Similar to her I think he's just too despised on all sides, but he's a very good communicator, one of the best in the party. He should be doing this from now to November. 

IMO this is where the online left come in and are not as big a factor as they pretend to be, where in that very small world Mayor Pete is a CIA asset and the Great Satan. I think a lot of people IRL do like him (more than Kamala at times tbh), but I just don't think you can put a gay man over yet in this climate.

Between the dead end left (many of whom are virulently homophobic and proud of it), the issues he had with black voters, and the campaign against him and his husband for having kids (along with the general campaign from left and right to demonize gay parenting in this country), it's a lot, but I do think he's been a very effective part of Biden's administration, more than I would have expected.

 Yes. Pete Buttigieg was great in that clip. He's completely right about all of these Republicans who have sold out for personal ambition. Vance disgusts me. He knows exactly what Trump is and what he capable of. What a traitor to the American people.

As one who voted for Biden in the primary (and let's stop the lie that he was unopposed. He wasn't. The options of Dean Phillips and Marianne Williamson sucked, but they were there, unlike all the unicorn savior names being thrown about now!), I am beyond pissed that my vote is being invalidated for the billionaires.

If my vote carries so little weight, I am sorely tempted to vote down ballot and leave the top blank. I hate Judas traitors.

And yes, I know that means a vote for Trump. But since everyone already has him anointed, what's the effing difference?

Aaron Sorkin is out here writing fanfiction and proving that Hollywood has a bigger agenda against Biden. SN: This just confirms why I've NEVER been a fan of Sorkin's pretentious ass writing.

Mike Johnson just confirmed what many of us have been saying--that if the Dems win (with a new candidate) they'll challenge the results in the courts.

And the Dumbocrats still don't get it. These folks are literally showing their playbook and you still have a handful of people just stupidly going along with the program. 

 

 

What follows is a very insightful thread.

Breaking…Joe Biden is dropping out of the race. 

 

There goes any chance of us winning in November. I think I’m going to be sick. 

 

Just kill us now. Really.

Many of us do not have the luxury of dying, so all due respect to Aaron Sorkin's deranged op-ed, it's time for the party to get behind Kamala.

Hater's won.

I'm behind her, but, much like the 2020 election, we need a White, cis-gender MALE to opposite the orange dictator. It's the only way.

I am having a breakdown moment right now. I am... literally feeeling like I will vomit. THIS COULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

THIS COULD not BE HAPPENING.

NO.

NO.

NO.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

I’m going to back Kamala of course 100%, but I do not have any faith in the majority of the American electorate electing a black woman as president. This is reeks of Hillary 2016 all over again. 

They crucified him. CRUCIFIED this man. 

Welp.
