"Twitter is not real life" is usually said by someone who reads the NYT and Playbook each day. (Also not representative of the U.S. population overall.) And "not real life" is good in some ways. https://t.co/yyqeu3LX8k — PolitiTweet.org

The interview she did today featured some 2024 gossip. But generally, she said nothing interesting and repeated administration talking points---like what vp's always do. https://t.co/isLlF9Zhcf — PolitiTweet.org

I tried to explore this in a piece a few months back. The discourse about Vice President Harris is at times quite disconnected from Harris. https://t.co/bcCHMSmLy5 — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the questions about Harris are really about the party as a whole and America in 2021. The potential Buttigieg-Demmings, Buttigieg-Abrams, Klobuchar-Booker, Booker-Klobuchar, Buttigieg-Whitmer tickets will have some of these same tensions. — PolitiTweet.org

I tend to assume Biden runs in 2024. But the future is unknowable. That said, it was not an accident or surprise Harris was on the ticket. Some people predicted a Biden-Harris ticket in 2018. — PolitiTweet.org

The reality is that people are skeptical of her as a presidential candidate not because of her vp performance but because 1. she wasn't a great candidate in 2019 2. race 3. gender. Parceling out 1 versus 2 and 3 is hard---"she is not great at being vp either" sidesteps that. — PolitiTweet.org

It seems like the answers to these questions are "yes" and "who knows?" I think there is a loosely-organized effort from Dems who don't like Harris to cast her as a terrible vp, thereby implying she would be a terrible POTUS candidate and president too. — PolitiTweet.org

The coverage of the vice-president would benefit from clearly separating these two distinct questions: 1. Is Harris fine at the vague/amorphous/often unimportant role of being vp? and 2. If democracy hangs in the balance, is she a strong candidate if Biden does not run? — PolitiTweet.org

I know Twitter is not real life. But even on Twitter, it's worth looking at how actual candidates running in swing states sound. "Democrats should not run on defunding the police" isn't a particularly useful analysis, considering no Dem in a competitive race is running on that. — PolitiTweet.org

I took a close look at the serious drop in Biden's approval ratings, argued that it seems like a more complicated story than "inflation" and explained how they might improve (or go down further, the future is unknowable.) https://t.co/Mypz6IHXCB — PolitiTweet.org
