happening were extremely reasonable in their demands. They weren’t requesting the US to sanction Israel or put peacekeepers in Gaza, just stop sending them weapons. They want to focus on the danger Trump represents to their community, they just can’t do that while there’s an active genocide being meaningfully supported by the guy they’d be trying to get people to volunteer for.
