Meanwhile Trump hasn’t announced a VP and the election is four months away.

Why would he? Once he does, the media's focus goes to that person and away from the President's self-imposed curfew.

Given that he tried to have the last guy hanged (Mike Pence) back in Jan 6th 2020, I can't imagine people are lining up for the job, especially now that the President can literally do no wrong.....

I hear that Tulsi Gabbard is happy to do it and show everyone she is the Republican we always knew she was. Democrats should pick AOC as the replacement. Republicans would be in full panic.

Democratic leadershit will never allow a progressive candidate.

AOC is too young to be President

EDIT: I was mistaken

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

She turns 35 in October, well before the January inauguration (and the November election)

I would vote for this all day. Brainwashed republicans would follow Biden around with a pillow in case he fell, rather than let her run the country.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Won't she be old enough by the election time?

I see this incorrectly brought up literally any time I see someone mention AOC for president.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Yep, I was mistaken

Smart people aren't...

Wannabe sycophants who think properly sucking up will make them important are the ones trying to get the job.

Republicans say Biden is sundowning... Biden announces curfew.

It will probably be announced at the convention when he is formally selected to run.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

He doesn't want to announce a VP in case he goes to jail. He'd probably pick one of his kids on the outside chance that ever happened.

Republicans and irrational hatred of powerful women.

Name a more iconic duo.

Republicans and voting against their own interests

Israel and genocidal baby mutilators.

Take a look at Harris' last several poll numbers. And that's with nobody drawing attention to her. She wouldn't need any help from Republicans to lose.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Republicans are running against 99% of U.S. population. Though half of the population haven't noticed yet.

They’ve got their work cut out for them, she didn’t just fall out of a coconut tree!

This is random and nitpicky, but can we talk about that ad's soundtrack?

Maybe things have changed and I'm out of touch, but I thought the thing was to put suspenseful horror movie music over attack ads, you know, like the classic Michael Myers theme. The music they used is like, kind of dark, but it's more like an action movie, like the way the bass drops at 0:33 is the part of a trailer where they'd so some really cool stunt, and around 0:50 the pace is picking up to where it's like, trying to hype you up to see the movie. Like, it's not that far off from the soundtrack in the trailer for Inception, where it's like, yeah there are some dark aspects to it, but it's still supposed to be fun and entertaining. I know I'm not the target audience, but this just left me wondering when the Kamala movie dropped, and not like, worried about some sinister plot.

The whole thing feels kinda disjointed tbh. At first the message is, "Biden is senile, Kamala is really running thing, and she's gonna let the immigrants in, be afraid," but then by the end the message is, "Haha, Kamala is saying all this incoherent stuff, she's a joke!" It's like they got distracted and lost the plot halfway through a one minute ad. I guess they're just throwing stuff at a wall to see what sticks, but it's very unfocused and low effort.
