I’m not gonna pretend that I love Harris, but this does make me energized enough to try and convince others to vote for her.
I think the hard part is going to be getting Trump to agree to debate her, but she should be able to kick his ass and hit him hard on the issues that matter for this election, as opposed to doddling on a stage arguing about golf.
I just looked up some of her positions and she does seem a bit more progressive than Biden was. She cosponsored Bernie’s medicare for all bill a few years ago and supports marijuana legalization.
I think this whole mess could actually be a net positive for democrats as it reinvigorates enthusiasm (“hope and change”, version 2024)
Every single one of you assholes who wouldn’t shut up about him stepping down since the dude missed the toilet bowl fifty years ago after a particularly wild night out better sure as fuck step up now that Old Joe has stepped down.
A sitting god damned President of the United States has stepped aside less than half a year before reelection. Make no mistake: The man swallowed his pride and ego HARD to make this decision. Let’s honor that by creating a wall of votes so god. damned. thick. Riley Reid would gasp.
Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what sealed the deal for him.
I mean the deadlines are closing and having to fight to even stay in the race while president of the U.S. and recovering from an illness is not something anyone looks forward to.
Frankly I hope he can catch a break for a bit, and enjoy a pension after all this is over.
He came out and said multiple times that he wasn’t going anywhere
This was always going to be one of those things where “despite saying 8 hours ago that he was committed to the election and was not going to drop out, he has now dropped out”. You’re never going to see someone in these situations say “eh might drop out, not sure”
Am one of those “assholes”. Kamala was far from my favorite candidate in 2020, but I just donated a hefty (for me) chunk of change and will be volunteering. I didn’t need perfection, just a feasible path to victory in November and now we have it. I’m so pumped right now, project 2025 no longer looks like an inevitability. LFG!
I will vote for whoever the Dems put up, as I would have voted for BIden. It’s fantastic that he stepped down, cause he is clearly unfit to serve. He should probably step down from the Presidency right now, asshole.
Hundreds of dollars? That must be nice. If I have to be Medivaced to a hospital I’m looking at a charge of around $10k. I’ve often purchased separate insurance from the 2 companies that provide that service in my state (Alaska) when I know I’ll be doing risky things in remote areas.
That’s right, I have to buy 2 separate policies, because I won’t get to choose which one picks me up, as it’s a matter of who’s available and even if I had a choice between them, I could be incapacitated so couldn’t make my wishes known.
Fortunately the insurance is around $150/year for each, so not crazy expensive, but still not what I’d like to be spending that money on
This just shows that both political parties in ameria are insane. The dems just gift Trump the office. They deserve the 2nd Trump term. Just sad for the rest of the world that doesnt deserve it.
This is where Biden remaining president to finish his term is strategically wise. It provides a plausible layer of separation between Harris and Gaza. She can go against Biden and make criticisms – and Biden for his part would need to express disagreement with her.
