American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harrisā€™s presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-presidentĀ races towards winning the Democratic nominationĀ for Novemberā€™s election.

ā€˜I think sheā€™s just what we needā€™

ā€œI think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldnā€™t. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, womenā€™s, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think sheā€™s just what we need.

ā€œI hope theĀ DemocratsĀ realize what an opportunity this is for them.ā€Ā Will, 22,Ā construction worker from Portland, Oregon

    And then Democrats convinced Biden to not run for a second term.

    The polls, plus stingy donors, convinced Biden not to run.

    Of course, Lemmy-ites will insist that polls donā€™t matter and you can just scream at people to vote if youā€™re at a fund raising disadvantage when you need to close the gap.

    I wish Republicans made backroom deals. I wish they recognized Trump was a significant threat and aligned to go against him.

    When Republicans make backroom deals, you get a 5-4 SCOTUS majority halting the recount process in Florida.

    Weā€™re somewhat lucky that Trump was on such shit terms with Doug Ducey and Brian Kemp in 2020.
