Kamala can't win.

It might be a mistake to assume this matters. My understanding is that she and Newsome loathe each other. She'll burn the whole thing down, rather than stepping aside gracefully.

Kamala's unbeatable race card: "The party of slavery, of segregation, is once again putting the interests of rich white men over the earned [something or other] of black and brown womxn."

Good points but in the end I think the democrat party gets what it wants when it wants. They will only let you step outside of the party line so far. They tolerate the squad's antics because they think they are a net benefit bringing in young and minority voters.

Look at RFK. He was a viable candidate who could win but didn't tow the party line so they cut off his secret service detail.

They might also know that this election is already lost and now it's just about damage control. Better to let Kamala crash and burn than to have her ignite a civil war.

But what about the existential crisis and danger to democracy that Trump poses?

Don't they need to put the country first and save democracy?

I know you're just being sarcastic, but I am getting really tired of hearing about how everything is an existential crisis. Seems like everything is an existential crisis these days.

Trump wins? End of democracy. Didn't respect someone's pronouns? Denied their existence. Any unusual weather? Civilization ending climate disaster.

It's getting extremely tiresome. And it's stifling any real debate or progress. Worse, it gives cover to malicious actors who are just fleecing the public in the name of fighting theses supposedly existential crises

Yes, I was most certainly being sarcastic and mocking the way politicians and media talk.

I believe that's the point.

“Of any matters of politics or what’s right and wrong, the one thing I know for sure about America is this: it’s run by mean girls,” Maher continued. “Mean girls in the press, and in politics and in life. And when they smell blood in the water, the lust to finish off a vulnerable person will never be denied.”

Replacing the entire ticket is impossible almost because of Kamala DEI credentials and she is also from California
