What else would she be expected to say? “Oh shoot if he died tomorrow, I have no idea what we’d do!”
And yet she still has to state the obvious for the oblivious
Are we ready for her? She’s been so nonexistent these past 4 years. I think she’s detrimental to the ticket tbh. I expected her to be more active in building that public confidence. Instead, all we got was her going to South America and telling them not to come and becoming a meme.
Why the hell would somebody who built her entire early career on persecuting truants build public confidence?
If the alternative wasn’t Spray-Tan Hitler, I would never have voted to put her one heart attack from the Oval Office.

I don’t understand your comment. It sounds as if persecuting truants is a bad thing…?
Edit: I think truant may have a different meaning in my native language. Truhan means a good-for-nothing, no-shame petty person. Let’s see what truant means in English…
Edit 2: Ah, a school no-show. Yup. Different meaning. And yeah, prosecuting them is stupid.
It is when it means forcing young people into overcrowded and failing schools…
Ugh. I don’t want to get re-mad over this.
Short version: School is bad for you, bad school doubly so, and she’s a proud enforcer of a cruel and broken system.
nonexistent
That’s how I like my politics. Working for the people in a way that it feels like the air. You forget it’s there, but it’s doing its thing.
You do have a point, if they were doing their thing. Each term they seem to become less and less capable of doing anything.
You, my friend, are unfortunately right.
Good. I’m sure she’d do fine.
I have no doubt she’d be a liberal president. For all that’s worth.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that
Why not?
Because no one likes her, she’ll get nothing done, and there’s zero chance she doesn’t try to run again
What’s your source on “no one likes her”? Because let me tell you - Cain’s big mistake was picking Sarah Palin as a running mate. Biden won with his pick, so…
No shit
Or here’s an idea, we don’t keep electing old geriatric mother fuckers that don’t even know how to set up a PowerPoint
We can only wish, friend. We can only wish.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal just two days before Special Counsel Robert Hur released his report on Biden’s handling of classified documents, Harris was asked if questions about the 81-year-old Biden’s ability to serve for another term meant that she had to demonstrate to the electorate that she’d be ready to sit in the Oval Office.
The vice president then told the newspaper that people who’ve observed her job performance are “fully aware of my capacity to lead.”
But Harris seemingly struggled early in her vice presidential term, with high-profile staff shakeups and a sense from many voters that her assignments — tackling the root causes of migration from Central America and pushing for sweeping voting-rights legislation that was eventually blocked by Senate Republicans — had not been successful.
She has also prodded Biden to express more public sympathy toward the humanitarian plight of Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, according to Politico.
Nikki Haley have sought to use the potential of Harris ascending to the presidency as a political liability against the Democratic ticket.
While Biden was not charged by Hur over his handling of classified documents, the report cited the president’s “hazy” memory — a characterization which led Biden to forcefully push back in a news conference last week where he defended his acuity and his ability to run for reelection this fall and serve for a second term.

I would love if she took over soon, and just unloads on Trump all campaign season. Pulling no punches just publicly humiliates him with every opportunity she has. It would be so cathartic
She won’t.
well of course she won’t. i have no hope for anything good regarding US politics. it was more of a day dream
I mean she is polling worse than Biden so that would be rough.
Polls don’t mean jack shit. They’re basically the “mood ring” of the political world.
Well said. Apt description.
That’s what the Democrats thought in 2016 too.
What I mean is don’t listen to anyone who says “polls show”. Polls have been weaponized by every media outlet to back up whatever story they’re trying to relay.
Polls are only good for political strategists and only for forming actionable strategies. They don’t capture true popular feelings about any subjects and completely eliminate room for subtleties and nuance in the debate.
For example, why is she polling lower than Biden? Could it be because the VP role is traditionally one of someone who works in the background, so the general public has very little reason to think about her too often? How many times is she mentioned in headlines (successes or failures) compared to Biden and Trump? Who was polled and who did the polling - was there any accountability for bias one way or the other?
Take all polls with a huge grain of salt.
Oh, does trump even have a running mate yet?
When Biden goes she needs to go too. If anyone is unqualified to be in either position it’s her.
