Of course that retard watches Hasan. Of course.

He's defended him from people criticizing or mocking him. But let Jeff and Hasan enjoy supporting a genocide-mad cop for a day, GOOD VIBES REMEMBER! We don't want Gameboy Nostalgia to try and find that hookup knife.

I'm looking for an electric vehicle the next time I buy a car. It will not be a Tesla. Two or three years ago, it probably would have been a Tesla.

That was my wife and I a little over two years ago. We bought 2. Once we are done with them, we are looking elsewhere.

Ain't never seen no shit like this.

How is Awkwafina better and more authentic at AAVE than them.

I guess being in a panic is "energizing". 

THE PEOPLE ARE UNITED, EVERYONE ON MY HEAVILY CURIATED FEED (1.6 million account block list) IS CELEBRATING AND POSTING MEMES, TRUMP'S REICHTAG FIRE HAS BEEN REVERSED, GOD BLESS AMERICA

Being fair, I think this is better than doomposting for perpetuity.

So you put more effort in your FFXIV character than you in real life.  

Only following gender stereotypes when is convenient for you to get what you want.

We'll be able to tell exactly how strong the powers that be of the Dem party think Kamala is by her VP pick.

If the Dems really think she has a chance of winning, Kamala will have her pick of '28 front-runners; candidates such as Whitmer or Shapiro.

If the Dems think Kamala is going to lose, her VP pick will be a nobody or an also-ran who has no chance of being president right now like Amy Klobuchar.

Hard to find worse shit intellectually: I identify as this thing I consider completely meaningless and if you don't agree with this absolute nonsense you want me dead.

If you're still denying capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy, remember that they never prosecuted the MAGA Country guys who tried to lynch Jussie.

And this is just grassroots. This is before/not including the big money donors who I'm sure we'll see drop cash soon.

Just realized they're talking about creating a second campaign to get around donation limits for the donors who would have already maxed out even though this technically should be the Biden campaign renamed. #RulesForThee

Well… at least she didn’t delete it.

But the most important money is in the accounts held by the Biden-Harris campaign committee: $96 million as of June 30. That money has been raised by the Biden-Harris ticket, and belongs to the Biden-Harris ticket. The only people whom that money follows are, you guessed it, Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris.

So if Ms. Harris were to be officially nominated (with a new No. 2), her new ticket would probably not have much interruption financially. She would most likely have immediate access to the $96 million or so in cash on hand

...

If someone other than Ms. Harris were to lead the ticket, the Biden-Harris campaign could certainly transfer that $96 million to a federal super PAC, which could spend it on advertising for the new Democratic ticket.

That would be less than ideal, because money at an outside group cannot be controlled directly by the campaign, and super PACs have to pay higher rates for advertising time. But the money would not go to total waste.

There is, however, an alternative way for a new, non-Harris presidential candidate to benefit from the money in the campaign account, one that savvy Democrats would almost certainly explore.

When Michael R. Bloomberg withdrew from the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race, his campaign account had $18 million or so left over. He was eventually able to transfer all of that money directly to the Democratic National Committee.

That $18 million well exceeded the contribution limits for individual donors, and Mr. Bloomberg’s transfer was controversial because his presidential campaign was almost entirely self-funded.

While federal campaigns can send leftover money to whatever group they want in unlimited amounts, critics argued that Mr. Bloomberg’s transfer had essentially allowed someone to avoid contribution limits by (briefly) running for president. Campaign-finance watchdogs cried foul, but the Federal Election Commission last year effectively blessed the move.

That precedent could be instructive here. Perhaps the Democrats would try to transfer that $96 million directly to the D.N.C. — making for a cash-flush party committee that could make up for the fact that an entirely new candidate’s campaign would start at pretty close to $0.

Bold new direction for the party that argued the state should be allowed to imprison you for criticizing a politician in an election year and that the government should be able to ban books about politicians.

But democrats are always good guys burdened by their own morality and decency.

Hence why we all need to use our money and connections to get to Bahia and begin taking a carrot, leaving a carrot.

Ok now that Genocide Joe is gone, what stage of the genocide are we up to now? I know that FUCKING TERF BITCH is still around pulling the strings in the Labour party, but is it now safe to leave my room to watch Despicable Me 4 for the 5th time or do I have to expedite my asylum request to Bahia?

It's not because of this specific video but what she says at the start of this. We were all getting coconut-pilled a few weeks ago ironically and now it's unironic cop-love.

I genuinely don't think we realized just how much we wanted Harris until she became an actual option. She's the people's nominee now.

I just googled Kamala and.. she's.. 59? I thought she was my age (mid-thirties) lmao

MDCrabCakeFan86 making sure everybody keeps up to date in that thread about obscure Maryland Democrats talking about this.

[Besticus Maximus]

I think there is something in the idea that they didn't realise they wanted Harris until it became a fact. Which speaks to their own idiocy because she was always a strong option to run against Donald Trump, she didn't get a chance because the likes of them were wrapped up in their own single issue nonsense.

[benji]

let's vote tomorrow. it's fine

There's still like 80 million of these cockroaches walking around. Let's surround them first.

Also, even if Harris couldn't personally do it, they spent how many months demanding nobody run against the guy they wound up hating and calling Genocide Joe.

There's a weird American political paranoia, especially among Democrats, that challenging a presumptive nominee causes you to lose when it's actually far more likely that a strong challenge is because the candidate is weak.

-McCarthy/RFK challenging LBJ, who knew he'd lose. Then the challenge against Humphrey's coronation irrationally scarred Democrats forever even though Humphrey came back against Nixon and nearly won despite sacrificing the South to Wallace.
-Reagan challenging Ford, then Ford came back against Carter.
-Kennedy challenging Carter (too late), then Carter came back against Reagan.
-Buchanan challenging H. W. Bush, then Bush got derailed more by Perot dropping out, endorsing Clinton, then getting back in the race and targeting Bush.
-Obama challenging Clinton and Edwards, which is usually ignored because Obama polled well but those other two had essentially half the D vote going in. Nobody knew at the time that the Clinton campaign literally didn't bother to find out how delegates were awarded and that Edwards was cheating on his dying wife and paying his baby momma with campaign funds.
-All of the 2012 Republican primaries, which the Romney people decided to ignore and delude themselves into expecting an landslide.
-Bernie challenging Clinton, who then ignored the states she had trouble against Bernie in convinced they were locked in for her against Trump because they were idiots yet again.

The lack of challenge just puts off the reckoning until election day, Biden found a way out of it by copying LBJ*. I absolutely think you can make a case that clearing the field for Gore in 2000 and Trump in 2020 hid the problems for them. Trump only benefited this time from candidates who could have harmed him had he not been indicted, he showed his general election strength by eventually brushing off the challengers. Biden didn't benefit from an ostrich campaign, same as Trump didn't four years ago.

*Harris may thread the needle better than Humphrey because nobody actually gives a shit about Palestine.

Ahhh ok, I thought they were saying she’s a coconut but it makes sense now.

I guess that’s further down the line when she leans into her whiteness (seeing as how they already claim she ain’t black)

Speaking of second campaigns...after banning all the 'top' non-Mod posters in OT1, they decided to move onto an OT2 with a new patsy:

They didn’t realize they wanted it because they weren’t told to. If Newsom or Hillary were pushed, you’d get “I genuinely don't think we realized just how much we wanted ____ until ___ became an actual option. ___ the people's nominee now.” People were Kaine-heads in 2016, for Mayor Pete’s sake.
