Kamala Harris says she ‘had a certain responsibility’ to argue against Biden running again

No shit Kamala! It's a bit too late don't you think?

Then she had no business running for President of the United States of America.

The most powerful position in the world. "Gee it was someone's else's fault" and "what could I have done", are not acceptable responses to her colossal failure to put the issue to the people, as she should have done.

It is NOT Clooney's job to demand that something happens.

It's really ridiculous to try to label it as "scapegoating", instead of demanding accountability.

There was no other candidate in the position to even come close.

THAT is the position of the Vice President in such a case.

As you can see there are many that will disagree with you on this. I could name a few others besides those on this post.

I would even like the one person's comments and replies, that has blocked me on this post, if I could.

Are we really supposed to say "oh well, she tried?"

I voted for Biden in 2020, because he promised that he was a 1-term, transitional President. I made that statement on SW.

I'm sure people would not have voted for him in the primaries, if Harris had informed the public of the real situation.

When Biden appeared in that debate, it was very clear he had no idea where the fuck he was.

His VP should have done the right thing and directly appealed to the people. There's not a fucking chance she was not aware how bad his cognitive state is.

I blame her not just for losing, but for the total shit show we're in now.

But I do take her on her own word: she ‘had a certain responsibility’ to argue against Biden running again, but I still insist that it's too late.

@Northwest guy, look what happened to Biden not even six months into Trump's presidency.

Even I knew something wasn't right then. I supported Biden right up to the end when he himself declined.

That was the turning point. Harris was the only one close. And you can search Becky's posts on this.

Becky and I agreed at that point. Not liking it, sure. Yet there was no other choice.
Northwest · M
@DeWayfarer I don't know who Becky is, or why this is relevant.

I'm referring to Biden's promise to be a transitionary 1-term President.

So, stop making excuses for Harris, and take her on her word when she now says she fucked up and did not hold the responsibilities entrusted in her by 1) those who voted for the ticket, and 2) the nation.

@Northwest really surprised you don't know @beckyromero [ @beckyromero]. Perhaps blocks are involved. 😔

Being physically unwell IS NOT a excuse! I consider health a requirement.

I don't see any posts from this person, but I remember "her" blocking me, because that account was acting like the racist it is.

I don't know what this means.

@Northwest Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer after Trump became president.

At Biden's age that IS a extremely serious health issue. It was showing long before the election.

Is there a point? How does this change the fact that he promised the American people he was not going to run again? And that Harris ran as his VP, based largely on that promise?

she had to run, or be a lame duck president.

Huh???? You're getting confused.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest Ok who would have had in 2024 run? 🤷🏻‍♂ Newsom declined. In my book that was the only person qualified, and I despise Gavin Newsom.

I'm referring to your "lame duck" reference. What does that even mean?

The people would have been to go about the primaries in a normal fashion, and let the nation decide.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest
A lame duck presidency refers to the period when a president remains in office after a successor has been elected but before the successor takes office. During this time, the outgoing president often has reduced political power and may attempt to push through policies or appointments without facing re-election



The people would have been to go about the primaries in a normal fashion, and let the nation decide.
And Trump would demolished the election.

No one was willing to run with the right qualifications.

You're right, it's not like Trump did not demolish the election. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Northwest hey Trump didn't even get 50% of the popular vote. The popular vote is crucial for the democratic party.

Once more totally irrelevant to the issue at hand and the topic I raised.

Clinton won the Presidency by 43% of the vote, for his first term.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest Clinton had the electoral college! Which was supposed to be a conservative strong point. Republicans are for Republics which is why this is a Republic not a democracy.

I truly want a democratic party that stands for democracy.

Yeah you don't care, yet the popular vote does care about democracy.
Northwest · M
@DeWayfarer You continue to further slip away from the point.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Northwest No, yet I won't argue my point further. It would only result negatively.😔

@Northwest The DNC rallied behind her when Biden stepped down.

What did you expect? A new primary in 30 days?

Want to blame someone?
Blame those that stayed home and didn't vote.
Northwest · M
@JSul3 The DNC does not send in ballots. I take her at her word: she had the responsibility to argue against Biden running, and she failed that responsibility.

@JSul3 Forget about Liz. Let's not gloss over the Dick Cheney endorsement. She also told the nation she would not change one thing Biden did.
