Correct - although it was consistent with what I said earlier.  Obama wanted to see if Kamala polled high enough.  He was one of the last politicians to fall into line.

This is what you fail to understand: Democrats voted for an administration in the primary. Not a cult leader.

Biden steps down, Harris is the next up.

FYP. I'm concerned you think Trump is smarter than Harris.

From a distance, neither one looks very bright to me. The pragmatist in me has the track records of two recent administrations and what conditions in the country were like under each. The Biden-Harris leadership team performed woefully worse than the Trump Pence leadership team with regard to the economy, the border, and all foreign affairs. Nobody has to like it, but it's true.

No, I'm not. He 's not smarter, just luckier.

i said it the other day...might as well say it again.  non-dems are the only people i've seen being upset about kamala getting the nomination. 

I agree and have said the same thing, though there are some far left Dems out there that are not all that happy with how it went down, but at the same time wish they would have had a chance to vote in a primary.
 

The far left pro Palestinian crowd was never going to vote for Biden. They haven’t written off Harris yet, but unless she totally cuts off support for Israel, most won’t vote for her either. They won’t vote for Trump either, but I think they are cutting off their nose to spite their face. 
 

Foe the most part though, I believe the Dems are as United as ever You know, until all the fake enthusiasm dies down.

Kamala’s husband being Jewish is kind of a wild card.  Because even if she does come off as less supportive of Israel than Biden, it’s a little far-fetched to say she’s anti-Semitic.  So anti-Semitic she married a Jew…

I was gonna press him on what specific metrics he's using to determine the economy is so much worse now than under Trump but I have a good feeling I know what the answer would be:

Really. It's an incumbent election for Democrats; ie., a referendum of the current administration. Biden polled over 85% so it is clear party voters want to stay the course. There is no binding law that says Biden must run because he won the primary. He can choose to step down. It is up to the party to choose the candidate. For the vast majority of the country's history the party conventions chose the Presidential candidates. It wasn't until the 1970s that the primary had any stake.

Lies.  They're down from his own record high, he is the GOAT in terms of illegal entries, and the record will never be broken.

The Border Patrol reported 83k encounters in June.  https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/national-media-release/cbp-releases-june-2024-monthly-update

In Jan '21 it was 75k.

Nom Nom Nom est up those lies.  They're so desperate to cover their tracks of failure.

This table is about as effective as comparing apples to fish.

Read the note that says that "Beginning in March 2020, totals include apprehensions AND expulsions, where before that they include apprehensions ONLY". I was curious, so I did a little research comparing the numbers of apprehensions and expulsions annually from 2000 to 2019, just to see how insignificant the number of expulsions was that they decided to roll this into the apprehensions data. Imagine my surprise when I found that in 13 of those 20 years, the number of expulsions was LARGER than the number of apprehensions, sometimes almost double, and always even in the lowest years for expulsions at least 75% of the number of apprehensions. This means that every data point in this graph prior to March 2020 should be multiplied by approximately 1.75 to 2.5 if we wanted this graph to measure "apples to apples".

I picked one example month from before and after March 2020. They are May 2019 and December 2023.

In May 2019, there were 132,856 apprehensions and in December 2023, there were 249,735 total apprehensions and expulsions, A RECORD HIGH!!!

What this graph doesn't tell you is that there were 144,000 expulsions in May 2019, meaning that if the data prior to March 2020 were measuring the same thing as the data after March 2020, then this graph would show that number to be 272,856. Sometimes graphs lie in this way (especially when they use 2 different statistics for measurement on the vertical axis).

I do know for certain that 272,856>249,735, so was December 2023 really the record?

It's how you know he's just a Trump fanboy who's playing the "not a Trump supporter" card. 

You have to be playing pretend to think the guy who took Obama's economy and stayed on the exact same course for 3 years (only for it all to collapse on him in the last year) did a better job than the guy who navigated a soft landing after facing the ripple effects of a global supply chain shut down, global inflation, etc, and who's led our economy to become the post-Covid envy of the world.  Biden's had it much harder from a global economy standpoint for the duration of his term and he's absolutely nailed it.  Trump sat back and enjoyed the ride until it all fell out from under him.  The only way you could even make the argument he's making is if you were deep in the cult.
