yes it’s nice that it’s joever but kamala is fucking evil. she’s a cop, she laughed about putting parents in jail for their children’s truancy, and she wouldn’t let cannabis offenders out of prison after it was legalized because she got paid by private prison lobbies to do so. total scumbag who deserves absolutely 0 support from anybody but the most trump derangement syndrome riddled liberals

    She’s an awful candidate whose political career started because she dated the mayor of San Francisco who gave her a job which would sound like an awful sexist cliche if it wasn’t true

      Holy Jesus, Willie Brown. He was old when he retired and that itself was decades ago. He’s 31 years older than her.

    This is the consequence of the narrative that Biden was unpopular because he was old, not because his politics suck. I would really be surprised if Kamala, who has the same shitty politics, actually ends up being popular.

    Everything you’re saying is true, BUT!

    It would be deliciously humiliating for Hillary Clinton to have to watch the inauguration of the first woman president and it isn’t her.

                  it’s still a few years off though, no? March 4th 1861 -> November 20th 1942 is over 81 years. Biden was 78 when he took office. crazy that it’s so close but I can’t see how the trivia is true

            Al Pacino Excited To Spend Life Watching His Baby Grow Up To Be Toddler

            BEVERLY HILLS, CA—Following reports that the 83-year-old actor was expecting a child with his girlfriend, Al Pacino told reporters Thursday that he was excited to spend his life watching his baby grow up to be a toddler. “I’m going to be there for all of it, from the first smile and laugh, all the way to the first time they string two words together,” said Pacino, who acknowledged that although 24 months may seem like “all the time in the world,” he still intended to cherish every moment with his child like it was his last. “I know I won’t be around forever, of course. One day there will come a day when the child is 3 or 4. But if I’ve done my job as a parent, they’ll hopefully know how to fend for themselves at that point.” At press time, Pacino added that in the event the worst were to happen, Robert De Niro would serve as the child’s legal guardian.

      National primaries weren’t even a thing until relatively recently, but this is definitely a weird case–sort of analogous to the JFK assassination or Nixon stepping down, but those were both well before their respective conventions. Side note, but somehow I never knew that Reagan ran against Ford in the 1976 GOP primary and Ford barely edged him out.

      edit: sorry, I now realize what you meant but I’ll leave it up for the fun fact

      The current primary systems didn’t really exist until 1972. This was mainly in response to a bunch of people getting mad that the 1968 Democratic nominee, Hubert Humphrey, was nominated without a single primary vote because he simply inherited Lyndon B. Johnson’s delegates.

      I forgot she withdrew before the primaries even began in 2020 lmao. For some reason I thought she had gotten at least a couple delegates before flopping

      I think that’s why they’re gonna pick her. The election is already pretty much lost at this point and parading her around gives them like a triple idpol bonus that allows their voter base to cope with the loss by claiming they were too progressive for todays america.

        I think there’s a shot that Biden gets talked into resigning before January to officially make her the first woman/blasian president so they can go back to feeling good about running white guys.

    She is a complete ghoul. She and her family are also mobbed up with gig work companies. They helped campaign against rights and protections for gig workers.

    She’s also ridiculous and really bad at what is basically her only job - winning popularity contests lol

      iirc she was appointed to her first two public jobs simultaneously by Willie Brown, one of which she was ineligible by statute to hold (some kind of state public health board or medical board)

      Kamala’s husband, Douglas Emhoff, was also a lawyer for corporate clients including Wal-Mart and Merck Pharmaceuticals. So, pretty similar to the Clintons and other neolib Democrats. But maybe he’s gotten better recently? Maybe he has had a change of heart after seeing the guts of the imperialistic war machine? Let’s see what Doug has been up to lately: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/04/doug-emhoff-anti-semitism-college-campuses-00125384

      Emhoff: There is an ‘antisemitism crisis’ on our nation’s campuses

      “It’s an antisemitism crisis to be clear on our campuses and even in our K-through-12 schools, on our streets and our markets, wherever you go.”

      Yeah, don’t you hate it when you go to “the markets” and people magically know that you’re Jewish and start saying antisemitic things to you? Who among us has not tried to buy avocados at Whole Foods, and been asked to prove that we were not Jewish before being allowed to check out? I know that children in Gaza are starving and getting bombs dropped on him, but please spare a thought for poor old Doug. I’m sure it’s hard out there for Doug on “the streets.” (/s)

            Every single US president is at best complicit and at worst directly responsible for various mass deaths, wars, and genocides. You cannot name a US president who didn’t commit unforgivable crimes during their term except for maybe Harrison because he died immediately.
