It wasn't all of a sudden.  The bench has been there for years.  It's why the whole argument that only Biden could beat Trump was simply wrong.  There are any number of them that can.

Mark it down.

So here's the thing about astronauts--kinda nobody idolizes astronauts anymore.  At least not like we did in the Mercury and Apollo days.

Except in Florida.  

Astronaut-worship is still a thing in Florida--particularly in that triangle between Orlando, Daytona Beach, and Vero Beach (Dodgertown!).  And I don't know how many votes that gets you.  Maybe none.  But I do think it means that there is a penalty in Florida for going hard after Kelly in a way that there wouldn't be for going hard against, for example, Andy Basheer.

Except for a lot of casual voters will remember that they remember him and his brother from years ago.   Same with his wife.  They'll be like "Yeah, I vaguely remember them.  That was a good story."

There was a hint of what was coming for the Dems in the last election primary debates. I'm not a political junkie, so I liked being introduced to Corey Booker and others. The old guard still had their gnarly hands on the controls, but if we hadn't had Biden, I doubt we win. I was all for Warren.

Now there's an explosion of dynamic Dems who have abandoned the tired old oratory. They just speak clearly, articulately, and, most importantly, with pointed intent. They seem to see the world as it is rather than holding on to the old paradigm that basically we're all the same.

Maybe they'll pull journalists with them as they ask the right questions. Maybe if Harris gets elected, another wave of crotchety old GOPs will die and see how their brand of "Christianity" fits into whatever afterlife may exist. They'd be better off believing as I do that when the light goes out, that's it. The whole Heaven-Hell thing may not work out the way they hope.

Like so many, I'm pumped again. There's a chance. Thank you, Joe Biden.

According to familysearch, Kamala actually has early American ancestors…going back to 1630’s Massachusetts.  You see what happened was one of the descendants had a kid with that no good white trash Irish slaver Hamilton Brown and they never left Jamaica. 

It's not really all that rare to have ancestors from the Mayflower...  Something like 35m people. So 1/10 Americans

Back to the fact that as soon as Kamala was named as the likely nominee, the GQP IMMEDIATELY went to the racist and misogynist playbook: "DEI," speaking to a "colored" sorority, she's a ho/blowjobs/slept her way to the top, all of that shit.

That's because 1) the GQP genuinely didn't have a plan developed for the eventuality of Biden withdrawing and Kamala stepping up (a huge failing in strategic thinking, by the way - that failure alone is disqualifying; why on EARTH would you put a bunch of idiots in charge who hadn't even war-gamed the very war they had spent months begging for?), and 2) when it doesn't have a plan/somebody calling strategic thoughts, the "GQP dead-man switch" is activated.  The GQP just executes its default program.  Which is lazy fucking racism and misogyny.  Not even creative racism and misogyny.

And a side note on that....what exactly does that get the GQP?  They've already GOT the racist and misogynist vote locked up.  No new voters are gonna say "wait a minute, Kamala IS a darkie!  I'm gonna vote for Trump!"  All of those people were already voting for Trump.  Every.  Single.  One of them.  They also aren't going to be particularly inspired to turn out at a higher rate.  Racism is one of their foundational motivations and worldviews, it's not like they just discovered it and wanna go out and celebrate the new thing. 

But do you wanna know who IS inspired by racism?  Young voters.  On the other side.  There's a not insubstantial number of 18-30 yr old people who were maybe disgusted by politics in general, weren't motivated to vote for either old white guy who doesn't give a shit about them....but now that one party has come out and is calling half (or more) of their friend group inferior, they're fucking pissed.  This is just a hypothesis, I'm basing it on the young folks I know (largely my kids and their friends), but they get fucking PISSED at assholish racism and sexism.  Like, voices raised, all that shit.  So the GQP plan of "let's just be obvious racist pieces of shit" 1) doesn't get them any new voters, 2) doesn't really fire up their base any more than they already were fired up, and 3) DOES fire up the youth vote on the other side (to say nothing of minorities themselves....if you want the black vote to go 95% to Kamala, and at record turnout percentages, this is how you do it).

So, keep being you, GQP.  Please.  Drink some gatorade, take some vitamins, and re-double your efforts to be giant racist pieces of shit.

I hope they realize that shit like this makes it much more likely for the Dems to think they need someone like Shapiro on the ticket.

