Obama is a man. His demeanor, speaking style, and academic background made him almost white to some people and McCain seemed very old compared to him. A woman who "cackles", who has "done nothing as VP" is a woman and, a black woman is not going to garner much interest in low information swing voters. Plus she is smart and viscerally people react to that girl who thinks she is so smart when they are inclined to dislike her for all the other reasons.
Trump will seem very old next to Harris (and crazy too). In 2016 Hillary Clinton got more votes than Donald Trump when he was 8 years younger AND Clinton was older than Harris is now. Clinton was super smart and had an awful, hectoring voice and a phony laugh. In addition she had been demonized by the Right for decades as Bill Clinton's wife. She was a weak candidate following 8 years of a Democratic presidency, which would have made it hard for any Democratic candidate to win, and yet look how close she came to winning. Trump is not a strong candidate and never has been. The right Democratic candidate should be able to beat him easily. Biden is obviously not the right candidate, because if he was he would be leading handily in the polls by now. Getable voters (not MAGA nutcases) are sick to death of Trump.
Who is the "right" candidate? That's the sticking point for many people in a discussion of replacing Biden. Who is that "right" candidate that will move people to vote for instead of voting for Trump or sitting out the presidential slot on their ballots? Is it anybody but Biden? Can it be that simple?
We don’t know who the right candidate is, and that’s a huge risk. But if we think that Biden is not the right candidate than we should do something about it before it’s too late. I’m convinced that an average-or-better Dem candidate would do better against Trump than Biden at this point. Obviously a bad candidate would be a disaster, but it’s a huge risk staying with Biden too, because right now he is also a bad candidate (not a bad president, just a bad candidate). So there are no good options, but if we're convinced that Biden has no winning path than it makes no sense to stick with him and hope for the best.
The right candidate is the one who can beat Trump and that is not Biden. Trump is disliked by a majority of voters. They also think Biden is too old and weak. Yes, if the campaign is run well, it's that simple.

Agree with this!
