I feel so numb. Please give us someone that can beat this man.

There seem to be quite a few candidates (Whitmer, Shapiro, Newsom) that have the experience and energy to beat Trump. I think we’ll be pretty excited to see someone who’s not a walking corpse speak about politics.

My friend was just speaking about how Gretchen might be a better candidate cause a lot of racists wouldnt vote for Kamala

Do you seriously believe there aren't racist Democrats? Have you been to Boston?

Thanks for the laugh, I needed that!

Cant believe the idea of a racist democrat sounds any more improbable then a gay republican...

Exactly, there are a few of every type in every party. People are complicated.

There are some, for sure. That’s why I asked “a lot” in my post.

Enough is the answer. There are enough to make a difference unfortunately. All you need is about 50k votes in key swing states to win.

There’s got to be a Venn diagram of people who are racist in their heart but also recognize Trump is very bad news. It’s a small ass sliver but in 395m people there’s bound to be a few that fit.

There certainly is. I vividly remember one such person who proudly voted for Trump, but her husband got deported and she mentioned she didnt realize the ramifications were real so she’d never vote for him again.

You clearly don't know the Midwest. Plenty of people that are blue collar, union folks are not going to show up for a black woman from the Bay.

Seem to know a lot about racism, Reddit user “OP is a F+++++”

u/OPisabundleofstix Jul 21 '24

Who better to know about casual racism?

u/ButDidYouCry Jul 21 '24

Right? Because anyone who is that racist and misogynistic doesn't vote Dem.

u/neuroticnetworks1250 Jul 21 '24

A lot of racists wouldn’t vote for the Democrats in the first place. Kamala Harris history with the Police department would be out of principle for a lot of anti police violence youngsters who may choose to not vote

u/ButDidYouCry Jul 21 '24

Those youngsters don't vote anyhow.

Was your friend speaking for a friend, so to speak? Wink wink.
