    A week out, we now see the brilliance of Biden dropping out on a Sunday afternoon, after all the Sunday morning shows had broadcast their stories: his vice president has now had an entire week to reframe & reset the entire narrative of the campaign ahead of the convention…

    Pete Buttigieg on Fox News Sunday on the New York Times’ gripes about Kamala Harris: “The idea that somebody hasn’t been tested or vetted when they have been vice president of the United States for nearly four years just doesn’t make any sense.” https://t.co/c0WjNOlCUh

    I think Republicans underestimate how many Americans are tired of the negativity. That’s why Harris’s candidacy of joy and pro-democracy competence is such an effective contrast against Trump and Vance’s weird, dark, vindictive authoritarianism. The choice has never been clearer.

    Even as most media accept the idea that Trump doesn’t support a national abortion ban, he’s telling right-wing media this week abt his plan to impose one. GOP trifecta and we cld have a national ban by next spring. https://t.co/dVdKWuqAiX

    A great thing about VP Harris running is that republicans and trump are so intractable in their hatred of women they can’t mount a campaign against her that isn’t the most vile misogynistic tripe.

    & young people seeing them for who they are- incel women haters- is perfect

    Democratic voters aren’t supposed to be excited about their nominee. They’re supposed to either be unhappy, indifferent or keeping a poker face about it. Excitement is only for MAGA about Donald Trump. This is a news media rule and white leftist command.

    BREAKING:

    Team Harris says it has raised $200 million just since President Biden’s endorsement last Sunday.

    Of that amount, 66% came from first-time donors.

    They want him to step down so they can go after her.

    The press can’t touch VP Harris & he set it up that way. https://t.co/UKKyzWBooA

    You need to see this, but don’t yell out “HELL YEAH!” and wake your sleeping wife like I did.

    “There are women in this country who are sick and tired of mediocre men like Donald Trump failing up because of their daddy’s money. And then they’re going to come on here and talk about women? Enough! That goes across racial lines.

    Let Trump and MAGA keep this up. Women are looking at this and saying, ‘Enough is enough is enough’. We’re going to save democracy. I’m telling you right now. Keep it up, MAGA.”

    I know we’re still in the honeymoon phase, but the more Harris looks like a movement and the Trump campaign looks like a trainwreck, the more I hope our voter protection and legal teams are getting ready. Because voter purges and lawsuits after the results come in are on the way.

    This is so interesting to see…

    How senior Democratic voters are responding to Kamala Harris replacing Biden as the nominee — these folks are reliable voters.

    So old dude didn’t say “colored” cause we all heard that wrong I guess and other dude said “no more voting” but he didn’t mean it apparently.

    Do y’all see how whiteness and the patriarchy works now?

    And how it goes hand-in-hand?

    I don’t know what Trump was trying to say with his no more voting line. He is a moronic inarticulate narcissist.

    I do know what he’s done. And based on that, if he can get away with it- he would become a dictator. Anyone who doubts Trump is capable of trying is just stupid.

    White dudes in academia love jerking off to their own devil’s advocate nonsense because they’re all convinced they see/understand something in a special way no one else possibly could.

    The egos of these types ignoring women and minority voices is a big part of how we got here.

    As a Howard grad, I knew about our alum #KamalaHarris. I remember at one alumni club meeting talking about how her star was on the rise.
