“So, say #Biden stepped aside in favor of #Harris tomorrow. How long until the vapid gossips we call political reporters find something wrong with her, some alleged flaw they just have to write 192 stories about? How long until the hopped-up mediocrities we call pundits find some "counter-intuitive" reason that the new Dem ticket is flawed after all? How long before the ambient racism & misogyny…?” https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1809311013839466846.html?utm_campaign=topunroll
@GottaLaff IMO, pundits & corporate media are pushing the “replace Joe” mantra precisely because they know there isn’t a viable replacement candidate now and Fucko would win by default. As toxic as HRC was in too many people’s minds, VP Harris is more so today. In this racist climate, she’d never won the popular vote let alone the EC totals necessary (& I’m a big fan of hers). Do I wish Pres. Biden were 20 years younger? Sure, but I think he’s up to continuing the job he’s done so well since 2021. Any win is up to us donating, working the vote & getting people to the polls.
There is something wrong with the toxic main stream media nowadays. More and more it is plunging stability of our society and every aspect of it into chaos…
