I don’t how even DNC ghouls don’t realize she’s a charisma void. She always looks uncomfortable on camera, laughs at weird times, everything she says comes off super scripted (probably because it was scripted by a commit of DNC ghouls).
You think the DNC could find a normie neoliberal who at least had some personality, I mean fuck you guys managed to find Obama, there has to be another Obama out there.
At this point the only way to understand how the DNC weirdos work is to imagine that the Habsburg family had maintained power while enthusiastically inbreeding over the last 300 years and continue to stridently believe that they are attractive and likable.
They don’t want another Obama, he made a slight lip service to doing good things instead of bad things, which is too extreme for the DNC.
They know they just don’t care. Their goal isn’t to win elections.
i dont think all of them know. i think a lot of them are anticommunists so hard that they’re structurally incapable of seeing what’s happening. like, i dont think most of them are cackling behind closed doors, saying “haha, now is the time of fascism, unleash the beast, make the working class pay! class solidarity above even the needs of the empire!”
they’re still effective at countering any actual leftward shift, so they’re still a capable organization. but i think the rank and file really dont see that they look like they’re trying to lose elections. the behavior is just built into the party.
My turn on the lathe
Trump loopholes the 22nd amendment to run for a third term. Barfsack OCrumbo runs for a third term under the same loophole.
Trump beats Obama
Thank you for coming to my ted talk
Obama would trounce Trump. Kamala was uniquely uncharismatic and the VP of an extremely unpopular, dementia-riddled, enthusiastically genocidal president while loudly proclaiming that she was not going to do anything different if she were elected. Obama is a charismatic guy and he’s smart enough to lie about doing things differently. He’s also a man, which helps. I feel like people overestimate Trump’s popularity because he narrowly beat two of the worst candidates of all time. Hillary Clinton is uniquely reviled and Kamala Harris is completely incompetent. Trump would’ve lost against 2020 Biden and he would get absolutely stomped by Obama, an actually popular Democrat.
Even Harris would’ve probably won, despite her awful policies and political instincts, had any of the following things been true:
-
No ongoing genocide in Gaza
-
Biden drops out earlier and lets her run a full campaign without sabotaging her
-
Kamala is either male and/or white
-
The Harris campaign doesn’t muzzle Tim Walz
This is not to excuse Harris in any way, the point is just that Trump is unpopular and any milquetoast neoliberal centrist could probably beat him. It’s just that his opponents so far have been a man with his brain leaking out of his ears, an unelected emergency backup on Xanax and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
this is the hard hitting 100% correct truth juice i keep coming back to hexbear for
There really was a lot of positive energy when she picked Walz. He did kinda shit himself in the debate with Vance but Vance was pretty bad too. I actually think if they let Walz be Walz and also promised to end the genocide in Gaza, Kamala would have won. But I think she was really threatened by Walz taking over the spotlight more than anything, so they shut him up quick.
I cannot fathom though, why she clung so closely to Biden. Reading those clips from her book, she sounded like she basically let him bully her around. My best guess is that she’s really that spineless, but also her and most high level dems genuinely refused to believe that Biden was as unpopular as he was. Crossing him would have made her more popular, even with Dem voters.
There was a lot of positive energy during the few days that they were letting Waltz actually speak his mind. Then the Democrat consultant vampires got to him, and they focus tested all his opinions into oblivion. His debate performance was a reflection of that–they had gotten him to shift to the “they go low, we go high (and also everything is going great in America)” conciliatory language they love, and he looked like a fucking idiot being nice to Vance. It’s astounding that they keep listening to the exact same “strategists” who repeatedly lose elections for them.

