I'm Australian so being an english speaker on the internet I have an opinion on American politics because no matter how hard I try to escape it I cant. So if I have to hear about it incessantly Im going to keep throwing my half informed opinion in.

But FUCK ME is the Harris/Walz ticket well thought out. You have a sitting Dem VP who is female and a POC with a history of being "tough on crime" and a male white late middle aged former high ranking NCO veteran with a history of some super liberal policies in his midwestern home state...

The big, glaring thing they missed is that nobody really likes Harris. She did poorly in the primaries, had a terrible approval rating as VP, and her platform is basically Biden's, and he had a pretty low approval rating as well. She has "diversity hire" written all over her.

That said, she ticks a lot of boxes and Americans tend to have pretty short memories, so I think she has a fighting chance. If she had a stronger campaign when she ran for President, she'd be a lock-in. I think she needs to sound like Obama to win the election.
