    "We know she lost overwhelmingly to a man with a pecan sized brain, and we know she did not win a single primary, but we feel she should be president anyway"

    Very serious political party and country

      One of the two political parties in this country is just a support group for millionaire neoliberal losers.

      Wait I just realized that's both parties.

    Why tho? A consolation presidency would be the most embarassing thing in the world.

    You know what? Do it. Unlimited embarassment on Harris and her team.

      Biden might actually do it then. Like he clearly hates her. Stepdown and make her pres for a week in a show of humiliation. He might just be petty enough. She's have to go stand next to trump while he is sworn in

    What would that symbolise? The President in Avignon or the world's saddest participation trophy? The country overwhelmingly decided that she in particular should not have power.

      Just one final fuck you to voters for the woman whose 2020 campaign did not survive 2019 and who did not have a primary election

      Also this would completely invalidate any meaning behind the actual first women president if that ever does actually somehow happen.

        Considering whoever it might be (for the US as its present state entity) would almost certainly be a ghoul, can't claim I'd feel sad about it (as a woman myself).

        In a similar vein as an Asian- seeing what Obama got up to (destroying black wealth, destroying Africa's most developed country etc) I've said before, hell, I'm glad there's been no Asian POTUS yet (I'm sure Klanmala would no doubt be used for some utterly vile shit with her tokenism used as a shitty imperial optics/gaslighting scheme)

    Plus it opens up a massive grift opportunity as the hogs rush to replace their #45-47 merch with #45-48

    Turning the first black south Asian female president into an * or footnote like “president for 30 days” would be insane lmao

      That's basically what the first woman prime minister is in Canada lmao. Mulroney had legendarily bad polling numbers so he retired right before the election, Campbell was PM from June to November and then the conservative party got annihilated in the election

        Australia’s first (and only) female PM was technically unelected, although she was in for quite a while longer (during which the opposition did straight up misogynist shit like the slogan “ditch the witch”)

    make me president for 30 days, I have some really exciting ideas I would like to try out. what was it that the supreme court ruled, immunity for the president or something? hold my fucking beer, I’ll get that overturned real quick

    edit: actually, I just remembered, since one of my first official acts would be for all members of the supreme court to be put on trial in front of a citizen’s court for crimes against humanity, I don’t think they’d be overturning anything anytime soon

    You know what, maybe they're right? I mean why shouldn't a person who won zero primaries and who wasn't elected get appointed to the role of president?

    If this happened it would be perfect agitation material. If there was any chance of clinging onto the falsehood of liberal "democracy" in the US, it would be permanently hamstrung by the act of them randomly appointing whoever they feel to the role president,

          I'm going with 5 but not due to a couch.

          Vance said after the first attempt on Trump that he drove straight home, loaded all his guns, and stood "like a sentry" at the door for hours.

          My money is on couch fucker shooting himself in the dick and bleeding out in his own home

    You gotta admit it would be funny for Trump's 47 merchandise to accidentally be Kamala merch
