I have literally seen them call Fox News leftist because it will no longer air election denial bs.

The story is that he proudly shared this story. He thinks telling his young child to shut the hell up because Trump is more important paints him in a good light.

This wasn't a hidden camera capturing a bad moment, this was Vance bragging.

It's a story because he's a weirdo monster that cares more about licking Trump's boots than loving his kids. Even if that's not the case, he told that story precisely to communicate how much he loves a man he previously described as a modern Hitler.

The real question at this point is who shows up to the poll booth. I'm not sure how much trump using the n word would depress his turnout or enthuse kamala turnout.

I disagree. Good people love bomb. People that love bomb don't always do it for nefarious (from their perspective) reasons.

I'm a former mormon, and I can tell you that love bombing (from a cultists perspective) is never from ill intent. They are just trying to share "the truth" and they believe that if you adopt "the truth" everything about your life will be made better.

If someone is love bombing you for an organization, first thing to do is investigate that organization. Read the stuff they don't want you to read. Particularly, don't pull that information from their media/materials. You should seek out the opinions of ex-members of the organization to get a real feel for what it's all about.

For example, imagine if the rotary club was trying to recruit you. What do you think an exrotarian would say? Well, you can google it. And, surprise, it's mostly "Yeah, I moved and just sort of lost interest".

Now go visit /r/exmormon and see the miles of shit they have to say about previous membership.

That, to me, is the acid test. Are exmembers that way because it was just sort of a "meh" event. Or did they get there because the organization was abusive?

Harris also has the skull shape of a Marxist! And the fact that she's a girl will make all the other manly nations call us Sissies!

I tend to agree, but I will say if Dems truly want the will of the people, then they should switch all the primaries over to RCV. The current FPTP system gives incumbents huge advantages while penalizing reform candidates with similar politics.

Send delegates proportionally allocated to the top 2 or 3 and run the convention the same way.

He literally rallied a violent mob to try and overturn the last election.

Like, you have to be a moron to think he's "joking" about trying to be a fascist dictator.

Nah, he turned deeply unpopular right after the debate with trump. He was hemorrhaging in the polls. His backers abandoned him because they feared trump winning. Several polls about biden dropping out had something like 75% of democrats wanting him to drop.

Kamala has ran to the left of biden on a number of issues. If this were a "billionares fear taxes" situation she wouldn't have been the replacement. There are some rumors that establishment dems didn't want Kamala to be the pick because of her policies.

All while crying about it because you "died from the woke mind virus".

You know, his still living daughter who he'd still have a fucking relationship with if he didn't suck ass so much.

Were it not for Israel, I'd be telling you about how great Biden has been domestically (except the boarder). His administration has by and large been very progressive with the policies it's enacted. Biden's abhorrent sucking up to Israel during an active genocide is the huge dark spot on his presidency.

It is a bit dumb that "he's too old" is what got him out.

The supports also need to withstand being rammed by drunks in dodge rams.
