      He’s just going to call her “lyin’” or “crooked” or something like that, so she might as well call him what he is…a criminal.

      It’s that kind of tit-for-tat that you wouldn’t get from Joe Biden, who was worried about looking polite and respectable. It just wound up making him look weak.

        I think the most streamlined nickname the lab-coat wearing neurons in his swollen, cancerous amygdala could come up with is “laffin’” and he had to fucking explain to the sheep he’s trying to herd to he wanted it spelled.

        Flailing. Bigly.

          I think he wants to make sure his followers use the correct “urban” spelling to help the dog whistle spread.

    I’ll tell you all a secret:

    Win this for us all and we can do almost the same thing. In four years we could make voting easier. We could collectively push to end gerrymandering and implement a fair and true foundation for a stronger and better system. If Trump and his cronies truly believe they can take down everything that has been built, I bet we can begin building a better tomorrow through the action of each of us as individuals, working together towards a more positive future.

    Let’s pay to deliver our future and not get robbed to repeat the past.

      Yeah, but don’t stop at Trump. Get the fuckers out of the House/Senate too. Vote against Trump-lite mayors, , councils, and civil positions. This doesn’t mean always vote D, but stop letting insane candidates win via voter apathy, whatever the riding.

      Where you can, make a difference yourself. Run for HOA, school board, etc yourselves and get the power-tripping fucktards out.

      I’ll bet we can do it by working together as groups.

    It’s weird that I knew all this but it’s way more chilling to have Harris’ campaign tell us.

        No. To me it’s because no other campaign going against Trump acknowledged any of trumps treasonous rhetoric and acted like it was just some silly goof they were going against. For 8 years they let this man lie and fire up a base and make every problem the American is facing the lefts fault. The news media ate it and doubled down. Now half of the Republicans thinks democrats are children eating demons and that they are the enemy destroying America. It didn’t help that Biden’s campaign was “I’m not the other guy” without bringing any substantive relief. Harris coming with receipts and bringing up the straight up treason from Trump’s campaign is what needed to be happening day 1. Kamala’s policy is going to be important, but right now the biggest danger to America’s future isn’t student debt relief or universal Healthcare. It’s fascism. And we’re there at fascism. The nazi party isn’t going away. Burn it down, bring up how it does not belong in America, pacify the people by giving them substance to live and not be forced to raise a family in debt from grocery shopping.

    Where was this posted? I want to be able to open the blue links! I just searched for it and found nothing. There’s nothing in the official Whitehouse.gov Briefing Room page. There’s nothing on Twitter from her official account (and shame on you for making me go to that shithole to look!)

    Look, obviously vote like your life depends on it, but we’re going to have to do something more than vote eventually.

    This is the third election we’ve had to deal with Trump. This kind of threat to democracy will exist with every election until we do something to make the US population less fascist.

    Fortunately, we have a cult of personality surrounding an elderly man, rather than a legitimate political movement, so he will eventually die and take a lot of political energy with him.

    Is ‘Harris for President’ directly connected to her? Or is it just an independent group?

    Hate to be picky but that isn’t a Harris statement, it’s a statement by an official of her campaign. Not that that she (and I) wouldn’t agree

    Additionally, I will be voting Kamela, however I will continue to remind everyone that we don’t actually vote for president. There’s no need to advertise anything to us. We will all pretend voting for president as we are expected to.

    I suggest that the campaigns find and focus on electors…you know, the actual real people who choose who our president and leader of the free world will be. They, out of their own freewill, and not due to our suggestive votes, will choose whoever paid them more. So purchase your presidential seat wisely!

    As for the rest of us, I really do hope Kamela wins! I know my vote is 1000% completely just a suggestion for some asshole to vote Kamela. But I hope she wins. I also hope the Republican party keeps Trump around for a few more elections just to watch him grow…chi chi chi Chia! If he makes it to two more election years l’d be impressed and probably will feel sad for whoever has to push that sack of shit around on a wheelchair in the next few years.
