Gotta love someone posting a social media statement from a well known white supremacist.

^^^ Uncanny, isn't it?

I tend to believe that he's the reincarnation of Goebbels. Goebbels had a deformed leg and was in poor health yet screeched on and on about the "master race." Miller is a Belarusian Jew who is xenophobic and apparently completely oblivious to twentieth-century history (the "master race" thought little better of Slavs than they did of Jews). It's really something.

I don't understand why I always hear that she's so damn liberal. Wasn't she a "tough on crime" pro-cop prosecutor at some point? Isn't not being liberal enough part of what sunk her in the primaries a few years ago?

I suppose the going right-wing line is how far left the Dems have gone, which is based on nothing as far as I can tell. Then again, I'm expected to believe the Elon Musk who voted for Obama has stayed the same and it's the party that's shifted...

Her “liberal-ness” stems from her staunch advocacy of abortion rights and by extension, women’s rights, advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community and her prioritizing of prosecuting domestic and child abusers. All of which is a threat to the JD Byryders of the world but specifically to the incel, misogynistic and “traditional family values” portion of the populace.

There's a twisted part of me that's going to enjoy the full implementation of Project 2025 as people realize what we've done and that there's no going back.

Oh, and I forgot her conviction rate for gun crimes. You know, the ones repubs claim they want prosecuted because they’re the “responsible” gun owners and the gun crimes are committed by the “other.” 

I also look forward to the shit show of Project 2025 being implemented and folks waking up to it in 2027 and 2028 when they realize they were had. Although, for some, that realization will never happen. They’ll still be blaming Hillary and Barack.

The end of the USA as we knew it is just around the corner.

Funny they still want to focus on Biden

Fear of losing to VP Harris is palpable

Well there goes all hope for making recreational cannabis federally legal…unless she feels differently but I’m guessing she doesn’t.  

Good.  People have abused this in the cities and they smell like shit.  Ban pot cigs and only approve gummies/ingestibles.

I never thought id be sick of smelling joints.

I hate the smell. The social libertarian in me thinks it should be legal...and I do. But I would benefit from the smokable becoming far less prevalent. I live in St. Paul and go for lengthy bike rides. Most areas near population or sizeable parks smell of it with frequency.

I’ve realized something. When the Trump-supporting Republicans on here perceive strength from Democrats, they show up more often, speak with more venom, and call everyone names. The petty and childish arguments are clear signs of fear. 

I also don’t feel that many or any of these posters have engaged in any semblance of respectful or dignified or genuine discussion, and so I hope they aren’t surprised when no one really cares what they have to say about how Democrats should or shouldn’t behave. They have no standards for their own side, and their words about how Democrats should govern themselves aren’t worth paying any attention to.

Exactly why I have put some people here on ignore.  If they wanted to discuss in a genuine and civil manner, I would be happy to engage.  But the stream of memes, and attempts to merely instigate, bate, and talk nonsense is not worth anyone's time- certainly not mine!  The more they are ignored, the more likely they are to go find some other hobby or whatever it is they get out doing what they do here.

As a liberal (barely anymore), I'm not sure we are living in the same reality.  I've been here for a loooong time, I just don't care to post very often. The extreme left on here viciously attacks anyone who disagrees with them, often employing Ad Hominem and Strawman attacks, if not outright personal attacks. Don't tell me no...I see it on a weekly basis.  And it's happened to me as well, even though I'm not playing for the other team.  Not sure I can blame you all though, you have been enabled.  Conservatives break the rules, they are banned. Liberals break the rules, thread gets locked and a 2 week suspension, then you're back.  What is that saying you all like to employ? "rules for thee, but not for me."

Then I assume you were here in 2016 when tons of people got banned, both conservative and liberal. Other than that, not sure what you are referencing when you say liberals get 2 weeks and cons get banned. The cons I have seen get banned had it coming after several timeouts, but maybe you should PM one of the mods if you think the treatment is unfair.

Oh please...I have a hard time when adults can't take someone disagreeing with them. We can learn from each other you know?

KAMALA HARRIS

Kamala Harris' presidential campaign raises nearly $50 million since Biden endorsement

Biden suspended his re-election campaign Sunday afternoon

Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign has raised nearly $50 million in grassroots donations since President Biden suspended his re-election bid and endorsed her, Fox News Digital has learned. 

"Since the President endorsed Vice President Harris yesterday afternoon, everyday Americans have given $49.6 million in grassroots donations to her campaign," the Harris campaign told Fox News Digital.

The campaign told Fox News Digital that the figure represents grassroots donations raised across "all entities, including ActBlue." 

Harris announced her presidential campaign Sunday afternoon just after Biden announced he would drop out of the 2024 race, amid pressure from within the Democratic Party.

The unprecedented announcement came as an increasing number of Democrat lawmakers had begun to publicly call for Biden to step aside and the party's leadership reportedly was engaged in efforts to convince Biden, 81, he could not win in November's general election against former President Trump, the 2024 GOP nominee who Biden defeated four years ago to win the White House.

Biden quickly offered his "full support and endorsement" for Harris to take over as the party's presidential nominee.

"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president," Biden wrote in a public letter. "While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interests of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term."

Biden said he will formally address the nation later this week about his decision. 

In a social media post, Biden backed Harris to take over as the party's standard-bearer.

"My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this," Biden wrote.

The president's endorsement could dissuade any serious completion from other Democrats who may have mulled a bid for the presidential nomination and could clear a path for the vice president to succeed Biden as the party's nominee.

Harris has already gained endorsements from more than half a dozen governors, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul; along with more than 178 Democratic lawmakers in the House and Senate. 

Harris, in a statement about two hours after Biden's announcement, said she is "honored to have the President’s endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination."

"Over the past year, I have traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead," she added. "I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party—and unite our nation—to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda."

The vice president praised her boss, thanking Biden "for his extraordinary leadership as President of the United States and for his decades of service to our country. His remarkable legacy of accomplishment is unmatched in modern American history, surpassing the legacy of many Presidents who have served two terms in office."

A source familiar told Fox News that Biden and Harris spoke multiple times on Sunday ahead of the president's stunning announcement.

Biden's endorsement of Harris was quickly followed by two top party elders, former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State and former Sen. Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee.

"We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her."

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, one of the Biden campaign’s biggest donors, also quickly endorsed Harris.

Former President Obama, however, has not yet endorsed her, and is instead backing a process where an "outstanding" nominee can emerge. 

"We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges," the former president wrote in a letter.

Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama were among the scores of top Democrats praising Biden for putting the nation and the party over personal ambitions.

"Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded — again — that he’s a patriot of the highest order." the Obamas wrote.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer have not yet endorsed Harris. 

As for the fundraising haul in a short period of time, by comparison, the Trump campaign announced that they brought in nearly $53 million through their online digital fundraising platform in the first 24 hours after the former president was convicted in New York v. Trump in May. 

Meanwhile, the Biden campaign recently reported $91 million cash-on-hand, and when allied Democratic Party committees are including, the number rises to $240 million. Since both Biden and Harris' names were on the president's campaign, Harris has immediate access to the $91 million that was collected for their ticket’s reelection effort--in addition to the grassroots fundraising of $50 million since Sunday afternoon.

I do wonder if any big names will come out against tRump closer to the election.

Basically his entire White House staff and cabinet opposes him. I hope we hear from all of them.

it is just like the gop telling women how to run their body. they have to always tell other people how to run their home, and tell the dems how to run their party. if they won't regulate their own party and regulate their own crazies they can fuck all the way off. 

i think a pretty good rule of thumb for these people should be "if it's not your body/party/family, then it's not your concern."
