Let’s hope not. He’s one of the Dem’s best weapons. In all seriousness, who would they replace him with? What talent does the GQP have ready to go from a swing state?

Talent is not a consideration. Loyalty to Trump is the sole criterion by which all candidates will be judged.

They've found out the plot.  (Why are they so obsessed with Michelle Obama?)

Kamala Harris is a boomer, technically. Born October 1964. 

Well, not technically. While various public opinion research outfits (like Pew) start GenX at 1965 because that’s *clearly* a Gen X cohort and you’re not catching baby boomers at the left tail, most demographers and the social security administration use 1961 because that’s when the birth rate started dropping, thus the baby boom was over. Sociologists are often in the middle, saying that Gen X begins with the vibe shift that followed the Kennedy Assassination. 
For these reasons, it’s pretty accurate to call Kamala Harris a Gen Xer because culturally, she is.

And the Obamas would've gotten away with it if not for that meddling Vivek. 

That chyron.  "Obama greets mail carrier; doesn't endorse Kamala."  "Obama waves to media from afar; doesn't endorse Kamala."

Not that I would ever vote for her, but this is what the gop ought to be leading with. She would be a formidable candidate against any democrat. Instead Dotard has taken over the party and the whacko nutjobs are in control.

She’s a clown and wouldn’t be a formidable candidate at all. She’s doesn’t have any actual policy ideas other than what the heritage foundation wants.

At least she's not guzzling the Trump kool-aid bleach like the rest of MAGA, and openly admits that the party that nominates someone other than the old fading white guy is getting an edge.  She goes on to say why Kamala would be a terrible president, which is no different than any other Republican, whether MAGA or pre-MAGA.  But she understands that attacking or even commenting on her gender or race is a bad move.  Too bad (or good) that her party won't listen to her.

My kid turns 18 a week before election day.  Yesterday she sent me a calendar appointment to register her to vote 60 days before her birthday.  

I think what's happened is fascinating and id love to find a study or conduct one. 

My hypothesis is that the American people got tired of the cookie cutter Nikki Haley types who are just empty shells assigned to a party who have no personal ideology or platform and are just doing what they do for power and noteriety. 

They want to believe that people are fully invested in what they want to accomplish which leads to extremist views and conviction with the speaking. The problem is it's hard to take extremist views seriously right now when it involves reversing clear progress that's been made vs progress that we still want to make. 

I don't think the Democratic platform is one filled with extremism, but there are some aspects that are "too progressive" for some. It's just easier for someone like Kamala to come in the scene and seem like she genuinely gives a shit.

Also Tapper was so bad in that interview. Just sat there and let her spew bullshit.

The representative of California's 54th district is a fun follow.

Spoiler

It's a parody - there is no 54th district in California.

I don't know what the fuck is up with Tapper.  When in studio he's shown the ability to call bullshit on MAGA, but when he's in an in-person interview, or during the June presidential debate, he turns into a giant pussy who's happy to give a platform for bullshit fucking lies without saying a peep.

This is the main problem in Texas. The data below show the actual number of votes that were cast in 2020 in comparison to each state's 18+ age (voter-aged) population, according to the 2020 Census.

Less than half of our "adults" voted. As Js1 has stated repeatedly, we don't vote at nearly the same rate as other states. Why is that?

Years and years of gerrymandering and voter suppression have led to a whole swath of folks being too discouraged to vote. I can't tell you how many times I've heard (and even thought myself): "It doesn't matter how I vote -- I live in Texas."

image.png.93344ae4e0c88ac94fb361c81abd6e80.png

Edited to add North Carolina and Wisconsin. Yes, they were gerrymandered, but they haven't been trained over decades to acquire the same sense of learned helplessness. This is what 30 years of one-party rule does to the public.

Yes the poor performance of the TX Democrat party has made all of us, including Republicans, understand that our votes don’t matter for statewide elections. I normally vote Democrat and I seriously do not know who runs the state party and whether there even is a statewide party. It wouldn’t surprise me if the same person(s) have been in charge of it for 20 years. Earning a nice paycheck while consistently failing.

I’m not there yet but do think CNN leadership lets them editorialize, but not push back/fact check interviews for fear of Republicans not coming on the network. Because Collins was just awful on Sunday letting the Republican she had claim Biden was dead

My problem with Nikki Haley (and my response, if I was prepping an opponent in a senate debate would be) that she thinks this is a normal election where the stakes are about policy. They aren’t. This election is about whether to allow a convicted felon and rapist who led an attack on the capital to be president again. She knows what he is and has called him out, and then endorsed him anyway. It’s shocking and shameful and she should be ashamed.

Tapper isn’t a real journalist. Barack out front shoulda told ya.

We need a new thread title now that it's clear who the 2 candidate are. I was going to wait until after the DNC, but if the Obama's are in that means it's happening. 

We’re Not Going Back

Also we should probably open about nine new threads on the election.

It can't be only one party specific. The we may be fucked thing works for both candidates. The current thread title is neutral as well.

Fuck her. She lost any and all credibility the second she endorsed Trump.
