I'm so fucking stoked now that we can shit on Republicans for having an old candidate. We should reeeallly lean on this. Come up with slogans:

Diaper Donald the Geriatric Cheeto Pedo

And post it on billboards all over purple counties

You can look at all my comments today to see my enthusiasm. I wish more folks were feeling hopeful. I told my partner I was stoked and she was so confused as to why this shouldn't be perceived as a full scale collapse.

I didn't like Kamala in the past. I didn't like Biden either. Politically speaking, they both align closely with one another and are also aligned quite close to my political leanings, ideally speaking. I didn't like the baggage Kamala brought with her and I didn't like how boring ole Biden was. Turns out boring won, and I've truly valued the work he's done since 2020.

I've also come around on Kamala since then, especially after reading her book, and listening to some of her speeches more recently. I don't think she's the same person she was 20+ years ago. Who among us would say that about ourselves? I think she's evolved away from the drug criminalization prosecutor era, and she's clearly gotten a lot stronger since 2020 as both a public speaker and debater.

If her and Trump actually do have a debate (I doubt it) I fully expect her to completely embarrass him. She's much younger, much sharper, and has all of the right tools through her career to completely pants him as the old withering corpse that he has become even since 2016. Bonus points if she drops a "lock him up!" because, well, she actually could.

Yes, I am actually looking forward to voting for Harris. I would even more so if she taps Mark Kelly as her VP. That would be a dream.

I would love to see Trump speechless

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Is that something that can actually happen?

[-] BearGun@ttrpg.network 4 points 5 months ago

doubt it, he'd just start blabbing about the "biden crime family", before veering off to a completely different subject in the middle of a sentence.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 9 points 5 months ago

This is the right attitude. Not in terms of political strategy, but in a practical sense. The point about how none of us are who were 20 years ago is huge. I appreciate all Joe's done and his huge patriotic sacrifice...

But now I'm actually hopeful! I'm enthusiastic! I'm energized! Join me in volunteering and donating, and make sure everyone you know votes. Donald Trump and his 2025 architects don't have a chance if we're all united!!!

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

It has do be done in the right way.

I suggest we find all the republican ones and write over the top in clear sharpie. Clearly still republican signs.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

They don't care. If the hypocrisy of saying that while running a 78 year old candidate is lost on you, consider that every word out of their mouth is projection, and they'll probably start saying stuff like Kamala doesn't have the experience to lead or that being half Indian makes her beholden to foreign powers or some shit, despite mango bastard being the most unfit to lead president in history and his various business and familial ties to foreign power.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Hey, don't insult mangos like that. Mangos are dope.

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

They do care. It's why they swap narratives. It's a mechanism on a cultural level derived by the negligence of Trump himself, that being his inability to take responsibility. Something the GOP has always done, turned up to 11. You don't fight this with facts, you fight it by targeting emotion.

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 months ago

At least he was already wearing a diaper when that teen shot at him, he definitely shit his pants.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 5 months ago

Taco flavored keeses for my Kamila

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 68 points 5 months ago

This isn’t the weirdest thing that could happen.

[-] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 41 points 5 months ago

What would be really crazy is if she then died while in office.

[-] xantoxis@lemmy.world 26 points 5 months ago

Trump cancels his presidential campaign, comes on board as Harris' VP nom

[-] andrewth09@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The way the founding fathers intended

"Originally, each elector cast two votes for president; at least one of the individuals voted for had to be from a state different from the elector's. The individual with the majority of votes became president, and the runner-up became vice president."

It would still be really fucking stupid.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Wouldn’t that be a nice rule to have for world events.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

It's up there though

[-] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 37 points 5 months ago

I guffawed. This was excellent.

[-] muzzle@lemm.ee 33 points 5 months ago

I'd try to avoid the Putin/Medvedev president -vice switch vibes...

[-] jaxxed@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

This. Getting Biden in as a VP would threaten the legitimacy of the democracy, which was already in jeopardy by the DNC shoving the candidate through very weak primaries.

Any reason to keep wearing my dark brandon teeshirt.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 31 points 5 months ago

The VP isn't that unimportant. If you can't do the job as President, you shouldn't be VP either.

[-] suction@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

Right that’s why Trump took another fascist so he can be sure next time he’ll do his bidding by not certifying the election.

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 months ago

I've heard good things about this Brandon guy

[-] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 months ago

Can you imagine 🤯

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 5 months ago

this would be such a fucking shitpost, and honestly, i think i would support it because its fucking hilarious.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

Would that make him the longest serving vice president or has someone done more?

This is what I thought would happen if he stepped down. We'll see.
