    A lot of people saying that Trump will win easy now. What about Trump’s campaign is winning? He is tripling down on his own base. Making zero effort to actually win new or swing voters. He wants to get them foaming at the mouth so that when (if) he loses they throw donations at him to pay for all his legal issues. Him running for re-election looks to me to just be the only way he think he can get a pardon and or money to pay legal fees.

      Cause a lot of Americans on both sides of the lines are either anti-cop, misogynists, or racists and Kamala hits all three.

      Also, people say Joe Biden is the only one who beat Trump. Sure, but alternatively (and I think much more accurately) Hillary Clinton is the only (major) one who could lose to him. Didn’t help that her email case was briefly reopened a week before the election.

        People have been saying ‘anyone but these two fossils’ for awhile now I guess now we’ll get to see if they really meant it or if they just wanted to whine.

      Those people are dumb. Before and after this news Trump and his campaign made comments suggesting they wanted to run against Biden and do not want to run against Harris. They will probably even challenge this in the courts! They will lose…

        Oh, on the contrary. His entire 2016 run was just because he wanted to stick it in Obama’s face after Obama humiliated him at that White House correspondents dinner. You can see him sitting there in the audience, just seething. For a raging narcissist, humiliation is one of the worst things in the world.

        He’s narcissistic, so if doing something doesn’t offer validation for his broken ego, he won’t do it.

          Believe it or not, disabled people’s choices are not defined solely by their disabilities. A person with NPD is perfectly capable of choosing to do things that are not motivated by their NPD. Disabled people aren’t fantasy creatures, they’re people just like you and me who have free will and make decisions for a variety of personal reasons.

          Also Trump isn’t disabled. That guy oozes neurotypical privilege.

          It makes absolutely no sense to the rest of the planet, which greatly puzzles the US people.

          Also white people are all from the caucasus. Makes total sense.

    That would be a trip. Based on her record as a Californian prosecutor, does she deserve our vote?

      her voting record is to the left of all Senate democrats. she’s definitely to the left of Biden on Israel too, although pretty much everyone except republicans would be.

        He did. Bigger one than Harris. All people cried about is that he is old. One good debate performance where he got enough rest before would ease that worry. Harris is someone who ruins the lifes of innocent people by sending charging them with crimes they havent committed and only has 4 months to develop some kind of character.

          One good debate performance out of an old man that just got covid which was probably severe enough that he had to drop out? I very much doubt that would have happened.

            He dropped out because other democrats stabbed him in the back and pressured him to drop out because they are either stupid or want Trump to win at this point.

              He dropped out after even more polls showed he had no real chance of beating Trump. The poll that came out that morning showed him losing Michigan by 7 points. Polls earlier in the week showed too close to call for a bunch of “safe” states. Harris is not my dream candidate, but she consistently polls better against Trump than Biden did following the debate.

          No. Just no. Nobody was willing to roll those dice. He had a week after that debate where he should have been getting interviewed, been on talk shows, and calling people to shore up support. And for the most part he just didn’t.

          And what Harris did is what prosecutors do, I’m looking through the old primary stuff and everything I’m finding was either debunked or blown way out of proportion.
