Donald Trump's numbers barely changed from 2020 to 2024. He won because Democrat numbers collapsed. So their answer is to give their own voters even less to be excited about?

The meta verse was kinda fun to talk about, though. Because it was a train wreck.

Pretty sure this is satire.

We could have had funniest moment of the year if authorities seized his Mercedes while he was voting.

The guy who said it probably doesn't grammar all that well anyway.

Maybe. I'd prefer we give her a year or two to see how progressive she's going to be. We're forced to work within the Democrat party for now, and if we're seen as a bunch of malcontents, centrist Democrats will see that as an excuse to reach out to more "gettable" moderates and conservatives instead

Biden calling Trump voters garbage was a gaffe. His own office walked it back. It's way easier to depart from the president on a throwaway line than on a year-long policy that an all-too-large and ignorant chunk of the population still supports.

I'm not satisfied with her public position on Gaza so far, either. But, since the notion that Trump will make anything better is ridiculous, the only plausible course is to get her in office and then pressure the shit out of her.

And in case anyone's thinking it, the idea that Jill Stein successfully spoiling into a Trump victory somehow means he'll take her foreign policy advice is magical thinking.

I agree. I'm just hoping they've made the calculation that remaining ambiguous on Gaza is a better electoral strategy, and once in office she doesn't intend to spit in the faces of her base the way Biden has.

It's her or Trump, and there's zero chance Trump will make things better, so anyone who cares about Gaza and has a realistic outlook on the situation should support Harris.

Can't remember at the moment what it's called, but there's a law making it illegal for the US to support war crimes. If the president ceased aid to Israel on those grounds, congress would have to be unusually united to override it. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it'd be a difficult fight to pick when Israel is being so brazenly genocidal.
