TFW you get shot and it’s not even the biggest political story of the week.

He’s already trying to weasel out of the next debate. He’s scared.

What’s weird is she is relaxing. After all the chaos and bullshit and jagged geriatrics from those two guys, it’s just relaxing to see her.

.

Surprised the hell out of me when I realized every time I saw her photo some tension left my shoulders. More so the moment I realized she was running. Weird outside of the context of the jagged geriatrics dance of chaos and decline of the last 8 years, within that context, not so much. I cannot be alone in that sensation. .

Don’t underestimate that impact. It’s a show stopper.

I enjoy these moments when the bots get disrupted and have no agenda to spread on social media.

I still find it strange that this is considered "late in the election cycle". We need legislation limiting campaign length to something reasonable.

Indeed. Bidens age was the only real argument he had. And now he is the ancient on in the race.

They need this energy to make people want to vote; not just to vote apathetically or to perhaps not bother because they don't feel like it makes a difference, but to get out and do it with purpose, energised to tell others to do it. The VP pick is going to be a crucial part of this, with some actual policies/promises to back it up. The Republicans have shown fuck all, so here's hoping for a progressive campaign which speaks to people.

There isn't much Trump can attack her on that he doesn't support himself when it comes to Kamala's negatives. So she is actually a great choice. She also has gotten voters out of the loop of despair, even if there isn't much info about her plans besides continuing Biden's agenda.

I laughed a lot when the international news on TV around here claimed that "in a move that took politicians and campaign mangers by surprise, Biden left the race"... But the more I look around, the more it looks like people were surprised by it.

How come?

Good. That fucker needs to be more scared more often.

What's funny is that this whole thing really started once Biden badly underperformed at the debate.

If Trump had just done his usual cowardly thing and bailed on the debate, we wouldn't have seen that humiliating performance by Biden, and he'd probably still be on the ticket.

Once again, Trump's pride has taken him to a place he didn't want to go.
