You know it will probably be either the Harris reelection effort, or no election due to complications from Trumpitis

Harris against Trump Jr. and they will claim Harris is too old.

Damn, I just found out Kamala is almost 60…

I don’t know why I thought Biden would have picked someone young enough to be president after him.

Should have gotten one of the “kids” in their 40s.

We need to stop running elderly people, if Biden had done two and she did two after, she’d be in her 70s too

We’re stuck in this situation where we demand “experience” but the people holding the spots that count for “experience” are decades past retirement age.

Even if she would serve two terms in a row, she would still only be 67 by the time shes finished, so thats still way younger than what Trump or Biden have been during their terms.

Almost 60 is fine. She’s still got the majority of her mental faculties that she had at her peak. Low chance of her just randomly kicking over at any given time unlike the two candidates we had in this election until yesterday.

Gotta keep the pressure up.

Make her promise to an open and fair 2028 primary before the 2024 election.

None of this wishwashy shit where everyone close to Biden promise it’s a one turn thing, but the candidate doesn’t understand how shitty of a candidate they are.

Kamala’s gonna win because she’s not trump. Not because she’s what Dem voters want.
