he has lost a lot of us as customers forever. many will never ever buy a tesla, and many will never use twitter again.LOL -- for me, a Tesla might as well be a red baseball cap.

Eff that guy.I'm absolutely certain that they're just getting started with the misogynistic comments about Harris. The most off-putting thing, to me, is seeing women who engage in that behavior themselves -- you know, "DEI candidate," "she was just handed the job," "has she even done anything?" I think these are the same women who, in 2016, brushed off the "Access Hollywood" tape and stories of sexual assault with "Oh, that's just how men are! Lighten up!" and wore shirts that said "I'd let T---p grab my p---y." I was raised in a time/place where that attitude was prevalent, and I just shudder thinking about what I was told to just "relax!" and laugh off.Anyway. I'm sad to see Joe step back, but I was reminded again tonight that it's the right thing for him to do.

A terrific speech by president Biden. To think otherwise would be blind, foolish, or simply just stirring dust. It was a great speech from a great president. One of the best in my life time- and I've live through a bunch of them.

Up until this past Saturday, Joe insisted he was staying in the race for the presidency.
So, why did he end his campaign so suddenly?
There can only be two reasons:
Either the heads of the Democrat party could see that Joe was going to lose terribly to President Trump and demanded he end his campaign or
Joe's cognitive decline was now so severe and obvious that they could no longer pretend to not see it.
Joe, his family, and those who worked with him on a daily basis obviously knew of his mental condition and they have all put our country in great peril.
A weak leader makes for a weak country and our enemies around the world can see it.
While we have great sympathy, and empathy, for those suffering from cognitive decline, when an individual and his family puts their ego and personal wants above the safety of a nation, it becomes a selfish act.
If Joe Biden is not fit for running a presidential campaign, he is certainly not fit for the presidency and should resign immediately.

He didn’t save democracy. He was strong armed out by Pelosi, Clooney, Obama and the billionaire donor elite. Why, because polls showed he couldn’t win and the millions stopped flowing to the DNC. And once they sacked Biden, the $$$ flowed like wine. Record setting amounts.
Democrats spit in the face of democracy and shit on 15 million primary voters. All while calling themselves saviors.At the very least, have an open convention. Pick the best candidate. They went with Kamala, not someone who can win, but someone who hopefully wont lose that bad. Maybe get enough voters out to save a seat or 2 in the Senate so they can stop Trumps agenda.0 -

What are you on about? "He didn't save democracy"? That's....not how democracy works.
Presidential primaries bind delegates to vote for a particular candidate. Candidates can release their delegates, which happens all the time.
The Democratic National Convention nominates the party's presidential candidate, which hasn't happened yet. It's Aug. 19-22 in Chicago.
Biden’s decision to endorse Harris is not a binding one, Party rules don’t allow Biden to simply select a successor.

When LBJ's support collapsed in 1968, he exited his re-election campaign. Truman did the same in 1952. When Richard Nixon lost the R senators, he resigned the presidency. This is the appropriate and NOT unprecedented action.0 -
