U.S. Presidential Election

Obama not endorsed Harris

[FloopFiller]

Mark Kelly seems to be the popular choice for VP I’m seeing mentioned - former Astronaut and popular senator in Arizona.

 Go Kamala

Harris hasn't got it yet...does Obama want it decided at the DNC convention?

A black woman beating Trump would be so f**king good. Please make it happen.🙏

Owen Jones view on Biden

 

I'm a non-believer, but if Hell exists, that man would have a first class ticket there.

A monster who belongs in jail.

 

He seems to have given up any semblance of journalism in a quest for likes and retweets. Interestingly the US left seem to be coalescing around Harris.

[LJS]

Waiting for the conspiracy theories about Harris not being born in the USA.

[LJS]

I think this might get messy.

DNC is 4 weeks away yet, that would leave only 3 months before polling day and surely they can see that another month squabbling amongst themselves isn't going to help.

Donald Trump is the oldest nominee for POTUS in history…

maybe some think there should be more democratic legitimacy to Harris standing, maybe some would prefer a different candidate. Difficult to see anyone other than Harris at moment though, and as you say need to get on with it.

The recent meme-ification of Kamala might actually help get Gen Z to get out and vote for her. Great strategy

Stevie had to explain this to me too.

 

Paste the link > change the x.com to twitter.com > Cut the link and re-paste > change the rich text to plain text and it should work.

I get that and it's a reasonable argument although it didn't seem to bother the tories when we needed to change PM's all those times. 

 

Whichever way they go about it, they just need to stop the public internal arguments and let Biden turn the focus back on Trump.

It’s actually quite hilarious how little they seem to have on Kamala. She’s very much been in the background for Biden’s 4 years so hasn’t given them ammunition there, and her biggest downside seems to be that she was pretty tough on crime when she was a District Attorney, but Republicans whole thing is being tough on crime. So far, all they seem to have is that she’s a woman, of colour, and appears to laugh a lot…

 

Lots of stuff coming out about how Trump’s whole strategy has been to attack Biden specifically and now that he’s out, they’ve got f**k all. Apparently even JD Vance was chosen as VP because that were so sure they were gonna beat Biden that they didn’t even bother choosing a VP who could bring in undecided voters - they just went full MAGA loyalist instead thinking it wouldn’t matter.

Nice to feel a bit more optimistic, I had to keep avoiding the news with all the Trump/Vance coverage.

[FloopFiller]

Damn, they got her. It’s over

f**k sake, last one just seemed to sort itself out so I was hoping this one would too. 

[FloopFiller]

Don’t understand how to do it so f**k it

I sorted that one out for you.🤣 I think the trick is once you've changed it to twitter.com, you then have to either copy it, delete the original and re-paste or cut it and re-paste. When I do it on ios it tells me that it has been pasted as rich text or something with an option to change to plain text. When I do that it automatically embeds it.
