        Old people are notorious for making their way to the polls. Attacking Trumps age must be done carefully as the wrong statement will make grandpa and grandma run to vote for trump.

            Most people that are old enough to be offended and would vote for the rapist with 34 felonies are already voting for the shit stain.

              I promise you you’re the exception for people your age. No one I know over 50 has heard of Lemmy.

              And also, if old people are so sensitive to attacks on old age why wasn’t Biden leading in the polls?? That’s been the main attack on him for years, and people have said much worse about him than what is said about trump in this thread. If people suddenly clutch their pearls when it’s Trump being mocked for being senile, they were a Trump supporter to begin with.

    The laugh. I FUCKING KNEW it. They are so predictable. They did the same thing with Hillary, too, BTW. It’s almost as if they hate women.

    Republicans have to have known that running against Harris was a possibility from the instant someone as old as Biden picked her for VP.

    This is what they came up between then and now. They’re flailing because they either have nothing or have no idea what they can get to stick.

      Kamala has notoriously been one of the most invisible VPs in recent memory. I actually think that could work in her favor. What in her record from the last 4 years is even attackable? She can campaign on all of Biden’s wins as his VP, but all of her negatives are from before she was VP and are well known by now. She won’t lose voters over those things at this point.

        Her bad stints as VP are mostly thing Democrats might complain about but pretty much knew were impossible. She got saddled with voting rights and the border, but without any power to even try to do anything. It was just to keep Biden away from the no-win issues.

          She could say, they got a bipartisan bill across the finish line and Trump killed it because he wanted to run on it. There’s her border counter.

        I agree. Biden had downward momentum. Harris does not. Him leaving the race disrupts what Republicans were doing.

        There was this thing where Biden put her in charge of some border stuff, she flew to South America to tell people not to come. I’m sure they’ll attack her using that, but nobody really cares.

          But…unlike Biden, she would have the presence of mind to remind people that there was a border solution, negotiated by James Lankford of Oklahoma, who’s as hard right as they come, THAT TRUMP CAUSED TO BE KILLED BEFORE IT GOT TO THE HOUSE!

          It’s literally Trumps fault that the border isn’t secured right now. That bill had everything needed and was a literal wish list for Republicans on border security!

          They killed it so they would have something to hammer on about. Fucking shameless fucks.

    I’m surprised they aren’t saying she’s a slut like most of the Trump supporters are on Twitter right now. This is what Democrats need… A candidate that brings out the worst in the Republican party. They should “leak” that AOC is a top VP choice.

      Oh, there was a poster on Denver Post that kept calling her “heels-up Harris” back around 2020, and for as long as DP still had comments. They’d take down a lot of comments (for instance, mine - they even suspended my account for weeks for using the original name for what the “tea party” called themselves - the teabaggers), but then let disgusting comments like that stay, including threats of violence. And still, the right wing trolls would claim Denver Post was liberal, FFS.

      Anyway, yes, they’ve been claiming she slept her way to the top for a very long time now. It will be nothing new. Meanwhile, their Qbert can be caught giving a guy a handy in a public theater, while vaping and surrounded by children, and say nothing. Obviously Kamala’s a Democrat, so must be a slut, but Qbert is a Godly Xtian Upstanding Freedom Bible Lady.

    I really could not care less about how a person laughs. I’m more concerned about what a person laughs at. Has Trump ever laughed at anything that didn’t involve either his own good luck or someone else’s misfortune?

    I love it when ad hominem attacks start up… Means A) they’re scared, B) they don’t have anything else, and/or C) they’re too dumb and uncreative to attack anything of substance

    I’m sure people would like a convicted felon with a wife who immigrated mostly to get citizenship. A person who responds to school shootings with suggestions to arm teachers, but also advocated for taking away guns. A person who brought in supreme court justices that ruled away freedom and privacy rights and the rule of law for everyone. A person who also gave away to corporations billions and billions but a paltry $1000 cheque to families in the hardest of times. Unless God was a self-serving narcissist I don’t see any qualities God would approve of in Trump.

    All of the above is much better than someone who laughs.
