Now their candidate is the old fuck and is a felon who's fighting against a black woman (!) that used to send felons to jail.

Of course they are pissed! As they should be!

I absolutely can't WAIT for the next debate.

and Trump can't chicken out without looking like a Chump...

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He will chicken out. He'll pull some excuse about unfair rules or a biased moderator that will be completely and utterly transparent to everyone except his base.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

It's transparent to his base too. It's not that they don't see the lies, it's that they don't care.

To Republicans, winning matters more than playing by the rules. This isn't some gentlemanly game of chess. It's a knife fight. The future of their country hangs in the balance, and the only thing that matters is being the people who steer the ship. If you have to lie cheat and steal to get there, so be it.

The Dems need to wake the fuck up and start doing the same.

Nice, I didn't pay attention this weekend and this is the first I'm hearing Biden stepped down.

Great way to start a Monday at least

Harris is not confirmed, by the way, just a presumptive nominee. The Democratic Party is gathering behind her as it stands.

[–] Plopp@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

In other words: it's Kamala Harris.

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The Democratic National Convention’s rules committee are also set to meet on Wednesday to discuss the process for picking a new candidate.

I imagine they won't just push her forward, but who knows.
