After Trump vowed that he would debate the Democratic incumbent "ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE," Trump backed out of that promise when faced with Harris

      She should start by saying how her opponent missed the debate because he was golfing, which is what he’ll do again if he’s elected, golf all the time!

      She should debate a puppet sitting on a chair, and express her disappointment that Putin couldn’t be there to reach up its ass and work its mouth.

        Reminds me of when the BBC show Have I Got News For You replaced Roy Hattersley with a tub of lard after he failed to show up. Good times.

    Run hard on calling him a chickenshit loser and demand a pre and post drug test for the debate.

    I mean… They’re not wrong. Why the hell would he go get curb stomped now instead of waiting until she’s technically gotten the nomination?

    It’d be fun to watch the beatdown, but I doubt it’ll ever happen.

    Thank you Democratic campaign, and media for finally starting to call out the Trump campaign when they make 2 conflicting statements in the same month. Trump’s popularity comes from people selectively hearing what they want to hear.

    He’s going for the Parker Brothers defense, if you can’t win the debate become a petulant child and flip the board over.

    Good. Call him a coward. Making him feel small is the only way to get him out.

    Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence is just scared. He’s too old and needs to drop out. He knows that she will absolutely eviscerate him in a debate.

    Trump is the kid that throws the controller when he realizes that the final boss has two health bars.

    I will confess that a month ago I said replacing Biden with Kamala would be a mistake. I was so wrong. She is absolutely killing it. She is bringing exactly the right energy and tone this campaign needs to take on Trump. She is not taking any of his shit but doing it with so much class it really does highlight how disgusting Trump and his goons are.

      I was in the same boat. Basically the second they announced it a wave of relief washed over me and I realized this is what we need

        I’m honestly not a big fan of her and would have preferred to see someone more progressive get the nomination, but I honestly had the same feeling as you now that we actually have a chance at defeating Trump.

          If you want progressive candidates you gotta do community organization and outreach. Personally I’d much rather do praxis under Harris than Trump.

              Doesn’t matter when the DNC leadership puts their thumbs on the scale to prevent them from gaining any traction by doing things like excluding them from debates, giving funding to one candidate over another, or feeding stories favorable to their candidate to the media.

              What we need is ranked choice voting so that we can kick both the DNC and RNC to the curb and form parties that aren’t run by protectionist, out of touch millionaires/billionaires.

                Can’t get ranked choice with the current parties and third parties aren’t creeping up in the polls to displace them. It’s why Bernie ran in the Democratic primary. And we have more elected progressive Democrats now than we did because of it. It’s a long game and it needs to grow from the bottom up to get electoral reform.

        I also have felt unburdened by what has been, as if a spell was cast on me. I had no doubt though that replacing Joe Biden with literally anyone, including his son or dog, would increase democrats chance of winning. I think in my case it was more of letting go of pent up anger towards the rotting carcass of the current president and all those who campaigned for his reelection. Including the lovely folk of lemmy, for whom I still might hold some animosity. To those that rode hard for Biden, a sincere fuck you.

        I was pretty distraught after the announcement, but within a few hours as the wave of support built, I came out of the hole and started feeling positive. So glad that the support fell behind so quickly.

          It’s almost like when you do what the electorate is asking, you earn their support! I sure hope the Dems finally learn that this time

      I am relieved the conversation has broken free from simply voting against Trump to having a choice people might actually like. Proof is going to be in the pudding, but I’m cautiously optimistic.

      I wasn’t sure she was the answer, but the debate was so appalling, I felt something had to change. I find her far more compelling than I thought I would.

      “I’m Kamala Harris, and I approve this message.”

      That sits right next to “i don’t need a ride, i need ammo” on my badass quotes shelf.
