When I put my cynic hat on, I can't help but wonder if factions with the GOP itself are trying to rid the party of this millstone named Trump. I'm sure there are plenty of Republicans who feel that Kamala is going to crush Trump and turn a lot of seats blue. Obviously, they don't want that. There's only one desperate solution if they're going to have any chance at all.
@volkris Interesting. I don't consider it a mistake at all. I see it as the carefully planned and executed master-stroke that it is.
@shuttersparks it all depends on what the goal is.
If Democrats prioritize winning the election then they would have nominated somebody with more of a chance of winning, not leaving it up to a dead heat.
So I don't know what master stroke you think they're going for, clearly there are things more important to them than winning the presidency, so what do you think they're up to if not that?
@shuttersparks The thing is, Democrats chose to nominate an awful candidate with a whole bunch of baggage. Had the Democrats nominated someone better they would run away with this contest, including a lot of Republican votes. If they had had a serious primary process maybe we would have had that.
So many people hate Trump. So many people are looking for a better alternative. It's so unfortunate that the Democratic party nominated Harris because she's pretty much the only alternative to Biden that wouldn't get the anti-trump vote by default.
But that's the world we're living in.
We need to call the Democratic party out for making that mistake.
