    It’s really funny that

    a) A line where she tells anti-genocide protesters to shut up is being celebrated as a #girlboss moment

    b) Dems suck so much at campaigning they still gotta use the 2008 Obama Hope poster

      Not going to comment on a), but b) kind of makes sense to me. Her campaign feels very much like Obama’s. You have a candidate who is energetic, likeable, and generally seems like a decent person. You have someone who people want to vote for instead of just voting against the other guy. It makes sense they would try to draw parallels.

        I have voted democrat since 2000. I really don’t feel that’s someone we “want” to vote for. That’s who we have. We didn’t get any other choice. She is ok but I really wish Walz was running for president instead.

      Yeah, it was a badass line, but not in context. I don’t blame her, a speaker has to read the room and control the crowd, but it doesn’t belong on a t-shirt.

      As to b), I’ve bemoaned the Democrats for years and years, but you gotta admit, the Harris campaign is hitting on all 8 cylinders, finally showing the balls I’ve screamed at them to grow.
