Seems like the Teamsters would have been better running mates than a fucking Cheney

Don’t worry, next election they can get Hitler’s grandson or Putins niece to help them campaign. That should get the average everyday person to come out and vote for them! Everyone loves relatives of super powerful war criminals, right?

The silver lining of 2024 is watching Kamala's entire political career implode from her own hubris. She's now resigned to HRC hot-potato status that only further polarizes the Dem base.

If the Dems had any sense they'd be distancing themselves from her entire campaign, indefinitely.

That was the silver lining on her FIRST presidential run, but the DNC didn't let it happen then and probably won't now.

A woman of color representing several different groups of people and who will pretend to be progressive sometimes but always change her mind into whatever the donor-determined party line is?

She's catnip to a Dem leadership desperately trying to compensate for not caring about the working class by pretending that optics equal substance 😮‍💨

That about sums it up

I actually heard she's aiming for a governor spot.

Specifically in how we chose a candidate after Biden stepped down.

Which is too say, how we didn't choose...

Not forcing that old genocidal fuck to step down earlier is probably a bigger issue

Unless it's aoc or bernies sanders. I'm not voting blue ever again. Actually crazy they** lost to orange, again

It's just shitty because what real alternative is there? You either go all-in on the Conservative fuck-train or you attempt some desperate form of damage control by voting for the moderately more palatable option. There's no in-between in the US that isn't a symbolic losing bet.
