I'm so fucking stoked now that we can shit on Republicans for having an old candidate. We should reeeallly lean on this. Come up with slogans:

Diaper Donald the Geriatric Cheeto Pedo

And post it on billboards all over purple counties

You can look at all my comments today to see my enthusiasm. I wish more folks were feeling hopeful. I told my partner I was stoked and she was so confused as to why this shouldn't be perceived as a full scale collapse.

I didn't like Kamala in the past. I didn't like Biden either. Politically speaking, they both align closely with one another and are also aligned quite close to my political leanings, ideally speaking. I didn't like the baggage Kamala brought with her and I didn't like how boring ole Biden was. Turns out boring won, and I've truly valued the work he's done since 2020.

I've also come around on Kamala since then, especially after reading her book, and listening to some of her speeches more recently. I don't think she's the same person she was 20+ years ago. Who among us would say that about ourselves? I think she's evolved away from the drug criminalization prosecutor era, and she's clearly gotten a lot stronger since 2020 as both a public speaker and debater.

If her and Trump actually do have a debate (I doubt it) I fully expect her to completely embarrass him. She's much younger, much sharper, and has all of the right tools through her career to completely pants him as the old withering corpse that he has become even since 2016. Bonus points if she drops a "lock him up!" because, well, she actually could.

Yes, I am actually looking forward to voting for Harris. I would even more so if she taps Mark Kelly as her VP. That would be a dream.

I would love to see Trump speechless

Is that something that can actually happen?

This is the right attitude. Not in terms of political strategy, but in a practical sense. The point about how none of us are who were 20 years ago is huge. I appreciate all Joe's done and his huge patriotic sacrifice...

But now I'm actually hopeful! I'm enthusiastic! I'm energized! Join me in volunteering and donating, and make sure everyone you know votes. Donald Trump and his 2025 architects don't have a chance if we're all united!!!

It has do be done in the right way.

I suggest we find all the republican ones and write over the top in clear sharpie. Clearly still republican signs.

At least he was already wearing a diaper when that teen shot at him, he definitely shit his pants.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

They don't care. If the hypocrisy of saying that while running a 78 year old candidate is lost on you, consider that every word out of their mouth is projection, and they'll probably start saying stuff like Kamala doesn't have the experience to lead or that being half Indian makes her beholden to foreign powers or some shit, despite mango bastard being the most unfit to lead president in history and his various business and familial ties to foreign power.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

They do care. It's why they swap narratives. It's a mechanism on a cultural level derived by the negligence of Trump himself, that being his inability to take responsibility. Something the GOP has always done, turned up to 11. You don't fight this with facts, you fight it by targeting emotion.

This isn’t the weirdest thing that could happen.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago

What would be really crazy is if she then died while in office.

Trump cancels his presidential campaign, comes on board as Harris' VP nom

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

The way the founding fathers intended

"Originally, each elector cast two votes for president; at least one of the individuals voted for had to be from a state different from the elector's. The individual with the majority of votes became president, and the runner-up became vice president."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It would still be really fucking stupid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Wouldn’t that be a nice rule to have for world events.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

It's up there though

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 months ago

I guffawed. This was excellent.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 months ago

Any reason to keep wearing my dark brandon teeshirt.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The VP isn't that unimportant. If you can't do the job as President, you shouldn't be VP either.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Right that’s why Trump took another fascist so he can be sure next time he’ll do his bidding by not certifying the election.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'd try to avoid the Putin/Medvedev president -vice switch vibes...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This. Getting Biden in as a VP would threaten the legitimacy of the democracy, which was already in jeopardy by the DNC shoving the candidate through very weak primaries.

Can you imagine 🤯

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (30 children)

This is what I thought would happen if he stepped down. We'll see.
