I have 0% problem voting for and supporting Kamila, but....
We are doomed! Trump will win without cheating including the House and the Senate, he will scream "Mandate" and get another term too.
This is not the America Obama won in. Do you really belive a woman of color can be elected to lead this nation at this time in this climate?
I really hope I am wrong, I would love to eat the words above, but I am a realist.
I think we had/have one chance of hope. Senator Mark Kelly (Navy combat veteran and Astronaut) but the Democratic party leadership is full of braindead sycophant's, that's why we are here now.
Its definitely worrying. Even if she were the BEST candidate, Kamala Harris has an uphill battle in this country because she's not white and a woman.
And she isnt the best and most popular choice which makes it tricky.
The problem is who else would they put on the ballet?
Honestly? I think she's got this. I was really against the idea of derailing energy from the Biden campaign, but now that we're here? I'm on board 100%. I have a good feeling.
She's not Hilary. A sitting vice president probably has a better shot than a felon.
