For the sake of securing President Biden’s victory in November and maintaining continuity afterwards, Kamala Harris must be replaced immediately

If anyone in this administration needs to be replaced, it is the Vice-President. Hard truth: if re-elected, President Biden shall almost certainly be compelled to step down shortly afterwards, and shall not be able to serve another four years (neither shall his orange goblin adversary, and may we proclaim this fact to the hilt). Yet, we absolutely cannot afford to abandon President Biden at this crucial moment. The calls from within the Democratic Party and among their allies in the mainstream media for the President to step aside are verging on treasonous. Having said that, we cannot ignore that Mr Biden is growing too old to do this for much longer.

There is a reason Kamala Harris is not often seen or heard: the VP’s demeanour is such that she is not a particularly likeable or relatable person. She lacks charisma and sorely lacks public speaking ability (and the United States desperately needs a well-spoken leader once more, with none in immediate sight). She is the sort who makes for an excellent district attorney but is not a capable politician. Her ascension would only invite further radicalisation of the Christian nationalist, white supremacist right (#Cult45 for short), who are already on the verge of declaring all-out civil war. To be blunt, Kamala Harris would be vanquished in an election against Donald Trump, and the consequences would be devastating. America simply does not like her, for both proper and improper reasons, yet many of these reasons are valid.

I suggest President Biden replace VP Harris with a lady of moderate politics and disposition, white in complexion. America is - then, now, and forever - a racial basket case, but now is not the hour to fret about such matters: we have a dictatorial menace to vanquish, and utmost practicality and caution must prevail. As the Christian nationalist Heritage Foundation points out - and herein they are correct - it is too late to place another candidate on the ballot in many states. We ride with President Biden until he completes the job - the task of defeating Donald Trump and the GOP in this election - but thereafter we need someone who is capable of tempering the fervour and governing with prudence. That fair lady from Minnesota, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, may be whom I have in mind, but not necessarily her. Someone of that moderate, centrist ilk. #JustSaying #Biden2024
