Oh hell yes. I want more Kamala cackling at the idea of imprisoning POCjokermala

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

She can't stop herself from cackling before answering a question and the questions are currently about dead babies from US bombs.

This liberal clearly hasn't thought this through.

Kamala is actually the diversity hire the right wing screams about. Biden announced in a debate with Bernie that he would have a black female VP and that’s exactly what he did.

The last thing she did that liberals burst their nuts over was “excuse me, Mr. Vice-president. I’m speaking.” And that was four years ago.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

imagine telling a guy to his face that he's an unassailable racist and then kowtowing to him like a month later. deeply embarrassing person.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

It was a debate haha ahaha ha

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

Actually, I do think there might actually be some appeal if they brought out Kamala more and used her weirdness to cancel out Trump being more entertaining than Biden.

What's that sound?

Bah gawd it's

vibes among voters

2024 year of the vibe

also she sbould be the vibe-president, not the vice-president.

[–] JealousCactus@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

If Joe Biden dies after falling out of a coconut tree, I'll be convinced we're in a simulation.

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

let her cook power-stride

At the risk of seeming pro-Harris (I'm not), they definitely are/were.

They should have spent 4 years preparing to make her president. Or failing that just a better Vice-President. Yes she is weird and also likely benzo addicted. But you can smooth that out, you Pygmalion/King's Speech her. Get in the best stylists, vocal coaches, speech writer etc. Give her lots of PR softball wins to make her seem good.

Biden's brain is rotting day by day, he is getting worse. There's a chance Harris could get better. For Dems winning of course, not any meaningful change politically.

Plus if she was running for President you could find a strong appearing white male Vice-President to back her up (like they did Obama with Biden)

I think that was the plan from the beginning, but she's too much of an unlikeable and mercurial freakbomb. there have been multiple stories of "shakeups" on her staff seeming to point to her being atrocious to people who aren't sycophants.

I think they were imagining one term for Joe and that she could be groomed to step in, but that dream died hard and now the party is stuck in a corner, trying to keep Joe animated until they can find someone with better likeability numbers than "a fresh turd you just slipped on"

[–] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah it seems like Klobuchar would have been the much better option for the Dems, had she not been directly linked to Derek Chauvin being able to kill George Floyd from acquitting him on a previous abuse of power he had done. She was probably equally megalomaniacal and strange in her own way, but you got the impression she ran a tight ship.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

hell no Klobuchar is scary and even less likeable, at least Kamala kind of has a personality. remember when she gave that story about killing a duck, or how she threw staplers at staffers? she's like pete buttigieg but even less charisma

[–] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I must stress when I say better, I'm not saying that she's morally better, or not a complete sociopath. But just saying for the Dems it might be better for them (winning and staying in power for multiple elections) to have an ambitious duck killer waiting in the wings whose ready to put a pillow on Joe's face and assume the presidency than Kamala.

But then again the Dems love to eat shit so this is probably fine for them.

[–] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Klobuchar? The fucking salad haircomb person?

[–] ComradePlatypus@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah the hair salad comb person who also posted feet as bait. I'm not saying she was good, normal or even a decent candidate, just probably better than Harris for the dems.

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Wait she posted feet pics? ... Were they any good?

Like going into the 2024 you could be like we're the party of the future, the Republicans are stuck in the past with their old loser. You could also distance her from anything Joe Biden does badly (like Palestine) and share credit with him for things like the inflation reduction act.

I feel she could be used to really connect to the xanax abuser crowd

[–] milk_thief@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Vibes among voters suggest the president is losing Black Americans.

M'lord, perhaps thou mayest consider the opinion of the peasantry, one sayeth the vibes are bad
