America deserves a President Kamala Harris
I’m happy to see that my KHive fans at Hexbear remain loyal! I’m ready for this, I’m ready to be the extremely awkward public face of the American empire as I continue the same genocidal policies of my predecessors!
Replacing the Person Doing The Genocide with the Person Who Stood Near The Levers Of Power And Did Nothing = harm reduction
Lmfao KHive, I love it.
Yes, can’t wait for the memes
You think they need even more prisons?
age is not the only thing about Biden and Trump that is needing scrutiny
Well we should have a primary.
Biden is leading currently, 91 delegates to 0. Don’t forget to vote!
How many states Democratic parties removed anyone from their primary ballots but Joe Biden?
Yeah, sure, there is a primary.
Nobody else raised their hand, funds for a campaign, or popular support. What is it that you were expecting?
What do you mean? Trump is completely able to server. Man. Woman. Football. TV. Car. He is the most fittest president with the cleanest bill of health ever in the history of presidents. He only makes the best phone calls. Besides, he was still in office for Jan6, so that means he has full and unquestionable immunity over anything and everything he did!
“Person, woman, man, camera, TV” is the actual quote, just for the record.
It’s funnier that it’s wrong Imo.
The best immunity. Immunity you wouldn’t believe. Everybody is saying it. Very smart people are all… five judges, they all wrote a letter. They said the immunity is perfect.
Omg haha I forgot he talks like that.
immunity over anything and everything he did
And will do! For some elusive reason and plenty of fuzzy thinking.
Behold, dear reader, a man named Joe,
Whose anger and confusion doth overflow,
His words are jumbled and quite strange,
With senility’s grip, he is quite deranged.
I don’t know what’s wrong with those Dems. Does she think she just fell out of a coconut tree?
Is he sticking with Harris? Why, did she get more popular or something?
Would be kind of a self own to get a new VP. No one does that. Unless she like killed someone Biden has to ride it out
Exception proves the rule. Garner campaigned against FDR.
Aaron Good covers those shenanigans in his book American Exception. He talks about it a bit in this Macro N Cheese podcast episode (transcript included): American Exception with Aaron Good
I mean this is all basically just more media clickbait on the theme of “how is this bad for Biden”.
“Biden called old while being exonerated of classified document prosecution! How is this bad for him?”
It’s hilarious that liberals have convinced themselves that the media is being harsh on Biden and not that they have been carrying water to hide the fact he’s on the verge of death and actively gleefully spitting in the faces of the people who elected him last time.
They literally post articles that boil down to “don’t believe your lying eyes, Biden is doing great” and liberals still complain they aren’t doing enough heavy lifting for him.
Like, why is it literally everybody’s job to get Biden elected except for fucking Biden?
Hate to break it to you lady but no, you abso-fucking-lutely are not.
How come? (Genuine question)
Most people dislike her. Most black people do not lile her. She bleeds black staff constantly, this was on the news. Like what has she really done with her given portfolio? Most people are barely aware of what it even is.
Just saw that Biden will be not taking a Mental Cognitive Test on his next physical. Wonder why.
Maybe because there are a number of videos lile this plus all the recent stuff. It is concerning. I bet they will swap for Newsom.
Hell no to Harris, she has negative charm every interview I’ve seen, like she has utter contempt for anyone else.
There were 4 opeds in the NYT over the weekend talking about Biden’s age, which felt remarkably candid for the elite rag it is. One of them in particular was an “interesting” idea where Biden is swapped out before the convention, but after the primaries / delegates are assigned. Democracy FTW (/s)
Now that I think about it though, why would the aides actually running the white house want a real leader? Seems like they have it pretty good as it is.
