Mostly they're afraid that swing voters won't vote for a black woman, but are afraid of saying that out loud.

I, for one, hope that she can energize the campaign, get women to the polls and cancel out any negatives.
I willnlove to see her go against Trump in a debate, but I doubt "grab her by the pussy" Trump will even do one now since he knows he'd get steamroller.
You're never going to get all Democrats to be satisfied with any candidate, ever. People are going to complain because they love complaining. That said, I think most people are probably fine with her.
Definitely democrats have a big crybaby mood, they live in an unreal ideological bubble. always complaining for everything and instead of organizing effectively they just want to convince everyone with the LGBTQIA+ rethoric.
People who have a protagonic syndrome and like to believe their POV it's the best of all human history.
The phrase is Democrats fall in love, Republicans fall in line.
But I don't think it's really all that accurate. It's more like Republicans fall in line, Democrats come to terms with.
And we will.
Also, Biden was not bad at the job. Few had the knowledge of the levers of power to keep shit running with Republican/Sinema/Manchin obstruction.
But he is four years older, and I hope moving to a different candidate works out. Democrats should love a chance to vote for a totally new candidate who keeps most of the same mildly progressive agenda.
But I will say if she doesn't stick with the plan to reform the Supreme Court I will be extremely disappointed.
I'm confused... why do even Republicans seem conflicted on Donald Trump as a candidate?
What do repubs worry about him?
Wait, so Dems seem to have like a majority support of her, that's news to me?
You can tell Republicans are just not saying it out loud, but they wish someone else was more likely to win than an old convicted felon. They’re just gambling they can get what they want out of it.
I’ll still vote for her, even though I’ve thought she’s been an ineffectual VP and was just a bad presidential candidate in 2020. During the 2020 Dem primary debates she basically got shutdown by Tulsi Gabbard and never really recovered from that, up until Biden picked her as VP. Her previous record would probably make her a liability amongst liberals, but there’s not much choice now. She doesn’t seem to have much charisma or inspire much enthusiasm. She’s not old though, so that’s a plus in her favor. Being a black woman is sure to excite elements of the party that would find that important, as it would be another historic first for the country if she were elected. I’d just be happy to avert fascism with whomever.
