[SamAndreas]

Today it begins, Kamala has reached the point that she's the Democratic Party nominee:

There's video from today. this link has video from her first public appearance since Biden endorsed her:

She spent yesterday on the telephone for most of the day. I read that yesterday that she called the party leaders in all 50 states. That would take me three days.

She's renamed her YouTube channel, that's the where to go for video: https://www.youtube.com/@kamalaharris

This is her video on her channel from two hours ago:



To play it, start it, and then move it up to 5:47. This was one of those live videos which don't start at zero.

I've named this thread General Election 2024 Harris vs Trump

Trump needs an introduction post as well, a MAGA suporter ought to write it: @Farb, @SaintForLife , @Others, calling for someone to please introduce your GOP candidate for this 2024 general election thread.

 

[Incumbent]

They can’t use the usual insults.

Tim Burchett (R-TN) called Harris a DEI hire. We’ll hear that a lot over the next few months.

 

[MT15]

Oh, I think some of the MAGA politicians will be dumb enough to say what every MAGA on the internet is saying eventually.

MOD EDIT: Remember to add member context to all media items,

 

[MT15]

Sarah Longwell favors Shapiro from a strategic POV, and others have said he has great executive experience that Kelly may lack. I like Kelly best myself, but would be fine with either. Cooper and Walz wouldn’t be my favorites, and Whitmer just doubles the misogyny and hate, I would avoid her as well.

Pole nombers.



That's "spelling," an old conservative form of humor.

man, the dementia is hitting him hard.

 

[SaintForLife]

Yep, you know the "border czar" stuff is coming hard. I'm sure SFL and Farb will be running that talking point very soon. Trump referring to himself as a "fine and brilliant young man" was pretty funny, TBH.

It's such a low hanging fruit. Why wouldn't we bring attention to it?

 

[SaintForLife]

Why Eric Holder?

 

[Nebaghead]

Why Eric Holder?

I am going to assume its because his firm is probably a top firm in the US.

 

[SaintForLife]

That doesn't sound good.

Of that list, I’m leaning Shapiro. I prefer the younger candidates and setting the party up for the future (assuming other strengths). He fits electoral considerations, too. Whitmer also fits the mold but I agree with you.

That doesn't sound good.

It sounds like desperation on the part of Republicans.

 

[SaintForLife]

The best thing about going to a Harris rally is the availability of parking.

[Saint Jack]

The best thing about going to a Harris rally is the availability of parking.

It’s ALWAYS about the crowd size with Trump.
The MAGA crowd is always insecure.

When you can’t debate an issue, make a crowd size meme.

 

[SaintForLife]

I don't remember hearing about this when she ran

Kamala Harris’ A.G. Office Tried to Keep Inmates Locked Up for Cheap Labor

Lawyers for California also argued that allowing certain inmates to be paroled early would deplete a program that allowed prisons to fight wildfires.

This is what Republicans currently sound like.

=============
Trump Team here! When we said that Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden was too old to be president and should not be allowed to serve another term, we did not mean like this!

We meant he should not serve another term because he loses to Donald Trump. It just did not occur to us that he might be serious about the stakes of losing and want to put his country first! The thought of a man — especially one who had spent about eight decades on the planet — saying, “There are more important things than my ego” just never occurred to us.

So, Joe, come back! We didn’t mean it. You are so virile and tall and really, you’re barely four years older than Donald! Four years, that’s nothing! We’re sorry we tried to convince you it was an unbridgeable gulf that would allow us to coast to victory by saying things like, “Be reassured: Our candidate is four years younger than Joe Biden and has been so all his life, and we anticipate that trend will continue!”

You were super in that debate. We think you’re beautiful and you should stay in it until the bitter end, which probably won’t be bitter or an end! That’s just a figure of speech. The sweet beginning! Listen to Commander! He’s saying “Woof! I want four more years in the White House!” Don’t listen to Nancy Pelosi. She doesn’t know what’s best for the Democratic Party. She’s a woman! In four years, if you stay in the race, it will be illegal to listen to a woman!

Here's a chance to see Senator Kelly speak in an informal setting.

 

[SamAndreas]

Oh, I think some of the MAGA politicians will be dumb enough to say what every MAGA on the internet is saying eventually.

I think so, And I know what they've been saying about her off camera for the last four years.

Willie Brown will come up. That she slept her way to the top will come up. ect. ect. ect.

Nothing which will harm her as much as it harms the speaker who brings it up though.
