You guys realize that Biden waited until after the RNC to announce this right? He's making this as hard as possible for them to pivot. You had hundreds of people in the same city, building strategies for their campaign. He had made sure that Kamala would have the delegates secured to ensure there would be no in-fighting for the next candidate. They did little to stop the media in going down the rabbit hole of the all-consuming news that he should drop out. They used it for their advantage to create a positive whirl wind around Kamala. Truly brilliant.

Do they think the dems didn’t spend a bunch promoting Biden?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

This does not effect them, so no.

This is starting to look like an effective strategy for the Democrats to drain Republican funds: don't announce your actual candidate until August.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago

Spot on. For once (not really, but this doesn't happen as often as it needs to) the Democrats are outsmarting their opponents. Let's make this the norm. All of us working together towards a common sense future.

The US election cycle is too long anyway. I'm very for this idea.

They're going to be mad no matter what. When Democrats try to pass Republican legislation they get mad.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

That's because they have an opposition based moral system instead of one based on good and evil. The only way to beat Republicans is never to play their games since the only way to win their game (in their eyes) is to fall in their ranks (agreeing with them sometimes doesn't make them like you either).

I’m in some chats with right wingers. At first they were happy. Which was actually nice for once and we stopped talking about politics every .002 seconds. Then they went down this batshit, bizarre conspiracy hole about Biden not really withdrawing because it wasn’t announced on whitehouse.gov. They’re just making fun of Kamala now. Jimmies are definitely russled.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 7 months ago

They're upset. So? They're always upset. Make them more upset by voting Democrat in the upcoming election.

Biden is now a man with nothing to lose and a supreme court that said presidents can do any damn thing they please

[–] [email protected] 27 points 7 months ago (3 children)

I would love him to do such extreme things they have no choice but to retract the rulings and put in further protections.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 7 months ago

Executive order to club the kneecaps of the supreme judges. Every Monday morning.

Unfortunately he won't do anything with that at all.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But why leave a quiet legacy when you can spend 6 months earning a whole page in a high school history book?

Just like we drew it up.

If they don't want to run a campaign against their opponent they can keep it completely at the policy level for the policy they endorse like project 2025.

MAGAs: Wait, you can do that?
