I will confess that a month ago I said replacing Biden with Kamala would be a mistake. I was so wrong. She is absolutely killing it. She is bringing exactly the right energy and tone this campaign needs to take on Trump. She is not taking any of his shit but doing it with so much class it really does highlight how disgusting Trump and his goons are.
I was in the same boat. Basically the second they announced it a wave of relief washed over me and I realized this is what we need
Edit: I wasn’t expecting so much interaction. I’m glad that she is gaining everybody’s support, and giving us a bit of electricity needed to get through this final push towards election time!
I was pretty distraught after the announcement, but within a few hours as the wave of support built, I came out of the hole and started feeling positive. So glad that the support fell behind so quickly.
I also have felt unburdened by what has been, as if a spell was cast on me. I had no doubt though that replacing Joe Biden with literally anyone, including his son or dog, would increase democrats chance of winning. I think in my case it was more of letting go of pent up anger towards the rotting carcass of the current president and all those who campaigned for his reelection. Including the lovely folk of lemmy, for whom I still might hold some animosity. To those that rode hard for Biden, a sincere fuck you.
Thank God Dems got their act together. Thank God Biden stepped aside. This is a much better timeline now.
Biden was still the right choice if the Dems were never going to run someone else. Full stop. Trump literally just told Christian voters they’ll never have to vote again if they vote for him this time.
But I never “rode hard for Biden” in the sense that I felt he should’ve been the choice for the Dems. My argument has always been whoever the Dems pick is necessary to save the democratic process in this country (among many other things).
I am relieved the conversation has broken free from simply voting against Trump to having a choice people might actually like. Proof is going to be in the pudding, but I’m cautiously optimistic.

Right there with ya
“I’m Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.”
That sits right next to “i don’t need a ride, i need ammo” on my badass quotes shelf.
I wasn’t sure she was the answer, but the debate was so appalling, I felt something had to change. I find her far more compelling than I thought I would.
Harris was a prosecutor, and a successfully I hear, there was never any chance Trump would risk debating her on live TV. He maybe able to fire hose lies against Biden, but Harris would rip him apart, and the best part is, he knows it. He has nothing to gain from debating her, so he will come up with excuse after excuse to avoid it.
Harris ran for president in 2019 but did terribly in the first dem primary debate and dropped out early, fwiw. We’ll see what happens vs Trump.
Trump is easier to debate for democrats who don’t care as much about decorum as Biden. A primary debate requires much more delicacy, because you can’t all out attack the others without potentially prejudicing voters against your party’s eventual nominee, should you lose.
Biden did well in the latter scenario, because he’s very good at politicking. I think Harris would do better in the former because of her greater willingness to openly mock trump. Hopefully we get to see.
Did she do terribly during the debate? I remember watching and thinking she seemed smart and articulate, but didn’t have the name recognition and backing to get very far in the primaries.
She was a party favorite but Tulsi Gabbard called her out on her prosecutorial record and that ended her, I believe.
Trump can’t run to her left like most of the 2020 Democratic field did.
Trump is the kid that throws the controller when he realizes that the final boss has two health bars.
Can he even reach the bumpers on a controller?
Savage!
Omfg this visual was gold in my mind.
This is ridiculous. I can’t believe there is a phase 2!
and new boss form gets stronger
I like presidential candidates that aren’t cowards.
Hahaha what a puss
I know I’m reaching but it would be wonderful if they took this as an opportunity to turn the event into a town hall for Harris. Don’t participate, lose your stage.
Good. Call him a coward. Making him feel small is the only way to get him out.
I mean… They’re not wrong. Why the hell would he go get curb stomped now instead of waiting until she’s technically gotten the nomination?
It’d be fun to watch the beatdown, but I doubt it’ll ever happen.

You’re the real hero!
I just figure I have to get the link anyway if I want to read it; why not save others the time? :)
Time to man up and be an alpha man or whatever it is MAGA screeches about incessantly.
Lmao
Fits donnie boy perfectly based on what Stormy Daniels has to say about it: https://web.archive.org/web/20240508055746/https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a23301515/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-penis-mushroom/
And I quote:
She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small.”
“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”
Certainly sounds like low penetrating power to me.
Anyway, now that I’ve researched a geriatric fascist’s small dick and low sexual energy in detail, I think I’m done with the internet today and gonna go touch some grass. Later y’all!
Also, during the trial, she heavily implied, but did not outright say, that she did not consent.
Yeah I recall hearing about an armed guard standing outside the room and him getting naked, on par with his low quality mobster bullshit.
I saw low penetration and immediately thought of couch height.
The Trump camp released that statement saying “there is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone better” on Thursday the 25th, the same day the Obamas enthusiastically endorsed Harris.
Orange pussy bitch.
Don’t forget convicted rapist and 34x felon, so far. Fuckin orange shit gibbon
He’s going for the Parker Brothers defense, if you can’t win the debate become a petulant child and flip the board over.

Well I’m glad folks are doing it on here…so much information is behind a paywall and there are times when it feels like the links are put up by the actual organization to try and drive up new subs
