Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trumpābut we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.
Donald Trump is in free-fall. ReadĀ this descriptionĀ from SundayāsĀ Washington PostĀ of how the GOP nominee spent last week: ā[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.ā
If you didnāt know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, TrumpĀ has calledĀ Kennedy the ādumbest memberā of the Kennedy family and a āradical left lunatic.ā KennedyĀ has calledTrump a āterrible human beingā and āprobably a sociopath.ā
How is the DNC this slow and clueless?
Youāre telling me that we could have been rid of him years ago if these dummies had just been parroting all of us making fun of him on social media?
How are these giant conventions with billions and billions behind them so dumb?
Because they assumed that the moral high ground would net them more voters than joining in the mud-slinging. āThey go low, we go highā is a quite noble sentiment that should appeal to decent people to vote for them, if for no other reason than to keep the rude man-child out of office. They hoped that even the apathetic non-voters would be moved to cast a vote against the Temper-Tantrump.
It didnāt work, as we know now, but I canāt fault them for remembering the times when class and dignity mattered and hoping to extend those times.
Harrisā team seems to have learned that lesson. Hereās to hoping this actually works better.
Because the establishment ones are old as fuck and refuse to learn. Judging from the recent dnc, theyāre letting young and progressive faces do some work which is fantastic. Maybe they learned, maybe Pelosi wants to focus on insider trading. Either way š¤·
Or so many of them died they canāt influence policy anymore.
I doubt it, but feinstein kicking the bucket did lower the average age in congress by about 100 years so thereās that.
Because their plan at the time was to allow (or assist) him to be propped up under the belief Clinton would then be a shoo-in. Which is a completely moronic strategy because if you lose youāre absolutely fucked.
They probably never want to actually keep him from being a candidate because it means their candidates just need to meet the barest of minimums to be viable.
