Doesn’t matter who the VP pick is, the big wet boi is cooked.
Trump’s followers will do some terrorism like they usually do, but the majority of them will become disenfranchised and go the way of the tea party - still present, still a pain in the ass, but ineffectual. They will devote their time to Trump’s new talk show and he will sell them Trump hairy balls strong man supplements and other scams.
American empire will continue to expand, nothing will fundamentally change. Blue MAGA is the new order.
Kamala Harris represents the same type of cultural and social malaise that Trump does but in a different form. It’s all about how cruel you can be to get ahead. People like Kamala wrap themselves in a blanket of false kindness, of “nice vibes” but in reality they are just as evil, just the same as more blatant and obvious narcissists like Trump.
You can keep people imprisoned beyond their sentencing, using them as self-admitted slave labor because it’s simply too profitable to release them, and you can be president one day. It’s all about how much debasement we will accept from our society.

Trump looks more and more weak, however he just needs to win the two swing states he is already polling his highest in, Georgia and Pennsylvania, and he wins.
Full agreement. I wasn’t sure until Saturday when I saw Trump speak.
Live hes so boring and low energy. He barely got the crowd going… Got his biggest cheer when he said he’d fire Gary Gensler. A minute later he just said it again to try and get people cheering.
Just old and wet and tired.
Now I’m fully coconut pilled.
But of course anything could happen. Maybe someone tries to shoot Harris or something and in true Democratic excellence she spins that into a losing proposition somehow
The “weird” comment was more effective than any campaigning Biden did
VP pick does matter in at least one instance: Josh Shapiro could tank her chances in Michigan, and most of her pathways to victory run through Michigan. Other than that, I’d agree that her VP matters very little
I’m clearly not up-to-date on Michigan politics. Why would Shapiro tank her in Michigan?
Michigan has a significant population of Arab Americans who are not fans of US support for genocide in Gaza. Josh Shapiro has been very pro-Israel and hostile to anti-Zionist protests, so adding him to the ticket would not play with those voters, who may stay home or even vote for Trump out of spite.
Trump has been acting like a loser lately. They need to find a better drug mix or he’s Toever
Probably
Harris as candidate improves their chances in that it removes the sundowning old white man problem. But Harris still has charisma and organizational issues, economy still sucks for most people, still signing off on a genocide. I’m not saying Trump has it for sure, but the honeymoon is going to end soon and I’m sure the Republicans will be able to come up with something better that old cat lady.
I’m not so convinced. The Republicans only have a few weeks to regain the initiative in time to turn the election around and they’ve got nothing on Harris that they haven’t already deployed.
I’m not sure they can get out of this slump right now, Vance is wildly repulsive. And the rallying cry of Trump’s nearly funny moment fizzled in the news cycle, with no discernable blip on the polling as a result. MAGA freaks have some real tired and desperate vibes rn too, and they keep doubling down on creepy and weird positions when faced with any pushback.
I think the shooter being basically apolitical and doing it out of the same nihilism and alienation as mass shooters really killed any momentum it might’ve generated. If it had been some ridin’ with Biden fool or other Democrat dumbass it might’ve gotten some traction, but instead it ended up being memory holed just like any other mass shooting
it ended up being memory holed just like any other mass shooting

I’ll admit I’m a little surprised that it made so little impact. When it was happening I figured that it was game over, gg, trump won, but I’m astounded that in the space of two weeks it’s like it never happened at all
trump got shot like two weeks ago and I keep having to remind myself that that happened
three months is a long time
Slaps roof of three months
You can fit so many decades in this bad boy
hope the next guy has a scope
Her anti charisma doesn’t matter when the most charismatic people support her and turn her rallies into a concert.
Hillary presents Jay-Z and Beyoncé!

Dems are just arrogant enough to pull off experiencing a second major humiliation.
Then as farce and all that.
They will still learn nothing from it because they can only be failed, and will blame the left once again.
I’ve thought that too… but she doesn’t have decades of propaganda and hate directed at her from being in the international spotlight. Harris seems to just have been forgotten about in the media narrative until now. Also, she’s not Clinton.
it really is amazing how much trump and the republicans bungled the assassination attempt, like when I heard the news and saw that picture I thought it was over for sure, but they really didn’t capitalize on it at all
Def, like the pic was cool but it’s not the 20th century anymore, we all heard him say ‘wait, I gotta have my little photo op’ and other shit - the spectacle is dead.
I didn’t hear that, did he get caught on a hot mic? lol
Not verbatim, it was the whole 'wait, I gotta get my shoes ', then stalling to get himself together for his little fist pump photo. Like Hasan said - ‘the man’s a media goblin! Imagine keeping yourself together through being shot at to have the wherewithal to do a photo op’.
Bro picked the worst possible candidate for VP as well. They could’ve dug up Ronald Reagan and raise him to unlife with the same spell Dems use on Biden and he’d be a better VP than Vance.
RSP is predicting a red wave, so you are correct.
Predicting election results this far out is pointless in a country where the political lines are as blurred as they are in the US.
Something like half of the people polled after the Minneapolis police station got torched thought it was a good thing (or at least that it was justified); I severely doubt those same people feel that way now. The country’s electorate is incredibly fickle and biased towards the aesthetic of the moment, as reactionaries are wont to be, to say nothing of their memory.
3 months is a lot of time for things to happen.
May these 3 months be funny.
the celebrations after she wins are going to be the most insufferable shit imaginable, worse than when Biden won. I think I’m just gonna try to go to sleep for the entirety of November through March
USA! USA! USA!
Oh you bet. It will get treated like an Obama moment where the nonwhite girl boss defeated the evil white man.
I still exhibit a gag reflex when I hear the word ‘historic’
Real hexbear hibernation hours
I’m not going to say it’s a guarantee even now. It does look like a low-point for Trump with a large portion of the country genuinely hating him. The same was true of Biden but Kamala is such a blank slate that people can just assume what they want about her.
Unlike Mondale, Gore, Lieberman, and Biden. Harris has no history of being a boisterous “moderate.” This helps a lot with her perceived image. Still think she’s a charismatic sinkhole and that Dems have an uncanny ability to fuck things up.
True, but for the weird segment of the population that will decide based on debates, I think she’s going to mop the floor with him, she’s been a successful prosecutor - a true debate pervert boss.
