I am still not the biggest fan of Kamala (she did a lot of good work but she was still basically a cop) but she is kicking massive amounts of ass. Hitting all the high notes and making it clear she is perfectly willing to “go low”.
It is just so fucking refreshing after decades of Democrats talking around issues and evil and… Kamala is straight up talking about how this is about basic human rights and that trump led a violent insurrection.
[edit] And yup. there we go. Lock down that border! Still hopeful that the immigration reforms actually come through but… cops gonna cop[/edit]
Look, I was skeptical too, especially when she ran in 2020, but look into her actual record. Or at least watch DL Hugelys speech from last night if not. There is a lot of misinformation about what she actually has done in her career.
Additionally, it’s important to recognize that there are people who are approaching our border seeking anmnesty because they fear for their lives and at the same time people who are trafficking our fellow humans and leaving them in trucks to die.
The bipartisan deal was supported by everyone because there is a legitimate crisis. The crisis is not the people seeking amnesty, as Trump would have you believe, but people trying to take advantage of the fact that we are so busy screening legitimate asylum seekers that we cannot catch the bad actors.
That’s why it’s important to have the option to close the border before our border agents are at a level that they can no longer effectively do their job because there are whole semi trucks worth of people who have died being trafficked across the border.
Additionally, that’s is just one piece of the border bill, which also includes things like more jobs for people so that more asylum seekers can be processed, better use of technology to detect people trying to traffic others across the border at non official ports and actual things that WILL improve the situation we have unlike that stupid wall.
This bill has the potential to save the lives of migrants. Trump killed it for political reasons.
If the dems run the table the fillabuster can be ended, and the Supreme Court can be expanded and fixed.
They will do a real border bill not the draconian one.
If the dems run the table the fillabuster can be ended
It could have ended when we had a supermajority under Obama. It could have ended with a simple majority under Biden.
It will never be ended.
Playing both sides on Israel doing a genocide and warmongering on Iran. Pathetic.
Don Lemon says George W. Bush might be a speaker tonight.
Jesus, can you imagine?
I mean, it would be on brand for the Dems. They’ve already forgiven all his war crimes and atrocious presidency.
Its about creating permission structures for Republicans who don’t recognize their party to defect with their vote.
You don’t have to condone dude A to let him tell the right audience that dude B is way bad.
Dems shifting to the right? The ratchet effect.
Thanks for self-identifying. Saved me some time.
Glad to catch it now considering the BS that account pushes…
Fighting to stop genocide is BS?
Wow fuck all those people! She hugged someone!
They are so bad! You make such a point! She’s so shitty because of that photo! [BRANDED!]
Dare we say “mission accomplished” despite the fact that it’s totally off and has nothing to to do with anything? How far off the point is necessary?
How many photos do you need to keep up the appearance of being so far off?
Why Do Democrats Keep Embracing George W. Bush?
Lest we forget, Bush was an incredibly divisive president. He brought the country together for a fleeting moment after 9/11—then promptly frittered away all that goodwill by trusting his stupid gut and going his own way. He won reelection by slandering his war-hero opponent and stoking conservative fears about gay marriage. His line about being “a uniter, not a divider” was a long-standing joke. And his successor—who, for better and often for worse, seemed to genuinely believe in the ideal of national unity—rode a wave of anti-Bush fervor into the White House.

So bush is bad and you keep shitting on democrats why?
You’re getting pitiful at this point.
EDIT to add this is pitiful shit and you should feel pitiful.
You’re defending GWB?
They’re defending GWB.
Hell no! I’m attacking your shitty logic based off a photo! You really are that dense?
How dense do you have to be to see that photo as evidence of anything?
hope so; harris getting supported by all of the living former (and present) presidents over trump would be quite the feat. some people in the thread need to understand not everything is for them; it’s about appealing to moderates and potential republican voters too.
Behind the scenes at the DNC…
the DNC kicked out Hasan while he’s being interviewed by the New York Times to 60,000 people
dumbasses
https://x.com/Elf_lien_/status/1826786088867786994
And now he’s tending on Twitter
The marchers are on the move now…
“Just like 1968, there’s nothing here to celebrate” chants as protesters march near the United Center outside the 2024 DNC in Chicago
They give a Republican a platform to speak by not the actual Uncommitted delegates who have a right to be there.
Protesters FLOOD outside VP Kamala Harris DNC After Party Event, Disrupting Attendees with chants and sound
I like how the democrats are taking back our flag, USA chants, and the idea of freedom.
Fuck those MAGA assholes. We need to take back the snek flag, too.
I want a red hat with white Harris/Walz text on it.
Those MAGA fuckers dont own red hats either!
not just that; democrats are taking back morning in america.
She killed it! That was spectacular!
The only thing progressive about the speech was the abortion issue. She kept talking about war, the most lethal military on the planet, went right wing on the border issue, etc.
Well rebel progressive scum, take comfort in the fact that she promised a “new way forward” which I assume no more of Bidens “red lines” on the war crimes we participate in that are ignored when they are crossed, and make no mistake, Henceforrth we will have “magenta lines” that we will all be very consternated at. She will have a new, stronger, grumpier way of readng Netenyahu the riot act! she might carry the pallets of bombs herself and slam them down meaningfully as they are delivered. (I mean, not too hard, we dont want the donors to notice) Watch out! Things are changing! Kamala knows us and will be the voice for *ALL Americans! Not just the donors!
(*rules and restrictions apply. )
/s
Seriously though, about 60% of the US doesnt support Israels actions in this war and consider war crimes a top tier issue. the dems ignore that at their peril. Trump is not so far behind and they are rolling the dice on something that should be a slam dunk. Anyone notice Trump attacking the zionist Shapiro today? He’s trying to court the anti war voters. It wont be enough for me, but it might be the only possible vote for some people.
Sorry for the late post, had a bunch of stuff going on today!
That’s a wrap for this cycle! Thanks for taking part everybody! See you in 2028! ;)
Sen. Elizabeth Warren at the DNC: Trust Donald Trump and JD Vance? Shoot, I wouldn’t trust those guys to move my couch.
This has been a pretty remarkable piece of marketing, and communication of Democratic ideals from a party who has seemed to struggle with that pretty much as far back as I can remember.
Great job by Madam Vice President soon to be President.
