I’m not going to do the work to get around that paywall and I need more of a TL;DR than the bot gives cuz I can’t figure out who they are talking about beyond Whitmer in the summary.
Any kind soul want to copy pasta some key quotes?
But on Whitmer…
Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, who supported a successful ballot initiative to enact abortion protections and who enjoys a roughly 61 percent approval rating in a politically fractious swing state, where a local militia plotted to kidnap her.
I mean thats kind-of a big fucking deal. She’s pretty progressive. But not DSA progressive. Winning Michigan. That’s a big state.
Realistically however, there is the elephant in the room which is a question lingering in African American voters minds (links if needed) which is, OK not Biden, but isn’t that why we have Harris? And if you side step Harris, like… good fucking luck getting African American women to vote for you.
And honestly, I’m so broken by the modern DNC, I don’t give a shit. I’ll take the shitty mom-joke DARE cop. I’ll drop my ass out of a coconut tree. Just give me someone who is at least competitive. Maybe that means Harris gets sidestepped, but damn that sure looks fucking bad if you do. Unless its for Michelle Obama. Then we can just cruise to victory.
The sad honest truth is probably that there are more bigoted people out there that won’t vote for a Dem if it isn’t a white guy than people who would add votes to one who isn’t, particularly in swing states. Maybe I’m too cynical…
As for replacements, even the people who some polls show as being slightly more popular than Biden haven’t been through anywhere near as much of a dedicated smear campaign as he has, and if they were, we don’t know how they’d poll.
Say what? Obama got in office twice. Why does everything have to with race in the democrat party?
Oh, there’s talented democrats?
