And who realistically is a better choice at this point? I can’t think of a single other Democrat with the recognition to pull a presidential campaign together in 3 months.
The only person I have heard that even remotely has a chance of being the pick instead of Harris is Gavin Newsom and he both doesn’t seem to want it and also polls really badly against Trump.
Yeah, he’s widely known outside of California, but largely because he’s a massive punching bag for conservatives. Not a good pick for a presidential race.
I think Gavin Newsom will be a very strong candidate if he had time to prime the pump. Which is I imagine what he was planning to do in 2028. A shorter, if we can call four months short good Lord, campaign is not in his favor.
She performed poorly on the national stage last time she was on it. She has a decent voting record but doesn’t have a lot of sponsored legislation. She has a deep flaw from being a former prosecutor. I’m not aware of her having a passion to fix any particular problems.
I think we can do better and choose someone who can excite the voterbase to get folks to turn up. We need to fight voter apathy.

Just because you’re not aware of something doesn’t mean it isn’t the case.
Let’s see if she can deliver a passionate platform, it’s kinda her entire job as a politician and if I, a hyperaware political person, am not familiar with it, then most people have no fucking clue.
Most people have no fucking clue because she’s been in the shadows for four years as VP and I think it was pretty obvious that Obama’s former VP was going to get the nomination in 2020.
She still has a lot of time for voters to get to know her and your claim of hyperawareness didn’t apparently extend to the fact that a whole lot of presidents have been lawyers.
Why in specific is she a bad choice?

That was almost 4 years ago and she’s been VP since. Things have changed.
They have? She’s now popular enough to excite the base and win a sweeping victory at the convention?
(Also, I don’t know how her being a former prosecutor has changed - and I’m quite doubtful most of my other concerns have shifted either).
So like Joe Biden in 2020 who got elected anyway.
Who gives a shit?
That is in no way a flaw, let alone a deep one.
On top of that, 13 presidents have been lawyers, including Clinton and Obama.

Biden was hardly a foregone conclusion in 2020.
