    I’m not gonna pretend that I love Harris, but this does make me energized enough to try and convince others to vote for her.

    I think the hard part is going to be getting Trump to agree to debate her, but she should be able to kick his ass and hit him hard on the issues that matter for this election, as opposed to doddling on a stage arguing about golf.

      I just looked up some of her positions and she does seem a bit more progressive than Biden was. She cosponsored Bernie’s medicare for all bill a few years ago and supports marijuana legalization.

      I think this whole mess could actually be a net positive for democrats as it reinvigorates enthusiasm (“hope and change”, version 2024)

        Yeah painting Harris as a centrist shill was never true.

        She is an ex cop. Isn’t that exactly what we want cops to do? Leave the profession? She’s governed from the left and was just a smidge to the right of warren in the primaries.

        Her time as Vice president has been phenomenal.
