Now do Trump. What makes him drop out?
The humiliation of losing to a black woman.
The past months the mood in America has been: not these two old geezers again.
I am honestly optimistic that it’s going to be a landslide for the Democrats without Biden. Americans are just sick of Trump and they didn’t want Biden to run again.
So the Democrats are giving the people what they want, while the Republicans are trying to force feed them something they don’t want.
Let’s see how this plays out.
I’m still a little worried with how racist and sexist even Democrat voters tend to be. Hopefully the excitement of not having an 80 year old as the candidate outweighs subconscious bias.
Obama won by healthy margins in '08 and '12, and Hillary – the least likeable candidate that’s made it to the top of the Democratic ticket since Dukakis – still won the popular vote. I think the people who would vote against a black woman for President were never going to vote for a Democrat in the first place, and given the general aura of relief and enthusiasm I’ve seen in left wing spaces since the announcement I think Harris is going to be riding a wave of support from the left, even if half of it is just from people who are glad they don’t have to hold their noses to support a doddering octogenarian because the alternative is fascism.

You clearly don’t understand the American voter. Ever canvased for a candidate?
People hold some truly ridiculous combinations of political views.
I can’t even tell you how many people had both Bernie and Trump as their top two candidates in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
My only concern is the demographic that would have been too lazy to vote but now will be frothing at the mouth to vote against a black woman.
I can only hope they’re outweighed by the demographic that was apathetic toward Biden but is willing to get off the couch to vote for Harris.
These people couldn’t accept a white mean beating their white man. I look forward to their civil, humble response to their now anointed god being beaten by a black woman.

I think we all miss Trump.
But some of us are working on our aim.
For legal reasons, to my FBI agent: this is a joke. I don’t even own a gun, man… You know this.

They actually don’t know, unfortunately. The gun manufacturers and their lobbyists have made sure of that.