The inside politics reason that Harris exists in the white house, is that the Hillary faction of the DNC (who hates obama, almost as much as they hate bernie), were positioning Harris as their replacement for Clinton. After Harris face-planted repeatedly during the primary and it was obvious she was never going to be elected, she joined the centrist voltron along with Pete Buttigieg, Bloomberg, Amy Klobachar, and Elizabeth Warren who all dropped out and endorsed Biden right before South Carolina in order to stop Bernie. Pete got to be secretary of transportation, Harris got VP.
Like what has she really done with her given portfolio? Most people are barely aware of what it even is.
She told Hondurans to the U.S.
What’s really funny is is such a goofy quote that even people who aren’t remotely leftists use it. If people don’t know where it’s from the seeds are right there for a blatant anti-immigrant speech to blow up in her face and not go away.
She’s borderline brain-dead even though she’s in her prime. I genuinely hope Biden wins AND lives for another five years.
I would hope so. I can’t imagine anyone agrees to be VP without understanding that they may have to take up the mantle of President without much notice.
One of the reasons Hillary lost (aside from that asshole James Comey) was that a significant percentage of this country doesn’t believe a woman can lead, and not all of those disbelievers are Republicans.
You’re absolutely correct. People are seriously misinterpreting what you said, maybe intentionally. I don’t know why people are clamoring to defend sexists.
Fine with a woman. Not fine with someone that everyone feels is crooked as hell. People just don’t like Hillary. Plain as that. Damn near any other well spoken woman could have beaten trump in 2016. The crooked DNC shoehorned Hillary in because they thought anyone would win against trump.
Tbh I don’t even blame Comey since everyone thought Trump would lose. Better to make it look like he wasn’t waiting for her to be president first and have conservatives going bat shit that the FBI is run by Democrats trying to steal the election…I mean they do that now anyways lol, but still.
No.
I wouldn’t vote for Hillary period for many reasons. Her sex is not one of them.
A random fact, I actually did vote for a woman to be president. But, it damn sure was not Hillary. There is too much stink associated with her. Too much shit swept under the rug.
Why do you think their comment was directed at you?
Is it possible that Hillary just wasn’t a good candidate?
Nope, it was HER TURN! Now shut your deplorable mouth and quit questioning the Holy Neoliberal narrative! The Third Way shall provide!
~/s for the dumb~
Lol, are you seriously still peddling the “if you don’t vote for Hillary you’re sexist” bullshit? It was pathetically transparent back in 2016, it’s downright delusional now.
Couldn’t have anything to do with her being an unapologetic war hawk. Or a Clinton (the last one helped set up our economy to crash in 2008). Or a weak candidate with weak positions pandering to the middle even during the primary instead of pushing left. Or an entitled narcissist who colluded with the DNC leadership to put their thumb on the scale. Or a petulant child who was too busy smearing her primary opponent even after the general was over to take responsibility for the fact that she and her campaign directly gave us Trump by propping him up as a pied piper.
Or her sexism. Or sense of entitlement. Get terribly out of touch comments and attempts at jokes. Her unfair attacks on Bernie like suggesting he wasn’t working on healthcare in the '90s
Yeah, like the people who equate not voting for Hillary with sexism seem to forget that she ran a hideously out of touch campaign - “America is already great” as a direct response to “Make America great again” which didn’t exactly resonate with anyone who was making less than $200K a year and struggling with the forever recession.
It’s wild watching Democrats doing everything they can to repeat 2016. Now it’s “Bidenomics” says the economy’s great, why won’t you listen to us? Appointing a special counsel that releases a report about illegally storing classified material that says Biden’s too forgetful to have had intent. Instead of collapsing at a 9/11 memorial, Biden’s had 4 major incidents with his memory in the space of a week. Biden’s net favorability of -17 is lower than Hillary hit even after the Comey report. DNC removing candidates from the primary ballot that they’re scared of. Next thing you know, we’re going to find out Biden never stopped in Wisconsin for the 2024 campaign.
I expect any VP should be ready to serve as long as they are VP. That’s like, the biggest role of a VP other than as a tie breaker in the Senate.
