You're not missing anything. This is a politically stupid move.
It could be seen as throwing her under the bus. There isn't anything she can do, and the Republicans will seize on any ineffective measures she tries to enact.
I don't know what the end game here is except to be trying something vs the current nothing, but this is a no win proposition.
It really is kinda majestically dumb, and it will certainly have zero real impact, simply because of the Tribunal of Six. All it will do is make Harris even more unelectable as a successor candidate for president.
Good. She's a guaranteed loss.
I agree. I honestly detested her as the VP pick. She was very, very far down my list when she was still a primary candidate. Biden picked her because she’s a lady, and she’s not white. Her track record as CA AG is… not good. That’s the primary reason I strongly dislike her.
You're missing that her track record as CA AG was good if you're a Reagan era neoliberal that thinks potheads deserve 10-20.
What's that? That's who still controls the DNC?
You’re right, and I hate that.
Should have put Hunter in charge, then have him refuse to answer republican questions on his gun charges claiming executive privilege.
