She's got plenty of time to turn it around. A 100 days is a long time for an election cycle in most countries and that's enough time to change the minds of a nation. Trump's team have generally attacked her for not being the smartest or most competent but honestly that's the weakest attack line they have given who they're putting up.
On the other hand, a part of me thinks they're setting her up to fail and focus on 2028 now.
Mirth i think setting her up to fail would have been pushing biden to stay on the ticket, accepting the loss, and then she has no standing to claim the nomination in 2028. or, no one coming out and endorsing her now and forcing her to try and win people over at the convention. the opposite actually happened, nearly everyone came out and supported her immediately, including most of the other strong candidates for president, and then the progressive caucus and the black caucus. they all could have sat on the sidelines until the convention, but them jumping in to immediately support her seems more genuine than not.
trump out here complaining like a karen.
such a whiny baby. perfect candidate for all the fake alphas out there.
mdgoonah41 don't discount the republicans shooting their own dicks off as well. at the end of the day, normies generally won't get off the couch to vote for the monster mash
Yeah, this is her biggest chance, given that it's against Trump. $81 million already apparently fundraised in one day.
But agree with the other comments, this is going to keep entrenching the Democratic elites (obama, pelosi, etc) controlling everything...They brought us Biden and now took him away lol
lmao
chapeaux 
Iām actually amazed at the turn around for Democratic Party support. So far it feels like people are staying true to their āanyone younger than Bidenā stance. Part of my surprise is that āyoungerā is generally code for āprogressiveā and Kamala certainly isnāt that.
Iām not sure if sheās just riding a high, or got some string PR/training, but her tone in recent media appearances has been spot on. Sheās actually nailed a balance between snark/sass (shots at Trump) and seriousness (to appeal to suburban/centrist voters).
Itāll be interesting to see what demographics she over indexes with, and if those are represented in swing states. VP choice now seems to hinge on what swing states the Dema feel are most winnable - Kelly for AZ/Nevada vs Shapiro for the Midwest/rust belt.
MistaT itās a good confluence of events. For several months everyone was complaining about choosing between Biden and Trump. And then Dems really fell out of Biden but he dug his feet long enough that it was both fractious for the party and delayed a decision until the electionās eve. So now everyone is focused on getting over the line. And it helps that sheās a candidate without a massive recent national track record, so she can brand herself quite freely.
I think she will do it
the stunning thing is just how sharp her messaging has been since she got the nomination. during her campaign in 2020, her messaging was terrible, her tone was awful, and she was just flailing around. now, she seems to pretty on point with her messaging and attacks and is much more focused. her record still isnt great (i also dont think its awful but she is a cop) but if she can focus less on herself and more on attacking trump and vance with clear, concise talking points, it can go a long way. shes gotten a big bounce in the polls (compared to where biden was), but that will level off in the next few weeks. what she does to keep pushing that momentum will be key
here is a great example. nothing fancy, just a direct attack in a few sentences and its a quote tweet of a video of trump yesterday saying that this is the last time his supporters will need to vote, he'll take care of it so they dont have to vote anymore. really easy stuff here, no need to come up with a complex platform or strategy, just let trump make errors and then dunk on him.
how are you going to say some shit like this and your wife ends up looking like the embarrassment?
i guess if i was married to such a weak pathetic woman i would fuck a couch too.
priming his base for stop the steal 2.0. people who wrote off the big lie and jan 6th as a bunch of uncoordinated yahoos will soon realise that was only the trial run. they have been working to install cronies at the state level for the last 4 years to ensure any checks and balances can be steamrolles this time around. his VP is on record as saying he wouldnt have certified 2020 if he were in pences position. his base has been radicalised to the point that they will feel justified in intimidating people at polling places. they know their positions are unpopular to a majority of the US, but they won't abandon those positions. they'll abandon the democratic process instead.
Conventional wisdom would suggest that Vance seems like a missed opportunity for the Republicans. They should have gone for a middle of the road conservative to strengthen their hand in swing states and amongst undecided voters but instead they've doubled down on another lunatic like Trump which is an ominous sign of what lies ahead incase they do win.
Seems odd to me that Vance is Theilās guy.
Surely thereās someone smarter and more put together that Theil could have bought.
Mirth the thing is, there really arent any "middle of the road conservatives" left.
people like susan collins and lisa murkowski are basically republicans in name only. anyone to their right has been maga-pilled at this point and gone completely off the rails. vance is from ohio and people thought he could appeal to younger voters, but now that people are digging in on him, they are realizing hes a freak too.
in 2024 you are either a never trumper or youve been full on maga-pilled, there is no in between
