There's always the hypocrisy angle, like when Obama (who had the votes) didn't codify Roe despite promising to do so, and then Biden likewise promised to do it (but one can argue he didn't have the votes), so I'm not sure why anyone trusts that the Dems will do so now.

I think it's particularly unlikely given that Roe-related promises are their cash cow.

There's also lots to critique economically thanks to rampant inflation and the cost-of-living crisis, which Biden ignored but somehow made half a trillion appear out of thin air for other countries' wars.

I don't think those are too viable. If republicans have any sense, they're going to treat the topic of abortion as radioactive and talk as little about it as possible. If the Dems won't restore Roe, then what will the republicans do? And Kamala could easily enough distance herself from Economic policy.

No she can't.

Hillary couldn't when it mattered, thanks to Obama's inaction on the foreclosure crisis. There are simply too many people who've been impoverished during Biden's presidency.

Idk, I guess that's your opinion. I don't think it's really that viable of an attack vector.

[–] FlashMobOfOne 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The problem is that it isn't a matter of opinion.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago

It literally is. It is literally my opinion that she will be able to somewhat distance herself from Biden's problems successfully.

If you want to avoid Trump, avoid the gloom and doom. I said it for Biden, I'll say it for Harris. The things we say matter. The campaign needs our energy, not our griping.

Yes We Can, Rock the Vote, etc etc etc.

Energy wins elections. Griping does not.
