Man, I'm so happy with the way this is going so far. I sure hope she wins the election.

I hope Republicans get absolutely crushed to the point that it becomes clear catering to the extremists and conspiracy theorists is not tenable. Then they have 4 years to try to rebuild from the ashes and try to present a reasonable platform instead of something insane.

For sure, though I said the same thing in 2020 and was disappointed at how close it was. Really a terrible reflection on the country.

Agreed, and wow, you can really sense the working cognitive function, I have to admit. Especially when only one of the candidates has it now.

Urgh, articles about tweets.

“So think of it: They get me to that position, and then their campaign says, ‘I’m the prosecutor, and he is the convicted felon.’ That’s their campaign,” Trump said. “I don’t think people are going to buy it.”

"We approve this message"

That's it. Don't reward a newssite for this shit.

[-] flerp@lemm.ee 72 points 1 month ago

I'd rather more people rewarded the news site for it then rewarding twitter by going there directly

Eh, it was pretty funny though. And it's a complete character change from Biden's campaign.

Amazing. I respect Joe Biden and think he had a pretty good term overall, but stuff like this shows just what's been lacking.

On a related note, please let Trump be dumb enough to accept a debate with Kamala.

[-] Sunroc@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

Old Biden is too civil for Trump in general.

[-] dirthawker0@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

He comes from the era when politicians were civil to each other even if they vehemently disagreed. Well before Newt Gingrich started characterizing Democrats as evil.

It's obvious, she is the better candidate. And most Americans are aware of it to. I just hope, they go to the pols when the time comes.

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 42 points 1 month ago

The problem is getting voters in swing states who don't like Trump to the polls. If all of them voted, he'd be utterly destroyed.

[-] xenoclast@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

Historically if Americans vote, Republicans lose. That's why they work so hard to get people to not vote.

They just need this team to keep hitting the Trump campaign quickly all day, everyday. He pretty much can't stop embarrassing himself.

She's bringing a lot of very needed fire.

[-] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 58 points 1 month ago

I'm not complaining but I'm genuinely wondering if the dnc has been holding this woman back. I feel like I haven't seen this fire coming from her before and I'm loving it.

Leaning into the "she's a cop" thing, which, fine, might as well.

[-] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 65 points 1 month ago

Back the blue might have a double meaning now.

[-] batmaniam@lemmy.world 37 points 1 month ago

Lol, my neighbor across the way put one of those up in 2020, we chit chat so while watering the garden I said "man I wasn't going to vote, but because of your sign yeah, go Biden". I mean I was... But anyway he took down the sign lol.

Wild what you can do when your entire campaign isn't proving you aren't dead.

[-] EnderWiggin@lemmy.world 45 points 1 month ago

What a fucking troll. I love it.

Chef's kiss.

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

Hire a bunch of god tier TikTok meme shorts creators, and just start churning out shorts ridiculing him.

[-] Xanis@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Her and the team need to go hard and fast. She's not charisma 101, though she has some. Her real strength is her ability to disseminate and spread information as someone whose career was to become an expert on any information presented, when used alongside existing resources. What does this mean?

She will continue to tarnish Trump's image in the eyes of all the doubtful while increasing her own standing across the board with the exception of the staunch Republican and MAGA supporters. This means hop in the truck and proceed at ramming speed. Every single historically idiotic thing Trump has said. Every piece of racism his team puts out. All the sexism and all the calls to violence against certain groups. Call them out. We can all agree that bipartisanship was the game for a long time, back when the Republicans still had some spine and integrity left here and there. What the Nation needs right now is exactly what she can almost uniquely bring, and we are seeing what I suspect is just the beginning of this little war.
