Wonder how many Marines (or whoever gets called in) would think Kamala stole the election

Maybe some. But if you give a Marine a chance to shoot an insurrectionist . . . .

I bet more than you think would think your insurrectionist is their freedom fighter. Because there’s no way that whore could win without cheating.

That’s the rot we’re dealing with imo

Speaking of electricity

The base was fine with this (yes, I know it's fake, they didn't at the time):

But this is an issue?  If only I could put my finger on what the difference is between the two images.  It's a puzzle for sure.

I can't even identify their problem with it. Could be a better length, a little shorter. Is it a bare shoulder?

These attacks are so silly and obviously racist that I wonder if their voters are suddenly experiencing the malaise we were. With this shit, they make themselves more laughable as the pro-republic movement has learned to attack.

Ostensibly, but in reality it's the intersection of sexy, brown, and middle age.  Their minds can't handle it.

ABC/Ipsos fav/unfav numbers 

Harris 43/42 (35/46 last week) -11 to +1 

Trump 36/52 (40/51 last week) -11 to -16 

Vance 24/39 (25/31 last week) -6 to -15 

Plotting The Simpsons GIF

It was a good rollout week for Kamala with those numbers 

I mean if that has any kind of staying power and Harris can maintain something close to net neutral, the election is over. That's a pretty remarkable swing coming on the scene.

Jesus, Pete destroyed that lady.  It's so nice to see smart, coherent Dems on the attack -- Kamala, Pete, Tim Walz, you name it.  They are informed, they are prepared, and they keep their cool.

The old guard just fucking sucked. Effective legislators and executives, yes - Pelosi, Biden, etc. But this newer generation is just willing and ready to attack

Feels like the Biden team really mismanaged her. She should have been out there and much more visible the last couple years.

I disagree.  They have played it perfectly.  Hiding her allowed her this moment to come out and leave people pleasantly surprised; there would be nowhere near this amount of excitement/momentum if she’d been out front the last 4 years.  It also prevented her from saying/doing something that could have taken this opportunity away from her.

If that’s true it was by design but just dumb luck.

Tying this back into my post last night; wonder if Joe just didn't want to play these kinds of games, or others within the campaign organization?  Because the energy has shifted.

1000x this. I have a conservative non Trumper friend who has always said this. He said he could’ve more easily convinced more of his skeptical conservative friends to get off the crazy train if she’d been out front more.

The other side of this is the gop would have run their quite effective misogyny machine on her like they did Hillary, AOC, etc. if she’s been more visible.

In any case I’m happy where we are now.

2020 was a very weird year.

Pete is so damn good at this. He beats Fox News at their own game. He makes them have to defend Trump's positions and record. It is so masterful.

He's total POTUS material once (if) we can get the electorate comfortable with a gay man in that office.  I'm not holding my breath, but hey, Obama got elected twice, so you never know.

It won't be Shapiro. He'd alienate the base. Kelly would be problematic. I like Walz a lot from what little I've seen, and Buttigieg. Hopefully Walz doesn't have any strong negatives we don't yet know about. Buttigieg is a resident of PA now fwiw, from what I've read. Ditched Indiana.

They did, 4 years ago. She wasn’t very popular iirc, and that’s why they kept her in pocket. Shit, they are trying to hammer her on border czar shit as it is.

My ideal situation for Pete is to get nominated to a bigger tier cabinet position in a Harris admin (SOS maybe?) and then transition to running for MI Gov in 2028. Or maybe he sits out for a bit and runs for MI SEN if Peters retires in 2026

Either of those could springboard him in a presidential primary in 2032

“The thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes like a dolls eyes.  When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin…until he bits ya, then those black eyes rollll over white”

I’ll run with a Quint quote as a parallel to the sudden surge of all this younger talent in the Dems sphere suddenly coming for the GOP

Pete lives in Michigan. 

My VP rankings:

1. Walz

 

 

2. Buttigieg

3. Beshear 

 

 

4. Kelly

5. Cooper

 

6. Shapiro

As far as the electorate being comfortable with a gay candidate as either part of a presidential ticket- my initial thought is that more people would be comfortable with it if they were a single person that has come out as gay, but do not have a partner with which to hold hands or smooch on tv.  Does Pete have a partner?  It’s obviously completely unfair to ask that of a gay person running for high office, but is that the sacrifice the first openly gay president will have to make?  Or do we hope we (National electorate) can become better than that?

I am 90% sure Pete's been married a long time

The problem to overcome is those that think cost of groceries = economy. And that trump will lower the cost of goods and services to when he was in office.  But not have the stock market or pay rate also reset. As if those costs ever go that direction.  I liked Clinton era costs, why not vote for Hillary?  
 

eta and those that believe whatever Trump and fnc say. Crime wave!  Border crisis!  But those people won’t be corrected or educated, they are what they are.

Nobody in recent history has ever thought prices or crime were too low. It's something people find to bitch about when there aren't any real problems.

Certain pols not too long ago have been bitching about the price of crude oil being too low.  Can’t imagine why.

Unless youre a donor to Republicans and your profits aren't high enough. War on drugs exists in part to fund and fuel the private prison industry industrial complex
