Republicans have had three weeks to dust off the oppo-research on Kamala as well. The Daily Wire has alreaday made three 20+ minute Scamala videos to remind us. She'd started 2020 as the top non-Bernie candidate but couldn't hold pole (nor poll) position and faded. If she'd been able to run a good campaign then, this would have been the 2020 matchup. She's being gift wrapped a coronation, we'll see if things work out better this time.

Act Blue is very well know. Its the same Dem campaign PAC that the Trump shooter contributed $15 towards. It seems a lot of these big Dem donors that were hodling back while Biden was in the race to put leverage on Pelosi and Schumer to pressure him out are making good on those pledges.

It's a sold speech. A lot of strawman arguments regarding what she frames as Trump's polices, but alas. She certainly looks better than Biden.

It's bothered me the whole time, they should have never had that debate before Biden secured the nomination. If they'd have waited until after the convention, this would have been over. It's not good seeing the Dems were given a lifeline. That it's Kamala is some comfort though. There are other way better candidates, and those candidates may well have wilted on the vine dealing with Kamala in 2028 if Biden had stuck around in 2024.

^^^^ This is what happened.

You've never seen anything like it because you've never seen a party implode like the Democrats have for the last three weeks. I mean, yeah, it was fun watching all the infighting and intrigue. I was rooting for Joe to outlast them. Now things gel around a non-Biden and it'll soon more resemble a normal campaign. So that's a relief for you. You have to rely on Kamala not being repugnant again. She comes across as a less competent, less likeable Hillary, but we can cross that bridge later. Maybe she'll be better this time. For now just be relieved Biden is gone. For my part, I'm not happy he's gone. This election was a slam dunk. It still should be a layup unless Kamala improves greatly from what we've seen.

No. Of course not. The 10 years of smears on Trump driving up his negatives still exist. Joe will be missed because he had no way of recovering.

None of the MAGAturds posting here are panicking. She is an upgrade on Joe though. Further, she will have an opportunity to reinvent herself, and unlike steadily declining Joe, has some chance to pull it off. We'll all get to watch her try.

She's going to have her work cut out for her because she exudes phoniness and hasn't got any understanding or appeal to these voters. Things that work in San Francisco or California do not work there.

Obama is a large reason she's where she is. They may try to do an end run around her anyway since she's been uninspiring, unpopular and not very good at anything. Still she's a better candidate than Biden in that at least she has a pulse.

She's been perceived as inauthentic, prone to word salad, unlikable, and incompetent. We'll get a good look for the next 3 1/2 months, and see if she can change the impression and rise to the challenge.

Pretty much. I don't feel that one was hoisted on the world for woke reasons.

We're not supposed to call her a DEI hire either. Fock it. I don't cede the language to leftoids chose to my words for me. Especially when they're accurate. They're trying to ban the word 'mother' after all. Until there is no longer breathe in my lungs, or fingers to type with, they're still the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians too. Full speed ahead.

Wordle 1,128 5/6 🟨🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Couldn't find anything to work with. When my streaks end, I find the compulsion to try evaporates. If I've got a streak over ten though, I'm usually pretty good about kicking in the motivation.

Chicken and egg indeed. I tease my wife that I'm going to get her one but she doesn't want it. She's an itty-bitty Asian lady that wants an itty-bitty car.

Shapiro would be a solid choice with a great chance of winning, but he is in the party of DEI and will run into the Kamala buzzsaw. Voting for him is sexist and racist and male Dems getting labeled like that wilt.

Hillary dabbled with birtherism but it was Trump that ran hard with it, which together with "grab 'em by the pu$$y" were the two biggest reasons it took so long for me to warm to him.

This is how I dance. :bagoverhead:

It is great ... but now that we have the ability to make our political opponents say anything we want, we're asking for trouble unless we make this illegal unless clearly marked as parody.

So be it. It doesn't matter what Democrats think/claim about racism. She wasn't picked for her talent or ability. She was picked for her gender and skin color. But she'll get a chance to showcase herself now. Also as a reminder before I voted for the Orange Satan, I voted for Black Satan twice. The first time, position-by-position, I might have preferred McCain overall but in the end, no. One position overwhelmed the rest: the war in Iraq. As for Romney, he was dead to me from the start, a total flatline registering not a blip of interest. Before that was the Bushtard who I despise. That was a nice run of Dem presidential votes after going for Ross my first two times.

Not really. Just need the right one, which we haven't come across yet. The best British PM of our lifetime was a woman. Italy is well served by a woman. France would be well advised to embrace a woman. I don't like Merkel but she was an effective advocate for her policies, same thing can be said about Ursela van der Leyen.

The Dems are the party responsible for hoisting DEI onto the country because they actually like DEI. Here we have Harris as their DEI Vice President. Any Dems with misgivings about her had better shut up and swallow them; they've painted themselves into a DEI corner and ready or not, here she comes. They're riding that DEI darling now.

Of course. You need to ask? Calling her a DEI hire is racist too.

I knew all along it was a mistake to debate Biden before he secured the nomination because I expected this to happen. Now we have an unwelcome turn of events.

Its probably Kamala time. If Team Beelzebub decides to fock her over too, 25th Amendment Biden out of there.
