The content of Trump and Vance’s rhetoric is what spotlights it as weird. It didn’t need our help, although it is satisfying to point it out and call it what it is.
How satisfying is it that the race is no longer the media constantly haranguing that “old man too old”, and now Kamala can just stand back and point and say “that’s odd”?
I’m so relieved that this election is finally able to pivot and be about how uniquely unqualified Trump is, and how very fucking weird he and Vance are. If you’re looking for the side that’s not aligned with American values, it’s the felon and his eyeliner-clad sidekick.
denormalization is … honestly refreshing.
Crush him! Crush him!
She’s only the underdog because of how much her current boss fucked everything up, though.
As for “people powered”, that’s only true if you consider billionaires and corporations people.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d vastly prefer her to the fascist shit show alternative, but let’s not lie about where her funding actually comes from.
Also, let’s not declare her the next FDR based on a few successful PR stunts and pretty speeches that say nothing about what she’s actually going to DO once she’s hopefully beat the Mango Mussolini in a historic landslide.
What would you consider 170,000 volunteers if not people?
arguably billionaires and corporations are still people-powered
Technically but not really. Both are powered by a pathological addiction to hoarding as much money as possible, with little to no regard for anything else.
I meant that both only exist due to the labor of individuals. without the workforce, billionaires and corporations would not exist
Ah ok, on THAT we agree 100%

Yes but you’re not so clever to deduce that. Everybody who doesn’t swallow every word politicians use can figure that part out. What would be interesting is if you decide that a politician lying is the reason you’re gonna vote for the other guy. Then I would question the “I don’t even hate her” part.

As opposed to Russia powered.

if you think i’m “rich people”, you must have a truly wretched and pathetic life. Have you tried perhaps touching grass?

Your unreasonable anger on the internet argues there’s a better place for you on the red team.

You’re not smart enough to read the room. I’ll do it for you: nobody here gives a shit about your angry white man opinions.

You probably should not talk about others being intellectually beneath you while also not, apparently, knowing how to capitalize I.
Does growing as a person include insulting strangers over the internet?
Small donations add up and are a huge help to a political campaign. Even Trump relies on them despite having massive corporate donors.
As a complete outsider, not living in the US but with family there, it does feel like people are more excited about her than they’ve been for any US politician in a good while. Maybe not people powered but there’s definitely more positivity overall compared to Joe as candidate.

Fair, the wording of “people powered” probably isn’t really accurate, more like “people really seem to like her and there’s positive, growing support among the public”. As you said though, in the end it feels like politicians just end up following corporate money’s orders.
Kamala has a swell of positive public opinion that I hope she can ride to the presidency. I just hope she doesn’t squander all that good will later on.
I mean, I think waaaaay more than anything people are just excited for literally anything other than a 9000 year old dude. That sucks in general but on top of that the only two flavors of wrinkly old dude we got was senile grandpa or pathological liar mega asshole. I think at this point people would get pretty hyped about a three legged goat running for president.
Not shitting on Kamala, I am starting to like her more and more and wish her the best for sure but I’d take literally just about anything at this point.
Clearly never had a senile grandpa. Biden is more of a man at his age than you will ever be at your peak lmfao. Like you won’t even accomplish 10% of what he did for this ungrateful country.

When is “a good while”? People were excited for Obama and look what that guy ended up doing
Yeah, that’s about when. Heck, I know a lot of people who are still really into Obama. Not sure about the general sentiment in the US but just about every person I know not living in the US still think of him as the best US president, except for the rare Trumper. I think he generally did a good job of charming the international scene despite everything
Okay, so what is the “common man” clamoring for?

I think the hardest thing for peeps like you to grok is how little you actually bring to the table
Let’s see what great wisdom you have to bestow on us.
Haha yeah sure, sure… people powered. Rich people maybe lol.
Well, that was disappointing.
My brother in Christ, you know we can all see your profile and read your comments right? I don’t have to scroll a page and a half to find you using a seven year old meme and replacing one word with “poo”. Using “boring” to describe you would be generous.

You literally refused to name a different candidate. You just said the “common man” doesn’t want her. You are bringing nothing to the candidate.
People wanted Biden to step down.
