The next presidential debate is going to be wild. Harris is going to grab MAGA by their dick.
I truly believe Trump won't debate her
He has nothing to gain and everything to lose by doing a debate with her so I’d say the chances are fifty/fifty.
depends on how badly she can bruise his ego via "he's scared" comments
Trump’s got thick skin.
It’ll just be water off a duck’s pussy.
Ducks have a cloaca.
why do u know so much about ducks
I mean, it's all birds and reptiles. Why do u know so little?
Because someone told him ducks are similar to chickens
He could always drop out, so he can avoid it.
She’s a former attorney, prosecutor, DA, and AG. I’d be shocked if he debated her. She would eat him alive.
He's already saying he won't debate Harris unless they switch the previously agreed upon moderators from ABC to Fox News.
You'd hope. But everyone always seems to pull their verbal punches when it comes to Trump
Harris has already called him a sexual predator, among other things. Hopefully she's still willing to do so.
As I understand it, he can be called a rapist without risking slander. Let's go all fucking in. But run that past a lawyer first.
I'm sure as a lawyer, she'll know exactly how to toe that line.
Smart lawyers, like doctors, know to consult other lawyers.
I really hope the new presidential candidate runs her talking points past checks notes herself
A very optimistic article; despite the assertive title, it consists mainly of "shoulds" - enthusiasm among Democrats should rise; Democratic candidate poll numbers should rise; those withheld donations should start pouring in. There's very little in this article aside from wishful (or, hopeful, if you will) thinking.
Being hopeful is fine. Predicting positive outcomes can be reasonable. The title is a complete misnomer, though; none of this has yet come to pass.
If Vice President Kamala Harris gets what is rightfully hers and ascends to the top of the ticket, we should see dynamic change ahead.
gonna pick a bone on the "ascends" and "rightful" bits. sorry. no kings, queens or ascentions. fair delegate vote.
Best option for unity is no one runs against her. I know Whitmer and Newsom both said they wouldn't run against Harris. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
he got his republican marching orders...

Well that was good for a laugh. What a self-important douche. Okay, let's see if there is anyone who will mount a serious challenge.
Riding on, or responding to, my comment?
I find Lemmy sometimes seems to attach my replies to arbitrary comments. I mostly assume it's my mistake, but I'm increasingly thinking it's a rare bug in replying.
so, my reply to you re: misthreadiing was... misthreaded. am gonna go home now.
ackkk. should have been attached to the OP. very rarely I get a comment mis-threaded, but like you, think/thought it was a mistouch. interesting
It hasn't even been 12 hours. It's way too early to be expecting results.
But, we have some anyway. Currently up to $55m
Don't get me wrong. I'm on Team Harris, assuming she's the nominee. If she's not, I'm on team whomever is.
But to be clear: my complaint was that the title was counting eggs before they hatch, while the article title was a litany of things we progressives hope happen.
