    something about the sheer force of the hopium makes me think she’s going to explode into a fireball in the general. this is going way too smoothly for the democrats not to find a way to fuck it up.

      She’s not a blank canvas though. She has a record, she has positions - and more importantly we know the positions she abandoned when she ran for president in 2020. That makes radlibs thinking she’s going to be any different than Biden is silly

        Libs don’t look at records or positions or policies. They watch someone talk a few times on TV and base their opinions on if they liked that TV

        That was the cleverness of MAGA, say we’re going to make America great again, but avoid specifics about when it was last great or what made it great at that time. Let the piggies fill in the gaps for themselves.

        had to go re-read that article for fun

        Staffers who worked for Harris before she was vice president said one consistent problem was that Harris would refuse to wade into briefing materials prepared by staff members, then berate employees when she appeared unprepared.

        “It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” one former staffer said. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

            “Hello Mr. Amlo- what’s that? Who the fuck is Claudia? SHEINBAUM?? You’re telling me the president of México is a woman called CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM? What happened to president Amlo? What do you mean that’s not his name?.. excuse me Mr president Amlo Sheinbaum, I have to throw a stapler at my staffer. I will return in a moment to discuss how we can traffic- uhh stop traff- stop the trafficking of drugs across the border.”

        Pretty good. I always want to ask them what Trump would do that Biden hasn’t but by this part of the argument, I’m usually so frothing mad that I’m calling them disgusting Nazi scum and getting banned from whatever forum we’re on.

          I’ve had a lot of liberals telling me that “Kamala has to play politics” and that we can’t criticize her because we are fighting fascism (she isn’t a fascist presiding over a genocide, obviously). I have found they get really indignant when you ask them what other groups besides Arabs/Muslims whose lives they think it’s OK to “play politics with” in order to “defeat fascism”. Black people? Trans people? Migrants?

            You don’t ‘play politics’ to defeat fascism if you truly are attempting to defeat fascism, historically fascism wins that game every time.

      If you were a real liberal you’d know that Biden isn’t doing genocide it’s just a very complicated situation.

    Its infuriating seeing people who should know better act like she’s anything other than what we already know she is! Harris isn’t an unknown quantity. We already know she is like every other neoliberal that ran in 2020, except she was even worse at running a campaign than any of them but Beto lol.

    She’s a complete ghoul and radlibs are pretending she might not do genocide because…? Vibes?

    Man, so if she wins we watch all the libs deride the left to ‘give her time to change policy direction’ from brunch her entire first term… or if Trump wins we get to watch them rediscover all the Biden policies they forgot they hated and have em blame the left for not turning out to fix them…hmm I can’t decide which libererun i’d rather see.

      If she wins we’ll be told they didn’t need us anyway.
      If she loses it’ll be because of us.

    It seems like the media blob has decided to remove the mandate of heaven from Trump and give it to Harris. She has managed to stay untainted by Genocide Joe’s regime and now she has the advantage of being seen as a blank slate that people can project whatever they want on.

    If he campaign is smart and let her say as little as possible, she can probably keep the show going long enough to win.

    Once in office things will be different as nothing will fundamentally change and the decay will continue, paving the way for whatever the next iteration of American fascism is going to look like.

        I think it was on Trueanon they said that lots and lots of libs are desperate to return to the good old days of not having to care about politics and that Kamala is good enough for them to be able to do so.

    They don’t care about Gaza. They don’t care whether or not she’s radical. They just say she is to piss you off. At the end of the day, Harris is in her white house. All is right with the world.

    Vibes win elections. But if she doesn’t have control of the congress, people are going to get as upset as they were with biden sans the age.

    If she does have control of congress, it’ll be only by a small majority. And that would look even worse when she doesn’t get anything done.

    People are happy now. But I can’t see this ending well unless she is personally ambitious.

      But don’t actually pressure her, that’s bad politics. Good politics is when you vote for the democrats and if you vote hard enough you get to hope they do something you want. I am a leftist just like you, which is why I spend all my time telling people that they should unconditionally support the democrats and also nothing good is possible so don’t even work towards achieving anything, just sit down and shut the fuck up and vote for the democrats uhhh comrade… It’s what Marx would have wanted, which I know because I am a leftist just like you.

      Also you’re not a leftist, you’re a red fash tankie idealist naive bro

    Only people on this site would get me when I say I’m utterly baffled how I’m watching the exact same force that “organically” coalesced to endorse Biden in 2020 when flattened-bernie was about to run away with it. Not like he would’ve done anything, but think about how much of a threat a negligible tax increase posed.

    Absolutely terrifying how organized the bourgeois are. How do people not recognize that they’re just as subservient to US capital as the people of the CPP are to socialist characteristics

      They recognize it just fine. They simply do not care. Remember a lot of Americans think of themselves as “temporarily embarrassed billionaires.” Or their adherence to the white, cisshit, male power structure means they will gladly stamp out anything that threatens that power.

      Despite the obviousness of the DNC rallying around Biden during the primary, they still got more people to vote along the party line. They still had to get the majority of votes for Biden and that’s exactly what happened because so-called liberals want to uphold American hegemony more than they want healthcare or education.