Kamala would have won if she lied and said she would give Americans a bigger stimulus check than trump did.
Besides Hillary lost not due to the popular vote but due to the electoral system.
Yeah, just goes to show that people don’t like Trump if even fkn Hillary got more votes.
Hillary got a boost from the browbeating of more leftists Americans by libs, which is like the common tactic now. But still Trump was never that popular, especially not with the working class which continues to be disenfranchised, subaltern in case of the reservations and newer colonial territories or entirely “checked out”.
tbh if Trump ran against Hillary now ,Hillary would lose the popular vote too ,the American populace has changed
Counterpoint: obama losing to trump would be the funniest outcome possible
Obama is insanely out of touch at this point.
If I may borrow a lesson from a particular thought-leader: we exist within the context of all that came before us. Obama was the charismatic guy after 8 years of Bush. He was the guy who gave capital everything it could have wanted during a historical financial crisis while also doing the PR for the bailouts. He also handed the medical insurance industry a huge win while pushing the US to produce record amounts of oil during the inflection of climate change.
The world is now different. I am not so sure his tricks could work again. Mainly because his tricks have led to resentment and political reorganization that would oppose him at every turn. He’s simply not smart enough to reinvent himself to fit this moment. People shit on Bush and gave Obama a lot of credit for being clever but he’s not really any better. His best role in the current era is reality TV and being a guy who makes phone calls. He’s a reverse Trump.
That’s precisely what I mean. We live in the aftermath of Obama’s broken promises, Occupy Wall Street crackdowns, and saying things like “If I was a republican, I’d be a reaganite”. Folks don’t want that. He would also face very tough questions about being absent during these turbulent times.

Lathe overdrive: he will be dem candidate. Donald Trump (D) vs Elon musk ®
Obama beats Trump.
Supreme Court rules in 6-3 decision that it’s illegal for Obama to have a third term, but it is legal for Trump, because “Fuck you, that’s why”. Trump is president.
trump already had a third term because he won in 2020

Obama would win against Trump imo
100%
If the Democratic Primary ends up being Kamala vs Biden vs Hillary, it will be the best primary ever.
How to lower election turnout by 25 million with one easy trick
Primary? Don’t think they do those anymore.
Yeah I think the cabal is electing Gavin Newsom this go-round
please, we call it the star chamber now
They dont, the DNC installed her like a monarchy, then they want to talk about No Kings
She should! HRC too! Let’s just go down in the biggest fireball possible.
Kamala with Hillary as VP so they both can loose against Trump in 2028 again.
One of them should go third party, just fuck that shit up fam.
There will be a certain person mad at the people who voted for the Democratic candidate for spoiling Third Party Hillary.
Clinton with Harris as VP because Harris has extremely VP energy
Harris does give off first place loser vibes
They (and libs) will then go on to blame their failure on misogyny
I’m riding with Biden 2028 sorry
Damn right I’m voting for Hunter
The only candidate that can beat Trump.
I think you mean bAIden2028.
Listen, jack. I don’t know how many rs are in strawberry. Eat lead and uhhhhhhh
I’m sorry as a Large Cornpop Model my hairy legs ask why whY wHY WHY WHY!!
Please don’t Kamala. You contributed in no small part to the genocide in Gaza, had no plan for sweeping change to Campaign Finance Laws, caved to Anti-Immigration sentiments on the right, played footsie with Cheney, not to mention all that shit with catering to cops while you were a lawyer, and…
Look, we have short attention spans sure, but we also can look up your track record and it’s not looking too good. Go fucking home Kamala, it’s better than you deserve.
EDIT: wording.
She needs to fuck off
Removed by mod
Ronald Regan had plenty of friends who died of aids.
And lest we forget Roy Cohen, friend and mentor of Donald trump.
President Magic Johnson
A clown and a John, all the same.

I want no more Presidents 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
America can use
as President
CW for slurs, please.
i feel the calling
I didn’t think USA was doing the election thing again?
Now that they’ve realized the Trump administration isn’t doing anything to actually target them personally and instead focusing on people with actual moral convictions and a backbone, like Pro-Palestine protestors or, god forbid, actual fucking leftists, and also other targeted minorities like Hispanics and trans people(whom they also don’t care for), they can feign collective amnesia over their “Trump is going to remove elections!” fearmongering and continue batting for the blue fascist like they usually do.
Not for like 3 more years no, but you better believe we won’t shut up about it until then
Most important of our lives, I’m told. And if you can chip in $2.70, it will something something revolution, something something “my good friend” Joe Biden. Corn Pops.
The redistricting vote rigging they’re doing implies there will be some kind of farcical election where we all pretend our votes count.
She’s a great candidate and I loved what she said about the coconut trees, but I’m voting for the cancer in Biden’s prostate this time
good luck winning your home state in the primaries lol
please no i can’t take this anymore
The 5,000 vote presidential election can happen within our lifetime
YAAAS QUEEN! It certainly won’t be embarrassing a second time.
*third time
Why the fuck would the DNC do that?
Oh right, they’re fucking morons.
Had me in the first half.
Die.
