Nevermind that people *do* discuss the Mrs Obama as she is electrifying to the base....but Biden isn't running so they aren't talking about her.
But they are.
And people aren't talking about Harris - during ALL these other conversations because Biden is running.
Ok on this one -- yeah - -- - they aren't and nobody here has. Not once.
Perhaps it's because you insist in couching all your posts in the performance art of this "EchotaSheeple" character you like to play, but maybe I misunderstood you. You didn't ask why "people" were talking about Obama and not Harris - you used one of your elliptical references to "Corporate Liberals." Which you never define, but I understood to refer to either the posters on this board you argue with or just moderate/centrist Democrats in general.
On this board, the people who are talking about Obama and Newsome possibly running are almost entirely conservatives - not Corporate Liberals. Mostly hclasvegas, who is fixated on the idea that there exists some group of Democrats that can (and will) replace Biden with someone else at some point. The Corporate Liberals aren't talking about replacing Biden with Obama - the Conservatives are. Though again, hclasvegas is the main one who keeps bringing it up, and they talk mostly about Johnson.
In the larger world, again the idea of replacing Biden with Obama is one that conservatives love to talk about - it fits neatly with their conspiratorial beliefs that the Obamas are "really" in charge and that Biden has no agency. Hard core progressives also like to talk about alternatives to Biden, because they are disappointed that their dreams of transformational change have not come to pass. But "Corporate Liberals" aren't out there talking up the idea of Obama running. They'll throw out criticisms of Biden, but they're not really advocating someone run against him.
And finally, as mentioned upthread, if you are idly speculating about who might run against Biden, you can't include anyone presently serving in the Administration - because they can't run against them. No, it doesn't violate the laws of physics - but the perceived betrayal against running against the President you're serving with would sink their campaigns before they even got started. Which is one of the main reasons why not only Harris, but also Buttigieg doesn't get talked about much as the imaginary candidate that's going to take on Biden in these discussions - even though Buttigieg is certainly looking at a 2028 run. You'd have to resign on the spot, you'd torch all your political resources within the Administration (rather than hopefully inherit them when the incumbent is done), and many of the voters would despise the perceived betrayal. And (also) again, since you're in the Administration, you have to own all the actions of the Administration - so there's not much of a "switch" away from the status quo. So it's not plausible.
