Summary
Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.
Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.
Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.
It’s honestly unreal that Trump is even in the race, let alone in a position to pull off a possible win. After everything that has happened. I try to keep a positive spirit in general, but it’s not easy to be optimistic on behalf of the US right now.
It’s not unreal at all. I don’t understand why time after time people underestimate what monsters the average American is.
Well, now that it looks like Trump is actually going to pull it off, we’re all in for a world of fun over the next four years. We might actually discover just how monstrous things will get.
Four years? You’re awfully optimistic that he’ll ever leave if given power again.
Death

Then it just goes to someone as shitty, but likely much smarter
Sometimes cults die with their leader sometimes they don’t. JD has no charisma and pedo-supporters don’t even like him (they prefer child rapists to couch fuckers). Time will tell.
Oh, I agree. I think the amount of energy lost, when Trump dies, will be a huge blow to the MAGA movement. Will it be a coup de grace? I fucking hope so. However, if they get their project 2025 governmental structure into place, I think it will be hard to dethrone the GOP, even without Trump. I also believe that is the true hope behind that platform. They know their cult of personality is on a timer, so they are hoping to get things set-up, where they still have complete control, regardless of how motivated the cult is.
Its a historic win for accelerationists I guess. Viva la revolution.
Sometimes I wonder if the centrists are crypto-accelerationists, because they always run to the center for nonexistent votes like clockwork, and predictably always lose.
America is a fascist country and fascist leadership remains popular among enfranchised residents.
I think the dnc feared a desantis candidate more than they did a trump.
Harris will be the lightning rod for democract anger, but the DNC are ultimately the ones to blame for allowing the first convicted president.
