    Biden just pardoned a judge convicted of taking bribe money in exchange for sending children to “troubled kid” abuse camps. Tim Walz tweeted a condolence about the billionaire that was justifiably executed for his widespread torture of poor people. Kamala’s a cop.

    Democrats, you’ve radicalized me. Like there’s gonna BE a vote allowed for mouthy queer people in four years LOLOL

    If true, I say go for it. This is assuming the party also runs a fair primary and she has to make her case alongside more progressive candidates.

    They really are kinda stupid. They don’t get how unpalpable she can be. They are clearly not learning from their mistakes.

    America is too racist and misogynist for her to win even though she was a great candidate.

      She wasn’t a good candidate for anything but the gop. As a Republican, she’s the perfect middle ground between Trump and Reagan.

      She has no business running opposed to conservatives, though, and will never win in that role.

        Harris is politically between Reagan and Trump? Lol. What an idiotic take.

          The anti cannabis cop who spent her life specifically discriminating against nonviolent black men and advocating for keeping innocent black men imprisoned in order to ensure California has enough slaves for their corporate contracts?

          The same one that adopted a more draconian border policy than anything Trump or the Republicans ever offered?

          The same one that was VP to Joe “poor kids are as smart as white kids; I don’t want my kids to grow up in a racial jungle” Biden, the most right wing Democrat president since before the southern strategy, himself being the reason student loan debt isn’t dischargeable in bankruptcy?

          Yeah. Foreign policy including immigration makes her as bad as Trump. Domestic policy is the same trickle down that Obama and Biden pushed.

            That’s funny when Obama and Biden had no history of cutting taxes on the rich, which is the central pillar of trickle down economics.

            Obama actually hiked taxes on the wealthy as part of the ACA, in addition to letting Bush’s most egregious cuts expire instead of renewing them.

            Biden made no major changes to tax policy, though has been pushing to increase the corporate tax rate.

            Both Biden and Harris are also on record advocating for the implementation of an unrealized capital gains tax, which would be a huge step, though unlikely to be implemented without a large congressional majority. (which is unlikely)

    “She is ending this race in a very different place than other nominees that have lost,” one Harris adviser told the outlet. “Her approval is higher. People were very happy with the race that she ran.”

    Jesus fucking Christ. They’ve huffed their own farts too hard and gave themselves some kind of brain damage. Or they’re just greedy fucks that want to raise a billion dollars for exorbitant campaign expenses paid to their friends and acquaintances.

      They also think that running a campaign that lost is somehow a win? Are these campaign managers fascist double agents trying to poison the only viable opposition? Seems like it.

    Well, looks like I am finally leaving the Democrat party. I was only registered Democrat to vote in the primaries but they don’t seem to mean shit anymore and the party seems incapable of learning a lesson.

    It’s because it never mattered if she actually won or not, it was all about raking in those campaign donations. The Democratic Party could not care less about winning elections by votes, all they have to do is win by donation totals for them to see it as a victory. Since Harris broke the records on those they’re going to keep her around to see how much money the can wring out of her, and once that starts to dry up they’ll toss her out and start the process over again.

    I was expecting them to announce that they’re now “Blue Maga” and run the oldest, whitest old white man who isn’t Biden.

      Resurrection isn’t quite viable yet or they’d pull up Regan and run him as a “Democrat.” They’d do anything to avoid actually helping people over bankers so I guess they’re settling on “let Kamala lose again and we can blame “woke,” and the general population for being misogynistic. What’s 4 more years of deregulation? My bank account will be fine!”

      Good ol’ fashioned DNC scumbaggery
