this is what has convinced me. even lib pundits (and a whole bunch of leftists) simply can't stop themselves from arguing about this shit 24/7, and I see no sign they are going to stop ever
The pundits are obsessed with making this only a race to beat Trump—which is exactly the race Hillary lost in 2016 (and Romney lost against Obama in 2012, and Kerry lost against Bush in 2004, and Dole lost against Clinton in 1996, and Mondale lost in 1984…)
Nobody knows how incumbency advantage *really* works, but it's very possible you'd be giving it up with a move like that. And given Trump was president once already, it might go to him
I don’t think a new candidate changes this dynamic it just takes a different form. I wonder if any of this media freak out even penetrates the consciousness of the average voter all that much, especially compared to even a few years ago.
Then we've already lost because they'll also wet their pants on something with Harris. Fortunately some of the dumbest and most cowardly people in the world aren't calling the shots
If Harris gets shoved on the ballot the tone will immediately 180 into "shrill, inexperienced Harris not ready for spotlight; dem insiders want her to meet with the KKK to smooth things over but she won't listen, she's such a bitch, pull her funding"
Pundits need to be eaten.
