A poll like this is meaningless, the population being vetted have not been campaigned to with her at the top of the ticket. We already saw what that looks like

Think if suggesting killing just some protestor counts you have to consider Obama actually assassinated a US citizen with no due process.

Bush (and maybe it's more accurate to say Cheney) was probably the closest we got to a dictatorship, more damage done to institutions on his guard than any modern Presidency. There wasn't even an ICE to become our nascent SS before Bush. But the opportunity was there with or without him.

Oh that would rule. Either way it's hightime the Midwest asserted itself. Much less toxic state Parties there than NY/CA.

I think engaging in a little romantic reverie is fine and healthy. The equivalency to QAnon is just ludicrous, the left version of QAnon is Russiagate.

So if you're pro-Biden the thing seems to be to encourage the replacement talk. Unless you actually just like Biden

I think the key horserace question right now is does a shadow replacement campaign ultimately help or hurt Biden? Seems like it's a nice holding pattern actually, a lot like the first part of the 2020 primary where a cloud of phony moderate candidates helped disguise Biden's manifest evil.

Gavin's fine. I hate the bastard but he can play Generic Democrat effectively, or at least has never really failed at it. Whitmer or Pritzker I don't follow but they seem basically competent.

Her campaign flopped hard. She tried to fake more progressive positions than she held and she couldn't sell it. Now she has no base or identity except with parasocial internet freaks.

She's crap at the job and everyone knows it. Yang was outpolling her in her home state. I think a few KHice die hards try to kick something up for a day, then we all forget about Harris forever.

Both Gore personally and Democrats generally get painted as weak on foreign policy. It's hard to imagine a Gore Presidency that gets reelected in 2004 (would have to be absurdly hawkish). So we're really talking about can Gore fix the trajectory for a Bush or McCain 2004 term in late 2001-2004.

Eh, I don't think the mechanics matter. Democratic leadership privately decides on someone and they cough them up at the Convention. Democrats are sheep, they won't make a fuss.

Hard to know how the Global War on Terror would play out with a Democrat to start it off. Given the current incumbent Democrat was an enthusiastic booster for the Iraq War hard to say that would have been avoided

Liberals are incapable of self critique because they've made the functioning of their ideology and their own agency invisible to themselves. Point out the consequences of how some liberal behaved in the past and they'll stare at you wall-eyed.

Over time this has the demonstrable effect of a diffuse, easily bullied rank and file afraid to even ask for consistent primaries from their Party. A Party that does less for a base with more serious needs.

And they know this, they're constantly concerned with different identity boxes to manage their constituencies. Which they do very carefully with the intention of manicuring a collection of constituencies that have the least possible demands on them.

Since there's so many more non-white non-hets, etc. The problem is that because there's so many more possible constituents, the Party can be picky. It can choose to serve some fraction of it's possible constituency and ignore others and still retain rough comparability with the GOP.

So they're stuck with the hooting CHUDS and give in to their fancies, even at sometimes suicidal-seeming political cost. Now with Democrats, they're nominally the Party for everyone who's not that specific kind of person. Seems great if you want to hold power in at least sometimes democratic system

They can try to expand out the definitions, be less racist/misogynistic/etc. They are sometimes successful at this, but it takes a lot of capital and there's diminishing returns at some point with losing more of their core identities for the increasingly diverse outliers.

The rank and file members of their base have a lot of power over the GOP and make a lot more stringent demands. Partly ofc this is because they are otherwise privileged ppl, but esp in this context the GOP leadership can be compelled to listen because they don't have anyone else to go to.

I feel like a lot of the partisan assymetries make more sense when you take into account that Dems have more choice of constituency than the GOP does. The GOP is centered around serving one particular kind of person. The White male cishet WASP, etc.

When you get down to it you have one Party that serves it's base and another who base serves the Party. Give Biden all the lasers eyes in the world. If the base can't turn on them for not delivering the Dems will never get off their ass.
