Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What's really funny is how every single normie thread about this on the Internet is now locked. What is the point of comments sections of they are just going to get shut down as soon as anything gets spicy? It's also pretty cool how libs can be shitty to anyone and lash out against people plainly stating things like "what's happening in Gaza is a genocide" but God forbid we be a little happy about this new development

All I feel is dread. America will not vote for a female president right now. 😞

What the f is going on? This has to be on purpose. Why wouldn’t he just keep chugging along and drop out AFTER the election? It’s been TWO WEEKS since that awful debate. Harris is a BLACK WOMAN that even DEMOCRATS didn’t like in the original debate. She’s been forced on us, and the inherent racism and sexism of the USA will never get her to the White House. Why would he wait this long? This seems so horribly bungled it HAS to be strategic. Democrats truly are just as bad, and our false hope just spoke through its actions instead of its words for once. America is so fucked.

In no way am I saying this is right or just, but the only reason Trump won in the first place was because he was against a woman. And now it's a black woman. How do people honestly expect that to go???

Again, I'm not saying this is right and I absolutely wish things were different but America is not ready for that. We have to live in reality.

the US will never elect a woman. It’s trump who will win.

I’m afraid of people like my father in law from PA, who is a democrat, but probably won’t vote for a black woman.

We need the whitest, most cornfed VP to be on Harris’s side.

You mean like Josh Shapiro, who will definitely be on top of the list

or Mark Kelly!

Kamala hasn’t even announced her candidacy, but assuming Biden endorsed her, there must be intent for her to announce soon.

But can she win?

a POC woman? I'd be shocked

Just some examples. The preemptive racism and misogyny of liberals is on full display. These spineless worms will tell you we can't have black / female / gay leaders because America is inherently racist, but they will always be the first ones to take action and prevent it from happening. "America will never elect a gay president," they'll tell you, as they vote in their primaries to prevent it.

Not to say I think Harris is a champion of women or black causes in any regard.

Already got a text from some loser PAC to "thank Joe" and send a contribution to "show commitment to Kamala." Replied that they should [redact] themselves etc etc, I know it's a robotext and no one will read that shit, but maybe some lanyard dork will stumble upon it and take a hint timmy-pray