And if the end result is that the Muslims in Michigan get Trump elected, then I hope they enjoy being deported to Palestine.  I mean, for the few minutes they'll have to enjoy it before Israel fucking levels the place.

Can there be a more insecure notion than that of a man card? 

I often hold my beloved's purse when it's heavy to give her a break. I've even, gasp!, stood by myself with it in a public place. I've been big and more formidable looking than I likely am for most of my life, so it likely prevented any needle-dick saying anything about my man card. I was ready to drawl, "why don't you just sashay over here and collect yourself?"

I imagine Aggies wearing this notion out all the time. Strange for such men of manly manfulness.

I just don't know how to read it.

It doesn't matter how Gay Pete plays with the MAGA crowd.  They were never gonna vote for him, and I don't see his presence at feeding their already-fired-up hate enough to boost their turnout.  If there are 75 million MAGA voters out there today, there are 75 million tomorrow after Pete is named the VP pick.

What matters is how he plays with 1) the 5-10% of voters who are genuinely "gettable," and 2) what he does to turnout of the enthusiastic Dem voter groups.  For example, there's a thought that a gay VP candidate will not be well-received by black voters (esp black males).  BUT....the top of the ticket is a black woman, and black female support for her is intense as hell, and black men damned well know it.  So....will they disregard their discomfort with the gayz, and go with "I'm all in on Kamala no matter who her VP is?"  I dunno.  And how will Pete play with the 5-10% of gettable voters?  I see his 33% approval in that poll, but what's his disapproval among independents?  I dunno.

Pete will get his day. This election is too important to test how far we have truly come with how “the middle” perceives gay people. The fact that the republicans still hammer it tells me it’s still a big problem for lots of people.

Also, the # thing that my "man card" does NOT depend on is the opinion of a born-again-virgin on Twitter with the pathetic handle of "Eagleman."  Seriously, if I were to rank every single thing in the world that has any bearing on my manliness, the opinion of choads like him would be at the bottom of the list.

Scratch that, they'd actually be higher up on the list, because the disapproval of incel losers tells me I'm on the right track: I'm a man of independent thought and confidence who doesn't give a fuck what losers who masturbate to an orange blob think.  That goes in the "yeah, I'm a man" column.

There will be riots in Chicago regardless.  But these are going to be the images they try and pin to Kamala, and they do NOT play well with the America that lives mostly offline.

35m seems kinda low actually.  Richard Warren alone accounts for something like 10 million descendants.

In an interview Wednesday on “Politically Georgia,” former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan said he would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump.

In May, Duncan, a lifelong Republican, endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, and as the president stepped aside to endorse Harris, Duncan continues to back the Democratic Party in hopes of getting the GOP “back on track” away from Trump’s MAGA base.

Georgia Repubs still sore that a rank amateur like Trump tried to butt into their vote-cookin kitchen.

Does someone want to explain to me how burning a US flag here in America helps these protesters with their cause?  I mean protest all you want but doing that just pisses off way too many Americans who I believe they want on their side.  Not equating the Palestinian struggles with Civil Rights but I think if MLK decided let's burn American Flags at our protests it may have alienated many people that were supporting Civil Rights.

There's also been a shit ton of graffiti on public statues.  Like that's not helping your cause.

Israelis and Palestinians could both teach a masterclass on how to alienate people who would gladly support them.  It's the one thing those jackasses have in common.

Here’s the deal.  Trump turns off more voters than he turns on.  Some of the ones he turns on, they are in it for the bigotry.  They want blacks to get to the back of the bus, women to get back to the kitchen and gays to go back in the closet.

Middle of the road voters who could go either way do NOT support those bigoted views.  They just aren’t tuned in/informed enough to recognize that project 2025 is aiming to do just that.  The Republican Party has been commandeered by its darkest fringe, and you can see how that fringe are revealing themselves in response to having to deal with a black and female opponent who is young, an excellent communicator and unafraid of their hate.  Just by being her genuine self, she disproves all of the racist and sexist stereotypes that many Republicans are reacting to.

Put Pete on the ticket, he’s even better at disproving homophobic stereotypes just by being who he naturally is.  Make them deal with having a black female Presidential candidate AND a gay vice Presidential candidate.  The racist, sexist and homophobic jeering from the right will drive normal middle of the road voters straight to the Dems.
