    What else would she be expected to say? “Oh shoot if he died tomorrow, I have no idea what we’d do!”

      And yet she still has to state the obvious for the oblivious

    Are we ready for her? She’s been so nonexistent these past 4 years. I think she’s detrimental to the ticket tbh. I expected her to be more active in building that public confidence. Instead, all we got was her going to South America and telling them not to come and becoming a meme.

      Why the hell would somebody who built her entire early career on persecuting truants build public confidence?

      If the alternative wasn’t Spray-Tan Hitler, I would never have voted to put her one heart attack from the Oval Office.

        I don’t understand your comment. It sounds as if persecuting truants is a bad thing…?

        Edit: I think truant may have a different meaning in my native language. Truhan means a good-for-nothing, no-shame petty person. Let’s see what truant means in English…

        Edit 2: Ah, a school no-show. Yup. Different meaning. And yeah, prosecuting them is stupid.

          It is when it means forcing young people into overcrowded and failing schools…

          Ugh. I don’t want to get re-mad over this.

          Short version: School is bad for you, bad school doubly so, and she’s a proud enforcer of a cruel and broken system.

      nonexistent

      That’s how I like my politics. Working for the people in a way that it feels like the air. You forget it’s there, but it’s doing its thing.

    I would love if she took over soon, and just unloads on Trump all campaign season. Pulling no punches just publicly humiliates him with every opportunity she has. It would be so cathartic

        Polls don’t mean jack shit. They’re basically the “mood ring” of the political world.

            What I mean is don’t listen to anyone who says “polls show”. Polls have been weaponized by every media outlet to back up whatever story they’re trying to relay.

            Polls are only good for political strategists and only for forming actionable strategies. They don’t capture true popular feelings about any subjects and completely eliminate room for subtleties and nuance in the debate.

            For example, why is she polling lower than Biden? Could it be because the VP role is traditionally one of someone who works in the background, so the general public has very little reason to think about her too often? How many times is she mentioned in headlines (successes or failures) compared to Biden and Trump? Who was polled and who did the polling - was there any accountability for bias one way or the other?

            Take all polls with a huge grain of salt.

    When Biden goes she needs to go too. If anyone is unqualified to be in either position it’s her.
