20 Questions about 2024
The Importance of Kamala Harris
Will Joe Biden announce soon that he’s running for re-election?
If he does, will we start seeing a lot more of Kamala Harris?
If he doesn’t, can Democrats avoid a clusterbleep of a crowded primary field?
Meaning, can we all get excited about Kamala Harris?
Please?
If Biden says he’s running, will he also say, “hey, I know I’m 80 years old. If something changes, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, watch what the two of us can do!”
If Biden ends up not running, will fewer than the 25 Democrats who ran in the last clusterbleep of a Democratic primary in 2020 declare this time?
Can we limit it to two?
Like Bill Bradley v. Al Gore, or Bernie Sanders v. Hillary Clinton?
People, can we get at least as excited about Kamala Harris as we did about Al Gore?
If we don’t, will that mean we get President Ron DeSantis?
Will Donald Trump collapse on the way to or during the primaries, leading to an even bigger clusterbleep of Republicans?
Will someone just as evil as Trump—but smarter—get the nomination, and beat the winner of a bitter Democratic primary?
If Trump is the nominee?—well, never mind. We can always beat Trump.
But is that going to happen? (I still don’t think so).
Can Biden beat any Republican? (Of course he can)
Will it be a different looking campaign? (Of course it will)
Will we see a Democratic ticket that campaigns together, governs together and inspires together?
Will we appreciate how much we need Kamala Harris?
Do we realize what could happen if we don’t? (See clusterbleep)
I'm also very impressed with Hakim Jeffries. I linked to his amazing rendition of the alphabet in an earlier post--but I worry about everyone thinking it's their turn to be president if Joe doesn't run.
I still don't know her and if she's got the goods. I'm really impressed by Hakeem Jeffries but it's not his time. I'd vote for Joe if I had to vote today.
