Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours afterĀ President BidenĀ announced heĀ was suspendingĀ his reelection campaignĀ and endorsingĀ Vice President Harris,Ā Vote.org said.
Vote.orgĀ said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.
Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.
I feel like a broken record as I keep repeating this, some agree some disagree I dont care.
Mark Kelly sucks. He opposes Medicare for all. Opposing Medicare for all is NOT a moderate position. It is definitively a right of center or conservative position. This is one of my personal deal breakers.
He also opposes the green new deal, as well as supported expanding oil drilling.
If these types of issues donāt bother you then thatās your prerogative.
Losing Arizona bothers me.
This, exactly. We have a history of winning the popular vote and losing the election. We can argue about how terrible the EC is later, but that fact is not going to be changed before the election. We need to win the EC.
Harris is a California Democrat. She will easily win the blue states that anyone with a ā(D)ā after their name would win, and she will almost certainly take the popular vote. But that isnāt enough to win a presidential election.
Kelly is a unicorn. He is a Democrat that has the demonstrated ability to win in a red state. He will win any state that Harris will win, and he has a good chance at poaching enough voters to turn some otherwise red states competitive.
Harris might squeak through a win if we are very, very lucky.
Kelly will beat Trump like a rented redheaded stepmule.
The other senator form the same state also won as a Democrat. That doesnāt mean Harris should select her.
Are you suggesting he be the nominee for president? In 2024?
I think he has a better chance than Harris at winning the election. I think the negatives attributed to him are positions held by his constituents, and are not unreasonable in context. I think he is progressive, but pragmatic.
Yes, Iād put him at the top of the ticket.
That doesnāt mean Iāll āBernie or Bustā for him.
They donāt bother me because heās one person and we need absolutely every Democrat we can get to enact any change.
If losing gracefully āwith idealsā and going further right in reality because Republicans control things doesnāt bother you then thatās your prerogative.
