No. She wasn't a good candidate ANY time she ran.

Bullied, way easier to shut down a bully.

The ones that were SURPRISINGLY good were the Gex games. Looks like they're getting a remaster too.

The money she had access to when she became the nominee was already spent, it would not be replaced if she broke with Biden.

It wasn't just the money, her staff came from Biden as well. So she would have had to re-build the entire campaign from scratch with 30 days to the convention and 100 days to the election.

It wasn't possible, and everyone (well, everyone outside lemmy) knew that.

She took a gamble, a stupid one. Stick with Biden, keep his infrastructure, hope for the best.

It was a losing gambit, but it had a better chance of working than going out on her own.

Again, the money came from Biden people. If Biden said "pull the money" it would have evaporated. Harris wouldn't have had more donations, and her staff would have left.

This is how politics works in this country.

 

So who's going to tell him that you don't call poison control for a fentanyl overdose? That's what 911 is for...

 

How is that going to work when you keep attacking ag. workers? 🤔

Campaign funds that would have evaporated if she tried to backbite Biden.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Which doesn't help when the staff and money gets pulled. I swear, it's like you do not have the first idea how politics works.

Biden was President, you go with what he says or you get cut loose with no time to rebuild on your own.

Her entire campaign was Biden people and Biden money, she towed the line or lost that with no time to build her own support.

Remember: 30 days to the convention. 108 days to the election. Piss off Biden, lose all his people and all his money. Good luck with the election!

She didn't have a choice. Her entire campaign was Biden people and Biden money. She towed the line or had no campaign.

 

I haven't made these... YET... but they look AMAZING.

 

🤔 Seems like it was just... (checks notes) 7 days ago...

"Shut up about egg prices."

 

In addition to, you know, all the legal immigrants, US citizens, Native Americans... etc...

 

Original headline meant nothing, replaced. Was "Statement from the Press Secretary"

 

Trump has a weird hard on for Jackson, best guess is because of this story:

https://teva.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p15138coll33/id/73/

(in fairness, the story is kind of badass):

"On January 30, 1835, Richard Lawrence, an unemployed house painter, produced two pistols and fired upon Andrew Jackson on the steps of the United States Capitol. Both pistols misfired and an outraged Jackson beat Lawrence with his walking cane. Lawrence was tried for attempted murder and found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to a number of institutions until his death in 1861."

Found bags of this at our local hardware store(?) and were like "We have to try this!"

Despite the name, you mix the mix with beer. Yes, they have a pairing chart. For non-alcoholic options, you can use other sparkling beverages, for the cranberry/orange loaf I used a sparkling pear.

Came out super tasty. More dense than "bread" bread, almost a cornbread or banana bread texture. Which makes sense since there was no rising time.
