Biden Drops Out - It's Now Kamala Harris Or Lose The Election



The naysayers in the Democratic Party got what they wanted. As I was writing this post, it was announced that President Biden has withdrawn from the race. And he has endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement on the Democratic ticket.

Will those who abandoned Biden accept Harris as the nominee? Or will they continue their ridiculous antics?

The chances of winning in November just got a lot smaller. But Harris just might pull it off if all Democrats immediately unite and fight for her. If they don't, then we are going to have another disastrous Trump presidency. And he may even get a Republican Congress (to make it easier for him to destroy our democracy).

I like VP Harris, and I think she's the only Democrat who can possibly win. If she is passed over, Black voters (and a lot of Whites also) will see it as racism and misogyny (and they would probably be right). 

Add to this the fact that we are less than four months until the election. We don't have time for a divisive and rancorous fight among Democrats. 

There are already some saying Harris should not be "coronated". They are wrong. She must have time to make her case before the American voters, and there is no time for another campaign fight. Give the nod to Harris or lose the election.

The Democrats who have been demanding Biden drop out have already stomped all over the right of Democratic voters to pick the nominee. They don't have the right to now call for a new campaign (which would be decided by party activists and bosses - not voters). It will not be a truly Democratic process, so the nod should go to the vice-presidential candidate.

It's Kamala Harris or Donald Trump who will be the next president.
