Is it a formality that the Democrat convention endorses Harris?

I'm assuming yes, but I've still not got my head around US elections, so interested to know what happens now.
 
What's with the right wing grifters being delighted at Harris being nominee, is she genuinely that unpopular/ not very good? So difficult to work out what is genuine
When running for the nomination in 2020 she didn't even make it to the first primary. That's how good she was. Dem insiders have been whispering that she is much improved recently. This could be true or it could just have been a PR campaign to help oust Biden. She has been damn atrocious in some of her appearances as VP. On Kamala's bad days she makes Hillary Clinton seem normal.

She almost certainly loses the Western swing states of Arizona and Nevada. Does a black Californian female win in the upper mid-West swing states? We'll see, but she not an improvement on Biden when Biden was seen as competent. Harris is not winning working class mid Westerners the way Biden did.

She will win a big female vote, especially with that idiot trumps running mates abortion views

Maybe, but I don't think abortion is as big of an issue in the white working class areas of the mid-West as it isn't, say, Cal or NY. I think Harris also wins less black males than Joe Biden, and Biden was already struggling with younger black males.
 
We’ll see if these polls change once she is no longer a hypothetical nominee


She basically has 100 days until the election to define herself to those who don’t know her well and contrast against Trump.

Tough job but hopefully she can do it.


I think the three things they have to do are (besides picking the right VP):

i) focus on Vance, and who funded him
ii) reach out to the Trump base in ways they can understand - start conspiracy theories, make them join the dots
iii) for Trump, just refer to him as a doddering old man - not a racist, a threat to democracy, a sex pest or anything like that, just someone close to death and easily manipulated

... basically just give people a simple message, something like the tech bros funded this and want to take your country away. Musk and Thiel are fundamentally weird as it is, make it look like they are trying to take over (they might be!) and all the unholy things they want - an end of privacy, man-machine interfaces etc etc. Bang the drum over and over again, in red states and potentially red states.
