I am sick and tired of all of the—primarily male and white—corporatist shills speaking for me—a white, senior, lesbian voter with a biracial son and grandson— when it comes to telling us that we must replace our vetted, incumbent nominee.
People like George Clooney, Adam Schiff and Seth Moulton do not represent the heart of the Democratic Party. They state Biden needs to drop out for “the good of the party.” Yet nary a one has offered full-throated support for the person most qualified and ready to take the reins if Biden chooses to follow their pearl-clutching demands. Kamala Harris knows the role, understands the platform, supports the Biden-Harris policies and, most likely, would be able to retain many of the exceptionally qualified cabinet members from Biden’s tenure. Any other choice for a candidate would deflate those of us who believe in Biden and would render moot any objective concept of democracy. The MAGA voters would have a field day with this.
BTW. It’s not just the corporatists who shy away from outwardly supporting Harris. I’m looking at any number of men in my life and a number of posters on Daily Kos. WTF.
