I still use the same gmail I made when I was 10, roughly 2005-ish.

Does Lemmy have a Rimjob Steve yet? Lmao
Really feels like Vance is being set up as the fall guy to blame when trump loses.
“If he had just picked someone else as VP, he would’ve won!” -conservatives in five months
At first, I was pissed that he didn’t bow out two months ago.
Now I have nothing but respect for the man. He realized when to step aside and let his partner take the reign, and did so with effective enough timing to throw a massive wrench into the republicans’ plans.
If Kamala wins, history will see him as the kind elder statesman who knew when to step aside for the good of the country.
As an Ohioan, this jackoff does not speak for all of us. If he truly did, he’d be missing six more teeth, and drinking the fourth of his state-mandated six tall boys per day.
Midtown Madness, holy fuck there’s a name I haven’t heard in like 20 years. Hell yeah.
Whitmer was my pick for prez, so having her endorse Kamala, as scripted as it likely is, is still a ringing recommendation in my book. Kamala 2024.
That’s a really good point. Perhaps I am thinking too defensively. If someone as progressively strong as her does run, it will give them the excuse to ramp up their attacks on her, but also ramp up our attacks on them.
True, but there’s also a VERY loud dissent against her on the right, which they would be happy to run with in their ads up to the election. The right - and the sponsors behind them (Russia, chiefly) - ate experts at loudly dispersing disinformation with their rhetoric (see: anti-vaxers, everything about trump, etc), and having AOC in the spotlight would give them a lot of ammo in the form of ThE rAdIcAl LiBeRaLs “talking over the executive office” etc. I just don’t trust that the milquetoast voting public wouldn’t buy into that loud rhetoric enough to not siphon more votes than they would gain. Unless that’s too pessimistic of me?
The American public isn’t yet ready for AOC in executive office, as great a she would be. Her time is yet to come.
What gives you the idea I didn’t?
Bernie hates the corporate establishment elites on the left a well as the right, and they knew the threat a Bernie presidency would be to them.
He tried but the establishment stopped his momentum short. I was one of his diehards in 16.
I like Whitmeyer, and I feel that a lot of former Bernie Bros have gotten behind her. I hope she gets the nomination, though I strongly doubt it will be anyone but Kamala.
That said, regardless of who it is, absolutely voting for them no matter what.
As much as I’d love to see it in my lifetime, no way she chooses a female VP. Way too risky.
That’s very true. I like the play of "more than a bit of chaos on both sides rather then stubbornly try and defy the headlines and possibly fail. As we see with Trump’s truth social post, whining about getting back the money spent campaigning against biden. They’re just as unprepared for this than the democrats.
Definitely should have happened 6 months ago, but better late than never - something about planting a tree.
This also robs the GOP of the hE’s ToO oLd argument, which is one of their only effective attacks.
Best chance to change the system is to get Biden in, then pressure a democrat-controlled govt to adopt change. Federalize first past the post, maximum age limits, limit lobbying. None of this has a chance of ever happening at all if the left cote is split and trump wins. If Biden wins, there’s at least a chance, however small.
Spoiler candidate dude, sorry. I really despise Biden and the two party system, but there’s zero choice here, it’s Biden or fascism.
The right won’t have a spoiler candidate siphoning votes in November, every state RNC is going to make damn sure of that.
The EXACT same thing has been happening with me and google captchas. I just switched to Proton VPn, and while I like it, the amount of capctchas I’ve had to poke through is ridiculous.
