When I studied in Boston, we had "climb and canvass" program where we would go across state line to NH, buy some fireworks, go climbing in North Conway or Keene, then signed up to canvass door-to-door. I knocked hundreds of doors for Obama in 2012 (forgive me comrades, I was a lib back then), then for Bernie in 2016. With the MiniVAN app, canvassing was just like Pokemon Go-to-the-polls but more fun. We terrorized the whole neighborhood, they hate us MA college kids so much.
True societal equality is when a mixed Indian-Jamaican-American woman cop-prosecutor can fail upward just like white men
I personally think the only viable candidate is Kamala, not for her competence, but strictly due to her position as VP. In theory, the party can pick whoever they want at contested convention, but voters would feel severely disenfranchised if they pick someone without involving a legitimate primary and input from single regular person (delegates are chosen party apparatchik, not real people). It would take a lot of corralling, wheeling and dealing to get Kamala, or other aspiring wannabes (e.g., Newsom, Whitmer, etc.) to bend the knee to the party chosen one - they also risk fracturing the base. All of the current presidential wannabes are still losing to Trump, every single one of them (just not as bad as Biden). Furthermore, people like Newsom and Mayo Pete might not want to have just 3-4 months to run the biggest campaign of their life to the highest office, they might wait out until 2028 instead to run a proper campaign. As such, the only obvious sacrificial lamb/viable candidate is Copmala, it is literally her duty to step up if Joe step down.

They are not polls, they are betting odds from bookies turned into probability. It is Michelle.

Kamala is now 2nd favorite on the betting market. Copstonk going up
The problem are twofolds. First, Biden is a sinking ship. But the alternate rafter Kamala is not much better. According to the pdf/internal polls, Kamala is among the worst performing alternatives, while Whitmer and Mayo Pete performed the best. The Dems however, cannot just skip Kamala and crown Whitmer, Newsom, or Buttigeg without massive succession crisis, contested convention, and fracturing the party. As funny as it sounds, Copmala is the only viable alternative.

The graph is referring to Michelle Obama, but yeah. If Copmala is semi-competent Biden would've stepped down. They ran multiple Kamala vs. Trump poll and she's getting crushed https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-harris
What a cuck, 8000 years counting of history, recipes, and tradition in Indian food that is clearly superior to Br***** food, and man picked a white bread sandwich
