I’m just happy that we can take Brisket off suicide watch. At least for the time being.

The presidential election has everthing:

Attempted assassination, incumbent quitting, challenger trying to pull a Grover  Cleveland, black woman nominee, and a wide open party  convention for vp.

All we need are another pandemic and some riots and we can check all the boxes.

Boy, the Governor of a state with really shitty infrastructure who abandons his state in a time of need has the lack of working balls to criticize someone else.

Convention is in Chicago. Somebody dig up Norman Mailer, use a revival spell, and let’s do this thing!!

Countdown to full on racism from the Republicans.

You can be damn sure those mfers will do their best to Swift Boat her but that's a minefield for them to navigate when the target is a black woman.

They will. This won't be nearly as chaotic as people think. No one who wants a legitimate shot in 2028 (assuming we get that) will put their name in right now. 

Do I have to watch Van Jones cry? Joe didn’t die.

She's not facing the incumbent. Kerry was easy to dispatch. She also needs to kill off her dumb catchphrase. It's not as bad as "Help Is ON THE WAY" but still. 

Can she win? That’s all I care about. Trump has to be defeated at all costs.

Seriously though: there need to be a series of Sherman-esque statements from Whitmer, Newsom, et al in the next 24 hours.

Edited by Bateshorn

I think everyone is forgetting about the best possible VP choice for Kamela. It’s someone who has been a Washington insider, who has deep political experience, and has tremendous foreign policy experience. That VP candidate? Joe Biden.

I’m starting to think the delay in his withdrawing was mostly to get a broad consensus to commit to backing Harris publicly as soon as he announced 

probably told those hesitant to commit that he would just stay in if they didn’t

Right but Kerry was riding a huge wave of momentum and those Swift Boat ads absolutely torched his chances.

I had to immediately change the channel. Van Jones is terrible.

And I imagine the avalanche of endorsements will come after his national address. Let him speak first

Bro, that was 20 years ago. Well before social media. You can easily answer any bullshit with your own bullshit now.

That fucker only cares about chaos. It's now the standard operation procedure for CNN. Stop giving them your views. 

I predict we are going to see Dark Brandon re-emerge as a campaigner and everyone's gonna be all "where was this Joe Biden in June/July!?!?!" and the media is gonna be hawk tuah'ng Joseph Robinette Biden and I'll be "uh, he was there all along y'all just didn't want to see it because he's old."

But it's undeniable that Kamala's candidacy will reinvigorate the electorate to defeat MAGA.

I'm loving the pearl-clutching.  I'm on record as saying I don't think Kamala can win.  At this point, I don't think Joe can win.  Kamala is the better (best) choice.  Dems need to get behind her candidacy, tell the Republicans to fuck off with their hysteria about the primaries, first-call put her at the top of the ticket with Shapiro as veep, and then GET OUT ON THE ROAD AND THE AIRWAVES AND HAMMER THE SHIT OUT OF;

-- Roe V Wade

-- Project 2025

-- the economy and the stock market

-- Trump's convictions

-- Trump's ongoing legal issues

 

Let's.  Fucking.  Go.  Do your job for once.

At least Democrats have something to be excited about now.

These. Make no mistake it's still a long shot. In the short term it likely damages Democrats standing in the EC because she won't poll as well with seniors and whites in the midwest as Biden. It's on Democrats to now win decisively among undecides and get young voters back in the fold. It's an uphill battle but at least there's a battle to fight. Biden was mortally wounded.

Lotta dumbfuck voters gonna vote for Trump because they dont/wont want a woman in the white house as prez

She's absolutely going to pay a proverbial tax as a black woman. She also opens doors that Biden clearly wasn't going to. You have to take the upside in this scenario.

Harris / Pete pls

CNN: A Democratic governor probably at the top of the list 

Mentioned Shapiro, Walz, Pritzker, Cooper, Beshear

No. Pete is impressive but need someone with executive governing experience and ties to a relatively important state. One of the governors is the play.

Sellers mentioning McRaven as a good veep. Still think it should be Shapiro 

His name rec is way overinflated on this site for obvious reasons.

It will be Harris it has to be Harris there is no better time to put a woman at the lead of the ticket than now.

the victory lap for Biden will be so much better than the drumbeat of age.

Harris will fuck trump’s shit up on the trail. Grab Shapiro and secure the blue wall and call it a day.

not sure about governing I’m worried about that - gravely. But it is what it is.

dems and Biden fucked up a lot of this from 3.5 years ago until yesterday, but today a good decision was made based on where it all stands.

let’s fucking go.

Governing will be fine if Harris wins. I imagine a lot of the rank and file Biden staff will remain in place. If there's a pick I trust her specifically to make it's a Merrick Garland replacement.

And it's less worrying than a Turmp admin.

We’ve already had a few major ones. Biden first, now the Clintons, there will be a drumbeat of endorsements. Dems may actually be doing this right.  

Yeah but I’m talking Clyburn, Nancy, Jeffries/Schumer, Barack/Michelle and the big contenders (Gretchen, Newsom, etc)

The left is not going to fuck this up either.  Bernie and AOC did right imo