You’re usually not supposed to talk about it though, because it’s basically saying “I don’t think the President is fit to lead”
I’d say that would be one of the duties of the VP, to organize the 25th amendment and become president if the current president is unfit to lead. Of course that is assuming you were chosen to be VP because of abilities, rather then to appeal to a certain state or demographic. For example when Obama chose Biden to begin with.
Well, no. It’s saying, IF the President BECOMES unfit to lead for any reason, the VP should be expected to take over. This is a topic of literally every election.
If a VP isn’t ready to take over, they are a bad VP. There’s a reason why VPs have a debate before elections on policy.
You are literally right, but politically wrong. How shit like that plays can be very different from the carefully parsed out phrasing. This is one of the reasons that Republicans consistently kick the shit out of Democrats on messaging.
Democratic politicians love getting high on their own farts with clever language and nuanced takes. They do this shit all the time because they are so deeply out of touch.
*ready to rule the regime
There are few people I trust less as a leader than the decaying husk of Jim Crow.
Kamala Harris is one of them. Cognitively I’m more concerned about her. I would be less likely to vote than I am now and my current plan is to vote for my dog.
What do you mean by cognitively - does she have any cognitive decline like the two front runners?
Could they just trade places? Run as a Harris Biden ticket. There is a lot more endless whining about Biden than Harris after all, and I imagine it would throw Newscorp for a spin while they refocus on new non politics reasons to hate Harris. She’s younger, more likable, and can point to the same exact record.
Given that the current Dem plan seems to be to do nothing and just hope that the Republicans never win again, starting a tradition of the VP of one admin graduating to the Presidency of the next seems like it might also make sense to limit the difficulty faced holding the office after a second term.
It’s not whining, it’s justifiable outrage. The fact that Harris can point to the same exact record is not a plus. There were polls before this memory issue even came up showing that Trump was beating Biden with blacks, Latinos and voters under 25! Do you realize how bad that is!? Democrats have to absolutely dominate in those demographics to have a chance at winning. It’s true that polling at this stage is pretty useless but, even so, that ought to be setting off alarm bells. This is really bad.
BTW: if you really want to alienate voters that the Democrats desperately need, then keep using words like “whining”.
I don’t know, I’d say Fox News and the New York Times running constant stories on a canadates age or speaking ability while avoiding more than a footnote mention of any policy, actions, or laws the candidate has shaped, no matter how watered down they were, is whining. If it was justifiable outrage, surely the focus would be on things he was actually doing, like supporting Isreal’s far right or backing down when faced with a incompetent House, and not about how someone with a speech impediment flubed a speech?
Ah. I didn’t realize you were going for the Fox News / New York Times demographic. I’m not sure tagging in an unlikable black woman from California is going to get you very far with that crowd, but I wish you the best of luck.
Biden pretty obviously has got some working memory issues that go beyond a simple speech impediment. Personally I don’t think that’s a big deal for an effective executive, since good staffing and delegation can bridge that gap. It’s pretty horrible for a presidential candidate though. It’s a really good thing that Trump is no more interested in a debate than Biden.
BTW: if you really want to alienate voters that the Democrats desperately need, then keep using words like “whining”.
This. The Democratic establishment’s smug, centerist, out of touch attitude is MASSIVELY self destructive. Are their political consultant’s ALSO massively out of touch??
The Democratic establishment and their political consultants are pretty much the same exact group. It’s a revolving door system to distribute campaign donations. DNC members move in and out of the various campaign organizations, consultancies, and government positions.
Campaign money gets spent on consultants who take a cut and spend most of the rest on ineffective television adds. The primary purpose of the adds is not to reach voters, but to purchase the loyalty of broadcasters who will then cooperate with campaigns. That’s why they have been so slow to shift to the Internet, even though it provides the most bang for the buck. Leverage over broadcasters is crucial in maintaining a news blackout for progressive candidates.
