MODERATORS
Kamala should really be doing much better going against a despicable convicted rapist and a couch fucker.
She will be.
I'm increasingly confident about a blue wave this election. First multiracial female president in a time when bodily autonomy is under attack.
And that's all without taking into account who and what she is running against.
Don’t get overconfident. Remember to vote!
Can't have a blue wave without a blue vote.
Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
I was told fear is the little death that will bring total obliteration and so far that seems to be holding true.
Biden should have done better. Anyone who is not a rapist felon should be doing better.
It's insane how much of politics comes down to ~vibes~. Yeah Biden was too old, but I still can't fathom how many were ready to let Trump win just because voting for a tired grandpa "didn't feel good".
America is increasingly an aesthetic country IMO.
America is increasingly an ignorant country IMO. Probably because half of our politicians are actively trying to dismantle public education.
The exasperating part is that the aesthetics of a hellscape running under the thumb of these radically right wing creeps and weirdoes will some of the very worst...
Yes, I'm partially referring to the dichotomy Kierkegaard lays out in Either/Or between an aesthetic life and an ethical one. It's clear to me that we discarded the possibility of ethics a few decades ago.
But then I'm also referring to what you're talking about and I totally agree that the fascist aesthetics are terrible as well.
However, they're also increasingly popular for some reason...cars that look like they'll be used exclusively for transport to a black site, hideous people deforming themselves with clownish cosmetic procedures, every iteration of an American flag except the regular one, the fucking cyber truck...there are more examples...fucking ick.
Well it always comes down to the margins.
Most voters just always vote the same way because it's how their parents voted. Sad, but true. Then you have a band of voters that actually will vote based on the party platforms and the track record of who's running. But all of these voters are easy to predict, set the platform accordingly and you know how many votes to expect. And that's not a bad thing if an issue is important to voters and the politicians know this and can get those votes by promising to do something about it and have a fairly good track record on fulfilling their promises, everything goes smoothly.
But then you're left with a small percentage of people who will vote based on who they'd like to have a beer with, which one is more handsome, which one reminds them of one of their relatives or whatever.
It comes down to the margins, and the margins are random as fuck.
Since her campaign is only a week old, it will take some time for polling to catch up, but hopefully not much longer 🤞
Sounds like a 1970s small venue wrestling tag team
Yeah, but the side kick keeps hitting the opponent with couch cushions instead of steel chairs and that's not very effective.
Speak for yourself 💎💎🤤
Don't forget about the whole "probably a pedophile who wanted to fuck his daughter since she was a child"
I'm just curious but where did the couch fucker thing come from because I saw memes of it on lemmy but don't know where it came from
Apparently Trump's vp pick has a book where he discussed sex with furniture.
The rapist is pretty much confirmed but I doubt that someone ever fucked a couch. Not even I fucked a couch, so I am sceptical.
Yeah, the couch-fucking is a bogus story. You don't need to make up embarrassing shit about JD Vance. There's plenty of it that's true. And there will be more coming out as the campaign progresses.
She’s moderate. Always was. That will lose some people, but I still this will be a slam dunk for her.
She was on the left end of the Senate. If she is a moderate, so is the whole democratic Senate.
She could prove me wrong, but there is a lot of evidence that she is more progressive than Biden, who was already much more progressive than we thought when we all held our noses and voted against trump in 2020.
Dems are right leaning moderates, yes
Take all the time you need with this
Fair assessment. Feel free to vote for the socialist candidate.
...her most-effective tactic will be to attack aggressively and mercilessly in a way the democratic establishment so far has avoided; popular sentiment loves a bully and incompetent fascists make ripe targets...
