Will Kamala satisfy the progressives of the party? Will a Biden/Harris ticket bring out the progressives of the party?
I think yes. I think that the progressives of the party learned their mistake in 2016 by not voting for Clinton. They may have not liked her, but they HATE TRUMP. They may not like Biden and Harris but the progressives of the party HATE TRUMP.
I personally think she won't satisfy the progressives, neither will Biden, but they will swallow their pride and accept them cause they're not Trump.
Any thoughts?
I think there is no such thing here as "progressives of the party learned their mistake in 2o16 by not voting for Clinton."
First, all engaging in the D are defined as progressives.
Second, they'd rather stay home with a couple joints of the good stuff rather than go out to vote for Broomstick Hillary, now they have a similar issue with Bejing Biden.
I guarantee you their coasting along mellow on voting night is better than voting for two loser bitches.
You're totally right when it comes to hating every Republican President for the past 20 years (even though the last 20 years is only like, 2 GOP Presidents). I think this sort of thought is common though as we've gotten much more hyperpartisan. It can totally be debated in regards to the mainstream media and what they're saying about the President.
But ya know Fox is going to love the GOP while every other major news outlet (CNN, MSNBC, ETC) are going to like the DNC candidate.
This'll be one of the first races where we'll see if all of the crazy social media outreach will actually do anything. It hasn't worked yet, but this could be the one that changes that. Wouldn't be surprised of the youth just doesn't go out and vote again though.
