I was fully on the side of Biden staying in the race and I have never been a Kamala fan, but I was wrong. This is exactly what we need right now. This might be the end of civilized society as we know it, but at least the new 97 days are going to be fun as hell. We have a candidate who is ready to scrap and has the goods to back it up.

dishing out some sweet... Harrisment

“As president I will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump killed, and I will sign it into law and show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like,” she added.

She assassinates better than that false flag ear boy.

That's a BAD idea, though. That's a BAD bill that they literally designed to be Trumpian in a (successful) effort to prove that the GOP wouldn't even accept what they asked for if it gives a win to Democrats.

Show him and the rest of the American Fascist Party up by bringing a BETTER bill.

One that actually fixes some of the REAL problems at the border such as the threadbare immigration courts and all the laws making legal immigration so onerous that illegal immigration is inevitable.

Its a bad bill that is good to campaign on. Fox and the ilk have ramped the border up to be a huge issue when it isn't. Its almost the only weapon the GOP has, so hammering on the fact that dems had agreed to the most GOP loved, restrictive border bill in 25 years and Trump publicly and loudly killed it is a fantastic tool to use.

Not really, no. The vast majority of undecided voters aren't right wing people trying to decide between the parties, but left wing people trying to decide if voting is worth the bother. It of course is, but not everyone is convinced.

Not really, no. The left doesn't want GOP loved border bills and the left is who she'll have to convince to turn out.

Reminding people who hate xenophobia that the Dems are writing xenophobic and counterproductive border bills is shooting herself in the foot.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

You have to be blind or stupid to think the Democratic party is against border tightening, all of the highest numbers of deportation in the last 30 years have been with Dems in office.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'm talking about left wing voters being against xenophobic and counterproductive immigration law.

Not the center right to right wing Democratic Party that's has maybe a dozen left wing candidates in all of Washington and is primarying almost all of them.

I know that THOSE fuckers love themselves some "tightening" 🙄

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world -1 points 2 months ago

There aren't that many left wing voters in the us, there would be if the vote existed in earnest but we all know if a socialist wins a socialist signs their death warrant the same day.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

There would be if the so-called left of center (actually center right to right wing) party would stop alienating the left into becoming nonvoters.

there would be if the vote existed

Wtf does that even mean?

we all know if a socialist wins a socialist signs their death warrant the same day.

First of all, nobody knows that. Because it's bullshit.

Second, the left is SO much more than just socialists. Your reductionism isn't cleverness and it isn't helpful.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

There would be yes, currently there aren't.

You just said it, people don't vote left because it's a throw away via, they view Dem against their best interest.

Yes yes, as we all know America loves a socialist, none have been g family jailed or murdered for being vocal socialists.....

Sure, but the two most main stream sects of the farthest left being socialism and communism so not exist in American politics.

[-] Moneo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Seriously. Who is asking the dems to become more right wing?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Their owner donors, probably. That plus their perpetual strategy of always chasing the new "middle" every time the GOP moves further right, regardless of the fact that "just left of a literal fascist party" is FAR right 🤦

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Huh? Underestimating centrists. Topics like this are for them, not leftists

Stoop kid's afraid to leave his stoop!

What? I'm guessing this is a reference....

[-] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Stoop Kid is a minor character from the late 90s, early 00s Nickelodeon show, Hey Arnold.

[-] Drusas@kbin.run 9 points 2 months ago

Ah yeah. I was just a touch too old for it by the time that came out.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I've been thinking this about this kid at the motel I'm at right now. Just sits on the outside stairs on his phone. Maybe for wifi or space, not my business. I just haven't seen him anywhere else

More on topic. The orange shit bag is super afraid, and it is fucking delicious. I was still going to vote, but I didn't expect to win. Now I actually think we have more than just a decent shot

[-] Num10ck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

maybe that kid is better off outside in the steps than dealing with whatever/whomever is in his motel room. maybe daddy is drunk and tirading on the phone and about to get violent again.. or maybe mommy has another rando friend over she's flirting with trying to score. 'stay where i can see you!' but out of the danger zone.

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

You have put way more thought into this than I have. It was a teenager, so probably just wanted to be left alone

[-] rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com 30 points 2 months ago

I feel like this is the kind of attitude many folks were hoping would come from Biden, and I feel like it will be so much better (worse for Trump?) coming from anyone who is not a white man.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

He wont answer that. He cant.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

He was a city kid who bullied everyone that walked by his house. Everyone was afraid of him til some kids realized he was actually agoraphobic, and was too scared to chase people/leave his stoop.

The bully became the bullied.

[-] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Stoop Kid is redeemed though.
