American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harrisās presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-presidentĀ races towards winning the Democratic nominationĀ for Novemberās election.
āI think sheās just what we needā
āI think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldnāt. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, womenās, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think sheās just what we need.
āI hope theĀ DemocratsĀ realize what an opportunity this is for them.āĀ Will, 22,Ā construction worker from Portland, Oregon

And then Democrats convinced Biden to not run for a second term. Sounds like the party did in fact listen to the votersā will, and thatās being reflected in the excitement that weāre seeing across the board.
And you know what? I wish Republicans made backroom deals. I wish they recognized Trump was a significant threat and aligned to go against him.
The polls, plus stingy donors, convinced Biden not to run.
Of course, Lemmy-ites will insist that polls donāt matter and you can just scream at people to vote if youāre at a fund raising disadvantage when you need to close the gap.
When Republicans make backroom deals, you get a 5-4 SCOTUS majority halting the recount process in Florida.
Weāre somewhat lucky that Trump was on such shit terms with Doug Ducey and Brian Kemp in 2020.
