Kamala can in no way beat Trump. Despite that, every single one of my lib friends is ecstatic that Biden is gone (as if Kamala is miraculously better somehow). Kamala is a pawn of wall-street and an enemy to any POC. As a reminder, Kamala Is Not Your Friend

Are we really going to have to revisit 2016 and watch the libs shocked-pikachu when she loses?

My brain is melting; watching all of these stupid kamala-coconut-tree memes

Please send your comforting thoughts and prayers, comrades boohoo

    Liberals so desperately want a woman president that they scrape the bottom of the barrel to find the worst one possible.

    I don't care what they are so long as they're a communist

    To me, Biden seemed certain to lose, while with Kamala it could go either way. In no way is she a worse candidate than Biden. I think we should all be deeply invested in Kamala winning the election. Not because I want to see Trump lose, though I do. Not because I want to see Kamala win, which I don't really. What I want, what I think we all want, is to see Hillary Clinton looking on as another woman becomes the first woman president. Not just that, I want to see Kamala win easily, just to make it clear to Hillary that she, personally, was the problem in 2016. No one thinks Kamala is an impressive candidate, so if her mediocre ass beats Trump with a comfortable margin, it'll more or less settle the argument as to who was responsible for Trump's victory.

    To be clear, I haven't lost sight of the fact that a Harris presidency would basically just be the Biden presidency with more awkward laughter. We're not going to get a good president this time around, or maybe ever. I'm aware that I'm doing something similar to the republican rank-and-file who know their candidates won't do anything to help them, but will at least make the people they don't like suffer. We should all be protesting, agitating, and organizing for something better, but with the understanding that organizing is almost certainly not getting us a better candidate this cycle, let's try and find joy where we can. In this case, in schadenfreude.

    You are free to just check out and come back when Trump wins, if you aren't interested in climbing the ludicrously steep cliff of US third party organizing against the warmongers. You can do whatever you want. You can easily talk over people who bring this shit up about Kazakhstan if you're good enough at segueing. Segue harder. Segue your way out of this.

    I don't say this to go to bat for Kamala, but like, I think she absolutely has better odds of winning the election than Biden.

    Like, so much electoralism is 'vibes'. People have pointed to her polling worse than Biden as some 'gotcha' over her being a weaker candidate, but like, if she's only polling a point or two worse that Biden, despite not campaigning or doing anything at all, that says a lot about how weak of a candidate Biden is/was.

    Not saying I expect Kamala to like, 'slay queen' or whatever the fuck, but like, if she can not be a zombie corpse on stage, she can earn some 'points' back.

    I guess we'll see; she is a weird alien in some ways, and maybe that will kill her vibes or w/e. (which, mocking her weird laugh is dumb, as dumb as mocking trump for 'lol he orange' instead of y'know, the fascism, but 'politicians not be weird' is definitely a bar the average voter cares about.)
