Would it be a good idea for the DNC to decline to renominate Kamala Harris for Vice President and instead select someone else to be Biden's running mate?

If so, who do you think they should pick?

It's the same as the question as whether Biden should drop out.

Because Dems like identity politics, the silly old fool is stuck with his affirmative action running mate.

Harris is a massive drag on a very unpopular ticket, and a huge liability. But Joe due to his poor political instincts is stuck with her!

Most people don't have the racist and misogynistic tendencies that Atlas has. Atlas is a bubble not representative of the real electorate.

I would say it is more the opposite. The real electorate is if anything more racist and misogynistic than Atlas. Sure, some segments of the electorate, and in some particular areas, are less so, but that's not the national average when you take into account the redstate hinterlands.

Atlas is overwhelmingly left leaning in comparison to the USA as a whole, and most racism and misogyny is on the right.

A disproportionate share of the most racist and misogynistic posters here also often end up getting banned, which also makes Atlas/talkelections less racist and misogynistic over time.

Although actually, thinking about it a bit more, it is possible that Atlas is less racist but also equally (or more) misogynistic than the country as a whole because Atlas is more male. The electorate is slight majority female, which limits how misogynistic it can be to some extent.

Harris isn't running for Prez she is running for Veep it would be catastrophic for her to be replaced given some of Biden weakness with blk voters.

When Harris runs for Prez in 28 we will have that debate with Gavin Newsom

It's neither racist nor misogynistic. She's just not a likable person. There are plenty of other woman running mates Biden could've chosen that would've been better. I also didn't like how she tried to paint Biden as a racist/ segregationist, and was open to believing Tara Reade, in the 2020 primaries.

Excuse me, are we talking about Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton here?
I got a bit confused because the talking points are virtually the same.

With whom? It would likely alineate some black and/or female voters.
She isn´t the best candidate, but replacing VPs isn´t normal. The last time it happened, it was Henry Wallace and Harris doesn´t have his baggage of weaknesses.

Just remember Obama selected Harris for Biden instead of Susan Rice, just think if Newsom picked Barbara Lee instead for the S he could of been more of a hero to blks than picking someone else.

It was the Gaza war that hurt Barbara Lee chances for S and raised up Schiff chances. But, I am supporting Newsom regardless for Prez in 28

I know that many of you dislike Kamala, but please stop it. Asking this question over and over again is unnecessary.

This "not likable" argument is put on a lot of women in politics and with little or no supporting argument.  Why exactly is she unlikable? It seems like this term has lost substance because people think just because they don't like someone they are universally unlikable.

I like Hillary and feel she was treated very unfairly from 1992 onward, and think she was a smarter person than her husband and wish she'd become President. It is one of the big regrets of my lifetime that we didn't have a President Hillary Clinton. I think she'd have done a good job.

I just don't like Kamala. Her personality is pretty cringe and again, calling Biden a segregationist and implying he's a sexual predator in the primaries to me was too low a blow and made me lose respect for her.

Again, disliking Kamala Harris (one woman out of millions in this country alone) doesn't mean you are sexist or have any ill feeling toward all women.

No. She's not the reason Trump's winning, and dumping her for "lack of popularity" would do more harm than good.

Republicans like white identity politics so much they nominated a rapist.

No, the reaction would be worse if they did that than if they kept her.

Yes, replace both Biden and Kamala with Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin because that ticket would be able to relegate Donald Trump to the dustbin of history
