        I mean, it would be on brand for the Dems. They’ve already forgiven all his war crimes and atrocious presidency.

          Wow fuck all those people! She hugged someone!

          They are so bad! You make such a point! She’s so shitty because of that photo! [BRANDED!]

          Dare we say “mission accomplished” despite the fact that it’s totally off and has nothing to to do with anything? How far off the point is necessary?

          How many photos do you need to keep up the appearance of being so far off?

            Why Do Democrats Keep Embracing George W. Bush?

            Lest we forget, Bush was an incredibly divisive president. He brought the country together for a fleeting moment after 9/11—then promptly frittered away all that goodwill by trusting his stupid gut and going his own way. He won reelection by slandering his war-hero opponent and stoking conservative fears about gay marriage. His line about being “a uniter, not a divider” was a long-standing joke. And his successor—who, for better and often for worse, seemed to genuinely believe in the ideal of national unity—rode a wave of anti-Bush fervor into the White House.

    I only watched Harris’s speech.

    The good:

    I was impressed by her oratory skills. I remember her doing well in the debates in 2020, but I didn’t know she could deliver a speech like that.

    The biographical stuff was good. (And necessary. She has a complicated backstory, and despite being VP, Americans barely know much about her.) I see we’re still avoiding any mention of Canada, but that’s probably for the best.

    She looked like a president up there.

    The bad:

    I was put off by the jingoism. I guess Democrats are war hawks now. That’s where we are in 2024.

    Between all the “defend Israel” and “stop Iran”, I was not filled with any confidence that she’ll rein in Netanyahu on Gaza.

    If Biden is doing such a good job, and things are going good… why is Harris talking about changing everything on Day 1? I don’t get it… they’re in power now, and yet, everything is STILL Trump’s fault…
