Moms vs Nazis. And still conservatives pick the Nazis.

Yep, and Ricky & Co. will be stumping for a smarter, shrewder kind of fascist.

Biden still at +8.6 down from a high of +9.6 in the 538 aggregate.

Long way to go and who knows who Dump will declare war on in the final month. Maybe those shifty-eyed Bulgarians.

Biden should be up by 30 points at this stage.

Well, if we're playing "Should" Dump should be in prison.

Keep pushing on all fronts. This has the potential to be a realigning election that wipes out 40 years of Plute fascism. Just keep riding it. As of now we've been doing fine.

Harris is a smart choice, both for the politics and because she's completely capable of taking over. Leak some cabinet slots here and there to appeal to particular factions. Campaign to the center, govern to the far, far left (which is to say, the center of the country before the Nazis began to change it).

3 decades ago, he would be. Since then, half the country got screwed so hard by the plutes that they've decided it's better to elect an incompetent, thin-skinned, fascistic carnival barker to burn it all down. Better that than to run the risk of a Bush or a Clinton or Joe Biden, with the help of the rest of the DC career lobbyists and bureaucrats, selling out what's left of their factory jobs and sending their sons to die in another meaningless Middle East conflict.

Beating a dead horse on this one, but could not disagree more on Harris. If she is the nominee Trump has a chance. Susan Rice is a million times better, both as a candidate and in the situation she actually had to take over. There is a reason Harris did so poorly in the primary.

Obsessing over the Veep and fault finding with whoever is chosen is falling into a trap. To quote an esteemed peer, it's the "Tiger Beat on the Potomac" gimmick of political gossip just to roil the waters and have something to kvetch about.

It's inventing agita for its own sake.

Any of the finalists are fine choices. Whichever of the cheerleaders you go home with, be happy.

Time will tell. It's not as much about how I personally feel about her as much as it is about who gets Biden over the line. I think Harris plays great in Cali and DC but not as much in the places it really counts.

Harris is an opportunist. Rice is the real deal. Sadly, we do not elect the latter in this country anywhere near often enough.

They are politicians.

They are all opportunists.

Yes, Harris is TERRIBLE choice for a Republican running mate.

A black woman is going to be toxic with racists and misogynists. We are going to lose the conservative vote. Gee whiz.

That's exactly how I see it. I think having a candidate of substance would be a boon given where the country is right now.
