How bad would the optics be for Dems choosing a white man as a replacement over Kamala?

If Joe drops out would that even matter? Just funny the party that is supposed to hate the white males and all of their privilege would choose Newsome over a black female who was good enough to be their VP for 4 years.

It would be really bad if the Republicans exploited it, which I don’t think they’re smart enough to do.

The question is, how would the lying media spin it?

Majority of "black votes" are not cast by the actual person. So it won't make any difference.

Think it all depended on how much Kamala played ball. If she was content to get a godfather deal and be reeled in without fighting back I don’t think it’d be a big deal at all.

Now if she wanted to fight back and make a big deal out of it, it may gain a bit of traction but let’s be real, she’s largely been hidden for 3 years. It’s not like she has a ton of clout or public awareness.

She cannot deny she is half white.

Why I've said for weeks if they replace him, it will be a sacrificial lamb they want to destroy their future in big races...Kamala or Stacy Abrams, etc.

The optics aren’t reported by the media, they are defined by the media. They made 85% of the population believe that shots prevent infection during a period in which everyone who got the shots later got infected.

They can make their party members believe that it’s for the best, and give Harris the choice between bitching about it to no avail, or going quietly with a 10 million dollar check in hand. They don’t give two schitts about how conservatives view “the optics”

Kamala can be bought; she’s is a profiteer and status climber but not the arrogant and narcissistic version that Biden is. She’d take a Cabinet position for 50 Million under the table and a ‘big guy’ cut of the grift.

Governor Newsom is still digesting the reality that his own party cannot promote him because he is a white male.

To quote George W. Bush it'd be "nucular."

It isn’t that they aren’t smart enough

It’s that it’s all theater and the Republicans are just playing the “opposition”. They aren’t really trying to win.

That’s why the GOPe hates Trump just as much as the left.

What choice do they have at this point? His own Media is burying him. I really have no clue what will happen in the next few months. One thing will happen, 1. They Democrats will support Biden (Damage is done with him), or they pull in a new candidate. Kamala can't get the vote that Joe could get. Something will happen bigly between now and August.

Obama still runs the party. Look for Michelle to be a serious candidate. It’s their only hope.

You’d have to ask someone from the liberal left.

For many of them, the racial politics of woke has always been a grift, and/or a virtue signal.

There might be a few critical race theory purists, but I can’t pretend to understand that level of mental and spiritual disfunction.

He has more money now than he can spend. He has already stirred up the pot. I would not want to go back into the schite hole. Remember. Democrats step lightly and do now show all their cards at one time.
