Been going thru all the coverage on Mamala, and that shit makes me feel like a delusional lib again. The system aint working, Kamala is a pig, but goddamn she has been hitting some high notes on some recent speeches/moments along the campaign trail (for biden and herself)

The narratives are writing themselves now, and the hogs are imploding—trying to use the courts to keep her off the ballot is so juicy (given he attempted to use courts to win a lost election and, not to mention, loaded SCOTUS, further showing how conservatives go around the ppl with the judicial); they can use this in a hundred diff ways. He literally complained ab dems using courts to keep him off the ballot. But, regardless, these dynamics in the new race are excellent. 

DA vs convict. Strong pro-choice woman vs weak anti-choice man. True unity (no open con. Chaos) vs “just saying the word unity.” Young(ish!) former VP vs oldest-ever &amp; disgraced nominee. 

Dont get me wrong, they have to play this very well bc a week ago i would have said i was unsure of kamalas chances but hesitant to box her out. However, for the first time in months i am excited ab the prospect of another four years without a nazi going bananas in the oval office. 

She has to own him in the debate (if he pussies out they gotta air millions of ads calling him a pussy for only debating gramps). She has to pick a good VP-i like Kentucky gov too, but there are several options. But she is 19 yrs younger than Trump and his campaign’s done all the leg work in expressing how important a cogent and younger executive is. He’s fucked himself and this is the single best decision from the biden admin in months if not ever. 

Srry for rant. Just not a doomer for the first time in ages and no longer have to cringe at every utterance of Bidens demented brain. Plus she did air out desires for a ceasefire before biden. But time will tell if shes any different. I hope so at the very least. And that hope is different. The US could end up like those EU nations if we keep some momentum.

Also feeling libbed-up. More importantly, I did a deep dive on Kamala last night, and after seeing some of her history in context, I've changed my opinion on her. I thought she was terrible as well, but now I think she may be low-key progressive AF, and just really good at playing politics. 

I've been challenging friends to do some more research on her accomplishments as well as her problems, and a couple of them were as surprised as I was. Still not the lefty progressive populist I want, but in the context of the dying Democratic party... Not bad.

Every fucking election people say this.  EVERY FUCKING TIME!  And it's NEVER true.  Look at Obama, for fuck's sake, how many new wars did he start in the Middle East?  The guy ran on "CHANGE" after Bush and sat there renewing the "PATRIOT Act" his entire 2 terms.

The gaslighting here is unreal.  These people are mass murderers.  Harris is still washing fresh blood off her hands from the genocide of Palestine, and you people are sitting here saying she's a fucking CLOSET PROGRESSIVE.  I literally want to fucking scream.  Shut the fuck up about politics if you don't understand what's happening, all of you.  Let the people who've actually spent their lives studying politics speak, you are NOT experts.

Yeah, well, I'll be on board with you as soon as we start actually prosecuting politicians for these war crimes, but as long as we have literally no power to do anything else, I'm gonna take the tiny win we just got with Biden being forced out, and appreciate the small victory of not having christo-fascism ruling the US next year.
assistant
Right, so you want to prosecute the cabal that's committing war crimes, but you're not going to do anything to get them out of power to make that possible.  Sounds like a good plan.
user
Oh I'm all about doing things to get them out of power. Just not sure how that's possible, or helpful in this moment.
