"There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.' Therefore, it would be inappropriate to schedule things with Harris because Democrats very well could still change their minds," the statement said.

This is a statement from a presidential campaign.

The quote should be put with spoiler tags and a surgeon general's warning that reading the contents has been shown to lower your IQ by at least four percentage points, and prolonged exposure to even seeing the words on the screen could cause permanent brain damage.

[-] [email protected] 66 points 11 months ago

It's okay I already have permanent brain damage, I can translate for everyone.

It says,

Donald Trump is tired of changing his pants every time someone mentions debating Harris, so we respectfully decline.

Thank you,

Your future inmate president.

Implying Trump changes when he shits himself is far too generous. People literally say he smells of shit.

am I reading this right? Republicans are saying that Obama thinks Kamala Harris is too Marxist to beat Trump?

what, and I cannot stress this enough:

What if she started roasting things. Completely breaking down the things they say in front of a whiteboard. I want that to be her entire campaign just... Letting them talk and then talk about it

Their campaign is literally saying shit that I would normally expect to hear from the mouths of 3rd world dictators. The GOP is now conspiracy theory bullshit from stem to stern.

Brave Sir Donald ran away.

Bravely ran away away.

When danger reared it's ugly head,

He bravely turned his tail and fled.

Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about

And gallantly he chickened out.

Gingerly taking to his feet,

He beat a very brave retreat.

Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald!

If it was any other, normal country, the debate schedule would not be based on whether someone wants to show up or not.

If a canditate doesn't show up, the other candidate gets to talk about their campaign.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago

The US is bizarro world in so many aspects. Political Supreme Court appointees that are appointed for life (!), two party system, the electoral college, the absurdly long election cycles...

[-] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago

The fact that the first lady does speeches and the presidents family is in the spotlight at all. (Rather dynastic for a democracy)

He's such a giant pussy that he can't debate Harris because he'll be furiously grabbing himself for the foreseeable future.

To get away from the prosecutor.

Well he's not wrong, in the end. Televising the brutal beating of a handicapped old man would be pretty inappropriate.

Hold the debate anyway. Have Kamala appear next to an empty chair.

Moderator: giving Trump a couple more minutes to appear.

(~5 min later)

Moderator: Trump is a no show. Hmm.. he originally eagerly agreed to this September debate with Biden. It’s unclear why the change of heart, but I have to say he forfeits by default.

Kamala (interrupts): Hold on, please call Trump’s probation officer to verify his attendance permission while we wait a few more min. He’s understandably a bit skiddish with prosecutors lately but I would like to yield some of my time & do him this courtesy since he donated to my campaign in 2011 & 2013.

(~5 min later)

Moderator: no go, but would you like to answer the questions next to an empty chair to have your answers heard anyway?

Kamala: yes, this way he can take all the time he needs to prepare a scripted response later given his cognitive challenges….

His supporters will require Olympic level mental gymnastics to dispel the unease they're gonna get if they even hear about this. Backing down from a debate looks cowardly no matter what his lame excuse and they'll feel the truth of that.

[-] [email protected] 60 points 11 months ago

because he is too old to debate with Harris

[-] [email protected] 57 points 11 months ago

Yes, it would be inappropriate for Harris to fight a battle of wits against an unarmed man.

If your platform and policy are good, you can debate anyone at any time. If your platform is just “other guy bad” then you’re gonna have a hard time.

What a pussy.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago

Even if Trump says no, Harris should at the very least discuss her opinions and views on camera. It could just be a single person question and answering, a debate other Democrats, or debating a third party candidtae if they don't want to back other Democrat candidates. Leaving Harris a mystery is the worst thing Democrats can do.

Lots of talented people would look forward to debating with a worthy opponent. It’s a challenge. An opportunity to rise up, prove yourself.

Trump isn’t one of those people lol

He is afraid of strong, smart women. He is afraid of people who can laugh. And he is deadly afraid of ending up losing the debate and the vote to a black woman, the kind of person that should in his mind be as inferior as a bug.

"Inappropriate" ?

How about after August 1, when she's officially nominated? Will it still be "inappropriate" to debate her then?

Didn't he just say the other day that he wanted to debate her multiple times? Don't tell us that was a weak ass lie Donnie! (We already know it was).
