I love how Harris is starting out with every advantage a candidate could possibly have and systematically blowing it.
Trump too tbh. This election feels like both candidates are doing their damnedest to throw it for the other one because neither actually wants to be president right now lol.
Is she? These seem less like flubs than attempts to flank Trump from the right, like with her “I love fracking SOFUCKINGMUCH” but at the debate. Libs are gonna vote for her no matter what and leftists are demographically a non-factor so why wouldn’t she?
The true believer democrats that vote will vote for her, yes, but she needs a way to increase democrat voter turnout to actually win. She might have less charisma than Clinton, and I'm not confident that "Not Trump" is going to be enough now that Trump has been out of office for 4 years.
We'll find out soon enough, but I'm doubtful that this inauthentic pandering campaigning she's doing is going to energize enough voters to win. Thanks to boomers and voter suppression and the electoral college every race is kind of the republicans' to lose by default, so they can get away with a lot more stupid shit.
The goal of the Democratic Party is to become the Republican Party, not to win elections.
Let’s put it this way: the goal is to capture Republican donors, not to capture Republican voters. Two separate things.
Oh don't get me wrong I'm not trying to say that they're actively trying to win voters and elections and that this is their best effort at that. I just don't think this little show is going to be enough to win an election this time -- accidentally or otherwise -- in spite of how bad Trump seems to be doing from the outside.
you entirely misread their comment lol
I'm not even sure if they read it. I think their comment was just a reflex or something lmao
Kamala Harris is committing genocide.
Which one is going to stop killing innocent people?
Even if Trump wanted to be a dictator, it's not like the military would let him lol
