Yeah....any doubt about that will be taken care of before this week is out, when the GQP mouthpieces come after her with all the racist dogwhistle shit (which they've already started).  Black people: "Entitled angry white people treating a woman of color like shit?  Yeah, that's 'the black experience' sure enough.  We're good."

I can't imagine telling an AKA or any member of the historically black greek groups they don't understand the experience. 

That's why they're so lost and need Erick to set 'em straight.

Leave it to Republicans to diminish her down to race/ethnicity. From where I’m sitting she is a pretty god damn good role model for my two girls. 

fuck yeah she is. I'm 48 and she's got me thinking what is possible? She's a dream for young girls and college aged women. I'm thrilled for girls and young women everywhere.

Yeah...sure....good for you.  But when are men like me going to finally get a chance?  And by "men like me," I mean "out-of-shape mexican coonasses with middling ambition?"  HUH?  HUH?  When are we going to finally "Make American Pinche Spicy Again?"

Erick is also personifying CRT. He has no idea of the impact of his words. He believes he respects Black people.

The whole lesson is that we white men, even well intentioned (he's not), can have horrific blind spots. They're not easy to identify and weed out if you're not even trying.

Below is a list of everything negative J.D. Vance has said about Donald Trump.  If I'm Kamala Harris, I'm having my team work up commercials that say things like "Donald Trump is unfit for office.  But don't take our word for it. Take the word of his running mate, J.D. Vance."   Or Donald Trump is America's Hitler. We didn't say that about him. His running mate did."  

This is seriously some easy, easy shit to use.  

Thanks for posting. I am going to use these.

This is kinda my whole point. Any Republican who bends the knee for Trump gets 0 respect from me. And those Republicans that haven't bent the knee for Trump get 0 respect from today's GQP. They've been cast out of the party like lepers.

There was a very brief moment after 1/6 where it looked like enough Republicans were disgusted by Trump's actions that they were finally going to throw him overboard. But then they saw how much the MAGAts didn't give a fuck about 1/6 and had to recalibrate and kick the gaslighting machine into overdrive. And now 1/6 holds a March-Across-a-Bridge-in-Selma type moment for mainstream Republicans. It's fucking disgusting.

I recognized your point and just took off, I thought, with what you describe. Respectable Republicans are a thing of the past. They are distinct from the deplorable things voting GOP now. The respectable Republicans make their temporary home with the Dems likely in hopes that somebody will represent values and policies for which there is no shame.

Georgia Secretary of State’s office COO

 

In 2020, Trump asked the former GA SOS for 12K votes and was refused. Now Trump is only asking for 1 less person on the ballot. WTF. Why can't these guys give Trump a simple favor. :)

Yeah, I think someone posted somewhere around here that 40 of Trump's 44 former cabinet members don't support his candidacy.

wow, 40 of 44? that is amazing number - had no idea and i consider myself fairly attuned to politics.

that should be repeated over and over and over. that is something the electorate could understand and digested.

you could tee it up.... - smart people -  smart Republicans -  who have worked as close with Donald Trump as anyone don't support him. They know. They know.

Having to type STOP to a few dozen texts and unsubscribing from some emails is worth doing your part to defeat fascism, I think.

I donated through Actblue and a phone number was not required to open an account or donate.  I used an alias email address that I can delete if the spam gets heavy and I'm too lazy to unsubscribe.  On top of this, I donated over my VPN.  I had to provide my home address so a resourceful person could probably find my phone numbers but whatever.  I'm anti-fascist and my time is limited.  How else am I going to fight the right wing loons?

Its not the phone calls or texts I am concerned about.  I have professional reasons why I am concerned about my name being on a publicly available list linked to any political cause or organization.   I want to donate but I want to do so anonymously.  I thought PACS were governed under different disclosure rules and was hoping someone knew more about this and a possible PACS closely aligned with Biden/Harris.

Men who don't have daughters or didn't grow up with sisters don't really understand this. I didn't until I had my daughters. It opened my eyes to a lot of things I never knew I didn't know.

Seriously.  Kamala decided to have her career, got married at 49 and became a stepmom to Doug's kids who call her Momala.  That is so opposite of the GOP's dream of your daughter being married at 16 or 17 and popping out 6 kids by the time she's 25.

If you're gonna cleanse our race, close our borders, you gotta have enough poors to do the shitty jobs. Isn't that the end game?

Ok so I went in Twitter and did some research on this “brat” thing and well I have no fucking idea still. Lime green is the color is all I got.

I think the general vibe is to own your imperfections, don't compromise, and party on. I'm nearing old guy territory, though.

I'm not shocked (or even surprised) at all.  Because the one great motivating issue for Democrats is beating Trump.  Even when you saw people disagreeing on this or other threads about whether Biden should drop out, the question was only ever about who is best positioned to beat Trump.  Nobody was arguing that we should rally around Biden because of some overriding loyalty to Biden; nobody was arguing to ditch Biden out of any animosity toward him.  It was only ever about whether he could beat Trump.

Now that the die is cast, it's very clear that Harris puts us in better position to beat Trump than would any kind of open convention with multiple candidates.  So that's how it's going to go.  And doesn't take any puppet-master to coordinate the Party coming together to support Harris; it's plainly apparent to anybody with the least little bit of political sensibility that that's what needs to happen.

While not the plan, Biden waiting as late as possible made other candidates less likely. It's similar to when a head coach resigns weeks before a season starts. An AD almost has no option but to promote an assistant.

this should be shown in contrast to when GOPers slammed Obama regarding fake news and McCain had the honor to tell them, to their face, that they were wrong about Obama. Even to the detriment to his own campaign. But Vance is definitely not a McCain.

In relation to McCain, Vance would have:

  1. Found a deferment or option to stay out of Vietnam, or
  2. Took the offer to leave the Hanoi prison camp early, and
  3. Told the VC everything he knew and made up crap about other POWs to get preferred treatment

Really? The generational line is so precise and telling about someone that you would judge by that criterion? 

That's so very shallow, my friend. I think age can be a criterion but only insofar as how it physically and mentally impacts a candidate. 

I think we do find common ground in wanting a change of guard which is happening judging by the Dem leader in Congress and emerging younger leaders in both parties. I have often advocated for not voting for white men where possible. 

I'm a boomer. I never think that I will be best understood or represented by someone my age or of my arbitrary generation. I'm older than Harris. To me, she's pretty crisp and vital.

What you have seen happen in the last 24 hours is the momentum that is possible when a political party actually listens to the will of the people.  Even those that aren't typically "their base."

Keep listening, Dems.
