July 15, 20241 yr This is the guy who called Trump "America's Hitler" :lol: He does have some pretty worrying views on abortion, immigration, the usual for extreme Republicans... God, It's awfully depressing that Trump is pretty much locked in to the presidency.
July 15, 20241 yr This is the guy who called Trump "America's Hitler" :lol: Yeah but he meant it as a compliment. ~ In seriousness, Vance's conversion from the Never Trumper he was in 2016 is just an indication of what a spineless Peter Thiel graduate he is - he adds absolutely nothing to the ticket that Trump is lacking, and because he entirely sways with the prevailing winds in the Republican Party he won't do what Pence did and be a check to Trump when he goes against democratic norms. Main point of potential instability is that he is absolutely not the person you want thrust into the limelight when a coronary heart attack hits the Oval Office.
July 15, 20241 yr Depressing that Trump's running mate is one that went straight to blaming the Democrats for Trump's shooting (when we didn't even know anything about it, let alone that he's a registered Republican), thus inciting the possibility for more violence. Equally depressing that this pretty much means all of Trump's legal cases are gonna be put on the backburner and probably pardoned by himself. I've already resigned myself to him winning. Roll on November I guess x
July 18, 2024Jul 18 The pressure on Biden seems to be reaching an impossible to ignore amount now. Don't think he's going to last until the end of his self-isolation period (as leader that is).
July 18, 2024Jul 18 Its sad, I was hoping the pressure on Biden would ease after the attempted assassination of Trump; Biden made a good speech for 'the temperature to be taken down'. Maybe they should swap the Democrat ticket around: Kamala Harris for President, Joe Biden for Vice President.

July 18, 2024Jul 18 Kamala now favourite to be the nominee by the odds but I really don’t know, it’ll be a big decision that could backfire and the Dems are clearly split but polling is not good for Biden at this current time
July 18, 2024Jul 18 Polling's not good for Kamala either. Plud she only got 2% last primary season. 2%.
July 19, 2024Jul 19 Polling's not good for Kamala either. Plud she only got 2% last primary season. 2%. Yeah that’s the problem she is polling better vs trump right now but she has never been that popular and it could change quickly
July 19, 2024Jul 19 Although she has become a Gen Z icon so I'm hoping the Gen Z will be out voting in droves x 2JWR29RT5sw
July 19, 2024Jul 19 Michelle Obama seems like the only sensible option if they can get the funding to work.
July 19, 2024Jul 19 Michelle Obama seems like the only sensible option if they can get the funding to work. Michelle Obama is the only person who could comfortably beat Trump, I feel Harris would do better than the polls suggest but dunno, I think she’d struggle to win over the older voters and even older Democrats. Her nomination would swing the narrative back to new vs old but I just don’t know how you compete with Trumpism in this everything is fake apart from their own narrative that they push.
July 19, 2024Jul 19 I haven't following the campaign very much, are they only able to choose between Biden & Trump or can someone else come in?
July 19, 2024Jul 19 Terrible 2 party fpyp system, which are the least democratic outside of actual dictatorships and fske elections, so nope. That's it.
July 19, 2024Jul 19 I haven't following the campaign very much, are they only able to choose between Biden & Trump or can someone else come in? Trump is now confirmed but Biden can still be replaced as the Dems don’t seal the nomination for another few weeks yet  On Michelle Obama everything from her has always indicated she doesn’t have any desire to hold such a role so don’t see that as a realistic option
July 21, 2024Jul 21 Genuinely, thank the f***ing lord - even we knew this was coming for about a week it's a bit of a shock to know it's absolutely happening Now we just wait for Kamala's announcement and Operation Coconut Tree is a go go
