what could a prosecutor bring to the table that would help
- A history of incarcerating minorities for possession of a plant that's legalization has universal, bipartisan support while also experimenting with said plant?
  Oh shit you said help, nevermind.
- A prosecutor is a public servant by definition.
  
  A public servant that gets off on enforcing an unjust disproportionate entrenched system. Executioners are public servants by definition too, should I respect them as well? Prosecutors are mostly goobers.
Harris has zero chance. Get a better option
- Agree, but still slightly higher than Biden, imo.
FUCK.
I saw the memo. Their proposed plan doesn’t make sense to me.
If Biden resigned as president, Harris would become president, would certainly cinch the nomination as the incumbent, and would enter the election with all the benefits of incumbency.
But they want Biden to stay as president until the end of his current term, and they expect the party to rally around Harris as the nominee. I’m not sure the party would rally around Harris. And why have her enter the election as a non-incumbent?
- Honestly, I doubt very much that Harris could gain any advantage from Biden resigning. She’d have less than 5 months to do what Biden has had 3.5 years to do and couldn’t without the advantage of having nominal control of congress.
  The only real chance I see is if Biden withdraws his candidacy, and proceeds to continue campaigning for whoever gets the nomination.
  
  If nothing else, she could use those five months to demonstrate that the sky won't fall in just because a black/Asian woman is president.
