Democrats have spent the past 2 years pretending that Joe Biden isn’t a senile old fool and that Kamala Harris isn’t a cackling incompetent fool. Much worse, they’ve turned a blind eye to the disaster the two have created and even gaslighted that they’ve done a great job. When it comes down to it however, democrats don’t want either one of these losers on their party ticket in 2024.
Joe Biden hasn’t yet announced whether he’ll seek reelection in 2024, but the general feeling is he won’t because of his age, poor job performance, and diminished mental capacity. That creates a problem for the democrats, because as his illegitimate vp, Kamala Harris should be the one to run in his place, and she straight up sucks.
The New York Times talked to some democratic party insiders, who are in a full-blow state of panic over the idea of Kamala running for president in 2024:
Through much of the fall, a quiet panic set in among key Democrats about what would happen if President Biden opted not to run for a second term. Most Democrats interviewed, who insisted on anonymity to avoid alienating the White House, said flatly that they did not think Ms. Harris could win the presidency in 2024. Some said the party’s biggest challenge would be finding a way to sideline her without inflaming key Democratic constituencies that would take offense.
So they want to get rid of Kamala without pissing off black people? That’s an easy one, because black people, like the rest of the country, hates her. It is funny that the biggest concern for democrats is to make sure they kiss the black community’s ass, though.
The NYT article went on to note: “Even some Democrats whom her own advisers referred reporters to for supportive quotes confided privately that they had lost hope in her.”
She can now add “hopeless” to her resumé along with “incompetent” and “phony.”
While it seems like democrats are hoping Joe decides to run, keeping Kamala from being the party nominee, the truth is, they don’t want his tried old ass either. A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll shows even Biden’s defenders can’t keep up the charade any longer:
In January 2022, 48% of Democrats wanted the president to run for a second term, and in October, 52% of them said Biden should run for reelection. But in the latest poll, support for his reelection among Democrats dropped to 37%.
Overall, only 22% of voters want Biden to run again and with Independents it’s just 12%. Being that underwater with democrats and Independents spells disaster for Joe if he announces his reelection bid. Biden is already down in a hypothetical rematch with Donald Trump, and if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis runs, Joe would get crushed.
Which brings the democrats back to their Kamala Harris problem, since there’s no way Joe Biden can or will run. How do they get rid of her without making a big ugly public spectacle out of it?
I don’t know the answer to that and if I did, I wouldn’t tell them. I sincerely want Kamaltoe as democrats’ nominee because she’s so unlikeable that it would be impossible to rig things in her favor. Also, her campaign would be the funniest train wreck in American political history.
