ITS HER TURN
She might be the only person on Earth capable of doing worse than Biden if nominated except maaaaaybe Jeb! Bush
Biden's alter ego is female?
His VP is?
So is Hillary. I guess only OP knows who they mean.
It legitimately should be Kamala's turn but "It's Her Turn" was a 2016 slogan of Hillary.
He joking that they'll run Hillary again.
Other people are guessing the reference is Harris. No idea.
I don't think she has as good a chance as he does. Biden's policy has always been on the moderate side of the democratic spectrum, whereas Harris's has trended true-left or even far-left. Biden will pull more moderates and centrists, the key group in this election (MAGA folks are already decided and anyone who's even vaguely left is too).
The Overton window has shifted so far right that Biden is considered moderate-left and Harris far left.
In any sensible country Harris's ideas are center-right at best.
Genocide is a far right thing if anything.
When you go either of directions far enough, you'll eventually meet woth people going the other way.
Hey, please refrain from horse shoe theory stuff in this community
Ah, sorry, I forgot where I post...
This is the guy who was calling for restricting social welfare programs 25 years ago while wholeheartedly supporting Israeli expansion.
He has been anything but moderate
Says fucking who?
If you listen to the Biden press conferences, it is like listening to a preacher try to gaslight you that an imaginary being will come down out of the sky. It's like... "Biden has accomplished more than any President in the last 100 years, you know he has, we all know he has. Just as I said, and you've all seen for yourself. It's true and you can't deny it."
Says an analysis done by me in 15 minutes on a train ride. I should have looked at polling data - despite Harris being further left, Biden is old as dirt. Apparently in ABC and Pew polls she beats him. Should have researched that one better.
I have yet to meet someone who is analytically deficient enough to think Harris is far left, who's not also racist enough to think that she's definitionally far-left due to her skin color.
Prove me wrong
Calling me a racist is harsh and uncalled for. She is indeed, compared to most US politicians, far left. Not talking about global scale. Attached is data from nonpartisan and nonprofit GovTrack regarding her time as a senator. https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/kamala_harris/412678/report-card/2019
