Frankly, it wouldn't be a bad thing if both parties became more racially diverse.

View original postYou’re right there are many who will no longer vote Blue mostly due to crime and immigration issues. But I do wonder if the Black support for Trump will hold up. Sure Kamala is Indian, Jamaican, or Black depending on her audience. But I wonder if some will vote for her anyway on that basis.
From an outsider perspective - no doubt American Democratic voters and certainly elected politicians see it differently - I've long thought that it's really unhealthy to have such extreme racial disparities in the Democratic and Republican voter base.
It would, of course, be rather sad if it took an execrable leader like Trump to attract more Hispanic and Black voters to the Republican party, but still, the change in itself would be a good thing.
View original postWe will see. I will not say what else could possibly go wrong because this cycle has been insane enough without me adding the mal occhio.
It certainly has been.
So, why exactly has Biden bowed out of the election?

For my part, I have no issues with Harris' failure on the border, because I don't care about it.

Honestly it's mostly because she isn't trying to ban gender-affirming care for adults.

Democrats voted for a Biden/Harris ticket. And the majority of the party supports Harris.
