Cute. He thinks there will be an election.

[–] adarza 48 points 2 days ago (24 children)

there will be.

the republicants know that when turnout is high, they lose. society and reality lean to the left. that's why they do all the registration and voter suppression and put up as many obstacles as they can to access the ballot box.

there will need to be historic and unprecedented voter participation in every state and in every district to make up for all that right-wing maga bullshit that tries to keep people from being able to vote.

I honestly thought he was going to lose by an embarrassing landslide last time. I wasn't just hoping, I was convinced from here in Australia. Heck I even put $100 on Kamala, first time in my life betting on politics.

Strange times indeed.

Nah kamala is just super unlikable, dems shot themselves in the foot again. Instead of having an electing where dems could pick their fav candidate the dem establishment picked one of the most unpopular ones. But anyone will a brain cell can see kamala is the better choice over trump but still, americans lack commons sense

If they would've continued with Biden they would've shot themselves in both feet, maybe their arms as well. Think Kamala was considered a much bigger threat as well. We'll never know what would've happened if there was an internal election for candidacy, could create a rally behind the flag effect but also a lot of throwing mud against your ally causing part of the Dems not to vote in the election at all.

Yeah I agree biden was worse then kamala, but they needed to elect a candidate the democrat way not just pick their own corporate dem
