- Trump and his supporters are slamming Joe Biden for quitting the race and endorsing Kamala Harris.
- Some members of MAGA world are bemoaning the millions of dollars spent running against Joe Biden.
- Biden’s withdrawal also means Trump is now the oldest candidate in the presidential race.
I’m in some chats with right wingers. At first they were happy. Which was actually nice for once and we stopped talking about politics every .002 seconds. Then they went down this batshit, bizarre conspiracy hole about Biden not really withdrawing because it wasn’t announced on whitehouse.gov. They’re just making fun of Kamala now. Jimmies are definitely russled.
I don’t know, I went to r/conservative and they seem quite pleased. From my observations, both dems and reps seem happy with what just happened. I saw no one scared or upset and I spent about 30 minutes reading comments.
It was actually kinda trippy how universally pleased everyone is.
They don’t seem pleased to me. They just seem like now they’re full throated into their fact free attacks on Harris, having pivoted effortlessly to those instead of the fact free attacks on Biden.
Top stories currently on the page:
- Within the first year of taking office, 4 of Kamala Harris’ top aides quit, branding her a ‘bully inflicting ‘constant, soul-destroying criticism’.
- Joe Biden is too frail to run in 2024 but he’s still our president?
- Kamala Harris Will Be Burdened By What Has Been
- Piggyback off what Tulsi said 8 years
- Biden’s statement withdrawing from the 2024 election

- That Was Quick - Hours after Biden drops out of presidential race, Kamala Harris drops merch line
Honestly dude it just looks exhausting. I can see why they are so angry and chaotic whenever you try to talk to them IRL.

Because they lack any kind of critical thought? If how they act and speak in real life is based on what they read on Reddit (or Lemmy), then they need to have their heads examined, and they need to go back to school.
It takes nothing to launch a merch line. Just keep a graphic artist on call, then drop ship. They had weeks to prepare for the possibility.
r/conservative always gets a glimpse of normalcy when the bots have to get fed with new arguments.
That’s just the bots.
Of course they are mad. The Republican strategy up until this point has been to attack the incumbent, but now the incumbent is no longer running for re-election. Trump literally doesn’t know how to deal with this situation. His whole shtick is to attack the person currently in charge, but that doesn’t do shit for him now.
A big part of why he lost in 2020, imo, is that he didn’t have anybody to blame for all the bad shit happening in the country at the time. He himself was in charge and could only say “things will get worse under Biden”, but people were sick of Covid fucking up our lives and the endless scandals that hit the news daily.
the Republican Party had "spent tens of millions of dollars running against Joe Biden
Damn, if only they had spent that tens of millions of dollars campaigning for somebody, then this wouldn’t have even mattered.
Or even attack the policies. The problem for the Trump Party is that they are a cult of personality and don’t understand what policy really means.
they’re gonna have to re-edit some of their attack ads ready to go and just add “and SHE was there, vice presidenting all of it” at the end.
He’s gonna tie every biden policy to Hillary Clinton and attack her based on that.
Then hopefully someone will remind him that he’s running against Kamala Harris and not Clinton.
More likely they will just make up a connection with Hillary and Kamala. Like they are in the same coven and drink adrenochrome together.
Why did my keyboard know autocorrect the spelling of that word?
what the hell… I’ve never heard of this before
Wild huh? Hunter Thompson wrote about it once, and then it was in the movie version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Got warped around to what it is now.
There is a large chunk of the US population that believes this shit or things adjacent to it. 30% or so, I think. I’ve lost many people to it.
Check out Qanon Qausilties on Reddit. It’s a cult, that’s a mental illness, that’s a political movement. Useful for the fascists. Very dangerous. Very sad.
It’s a real substance the body makes, but it can also be synthesized. As such, people have taken it to try it out. Iirc it isn’t even a fun high, so they started making up that children make “better” versions or something.
It’s just blood libel with the label scrapped off. Until you dig deeper into right wing conspiracies, then it’s just regular blood libel.
It is a conspiracy for one side to strategically do a better job and be better.
Oh did your sure thing evaporate now that you’re not running against a dementia patient?
Calling it now.
They’ll say it’s a conspiracy and Biden is running things behind the scenes as head of the deep state, Kampala is just a puppet
He’s gonna be the forever bogeyman.
Why would you come with a campaign tweaked against a specific opponent and not with a program that is the best for the majority of the citizen? Politics is really stupid especially in 2024!
This feels like postering to me. Trump was recorded while playing golf with Barron that “Biden’s out. It’s gonna be Kamala”. He’s already been considering this for at least a week or more.
Trump isn’t upset about going up against Kamala and he’s already been saying that he will stomp her, which I am so fearful he will that it makes me tear up.
He’s already been considering this for at least a week or more.
He and his team have considered it, but I doubt Trump is capable of preparing for it. His team will try, but – like Biden – he is an old man past his prime. Voters do not want Project 2025, so Trump’s team CAN’T talk about it with anything but denial, and that is the only ‘plan’ they have. The rest is a few insults that Trump repeat over and over, to which Harris can say, “I’ll take the insults if it keeps necessary abortions legal. I’ll take it to keep schools open. To improve them. To make sure [insert message here] is expanded, not abolished.”
I guess if only they spent more endorsing their own agenda instead of smearing it wouldnt matter right? 🤷♂️
This is starting to look like an effective strategy for the Democrats to drain Republican funds: don’t announce your actual candidate until August.
So, what you’re telling me is that by finally conceding to giving up on reelection, Biden achieved one hell of a victory against the whiny orange?
🥂
Here’s to hoping you 'muricans don’t fuck this chance.
Be nice if the LPC took some notes from this one.
Who cares. Report on democratic candidates, strengths, weaknesses, policies, etc. I’m so fucking sick of the “news”
Awww! Well Boo Fucking Hoo for you.
You guys realize that Biden waited until after the RNC to announce this right? He’s making this as hard as possible for them to pivot. You had hundreds of people in the same city, building strategies for their campaign. He had made sure that Kamala would have the delegates secured to ensure there would be no in-fighting for the next candidate. They did little to stop the media in going down the rabbit hole of the all-consuming news that he should drop out. They used it for their advantage to create a positive whirl wind around Kamala. Truly brilliant.
I’m saddened for them since they’ll never know what it’s like to lose to Biden twice.
But now he’ll get the chance to lose to a woman of color
Except they were on track to win against Biden. Now trump gets to lose against a black woman.
Sure they were, dear.
I personally had serious concerns. Since every trump voter will vote for him even if he slaps their grandma, they either had to win over rational people or make them apathetic to vote. Given their candidate, they took the second option. Now every argument they fixed in their base’s heads apply to their candidate. This, and the moves in France to defeat the right wing, are quiet acts of personal sacrifice for the greater good.
He certainly didn’t step aside because of how great he was doing now did he dear?
