If you think if Biden steps down, that will automatically translate to support for Harris guess again.

AOC thinks:

“I’m just going to say it: If you think that there is consensus among the people who want Joe Biden to leave… that they will support Kamala, Vice President Harris, you would be mistaken,” she says. “They are interested in removing the whole ticket.”

Democrats are doing exactly what they do best: fragmenting and turning on each other just when the goal is in sight. There are a lot of hidden agendas inside the Democratic Party, the liberal wing and among the big donor elites.

@bradenslen AOC is usually a politically smart person, but that's a dumb take. Passing over Kamala, who is not even 60 years old, doesn't even approach the issue they accused Biden of. If they don't support Kamala, they will lose the black vote, and most of the women vote.

@pratik AOC wasn't advocating removing Harris. She's warning the rank and file that there are those within the party that want to remove Harris.

@pratik No. I am trying to find a thread but cant find it - in fact she is arguing the opposite that in her interactions nobody who has asked Biden to step down will ask Harris to also step down. But after that nobody has any game plan on how to actually win this election and we cannot afford such idiocy. She made some brilliant points actually.

@stupendousman Yes, that's what Brad pointed out. I misinterpreted that excerpt. I read the whole article now and agree with her. If Dems lose this time, I want her to run in 2028. If we still have elections, that is.

@pratik Well if democrats lose its all on them at this point and maybe America deserves what they get. Like if we the people don't even have a voice in a party thats supposedly working on our behalf, whats the point anyway haha.
