Why? Don’t you enjoy the near constant anxiety…

Kamala will get crushed. The only states that matter are rust belt ga/fl/az. All of those places are more racist than you think.

u/somebob Jul 21 '24 edited Jul 21 '24

Is she though? Edit to add, how cool would it be to see Michelle and Kamala on one ticket?

62

u/zod16dc ☑️ Jul 21 '24

Is she though?

Not all and it is pretty obvious. I will do anything I can to prevent Trump from winning but we are being dealt a terrible deck with this change.

What’s wrong with Kamala? I keep seeing this take but no one explains why she’s not up to the job.

Edit: this was a genuine question, I’m not American but I do have eyeballs and I’ve noticed that whenever her name pops up, it’s immediately oh she’s unelectable, she won’t win but never why. So in the absence of an answer I’m just going to assume it’s yet another attempt at disenfranchising Black voters.

I’m not sure if it’s so much “she’s not up for the job” as “she’s a WOC so that turns off both the racists AND the misogynists.”

u/ButtWhispererer Jul 21 '24

She’s not the most progressive and has some track record of being a harsh GA. Tbh a lot like Joe. Uhhh she kinda bounced in the low 5%s in 2020 primaries.

I’m all in for Kamala, though.

I don’t think she can win. Kelly from az has stongest swing state voting, which is all that matters(basically)

11

u/girlsumps ☑️ Jul 21 '24

You’re envisioning a scenario where Arizona votes for Kelly as senator and Trump for president? Does that sound plausible because it doesn’t to me.

I just said that out loud to my boyfriend before reading your comment 😂 Micelle and Kamala would be an incredible duo!

u/thecrgm Jul 21 '24

Nobody really likes Kamala and she was horrible debating democrats. Bad candidate

The landslide was in the Electoral College, but the popular vote was very close.

5

u/DavidBowieEye Jul 21 '24

Richard Nixon had 43.4% of the vote. Hubert Humphrey had 42.7% of the vote. It was only a landslide in terms of the electoral vote count.

6

u/RisingToMediocrity Jul 21 '24

So it was a landslide in the only metric that matters?

13

u/HallucinogenicFish Jul 21 '24

Why would that make anyone feel any better? The Democrats lost that election.

Honestly if Bobby didn’t get shot in the head we probably wouldn’t be in the situation we’re in now.

I don’t disagree, but still. Pointing to that election as precedent isn’t giving me the warm fuzzies.

What does LeBron James have to do with this

5

u/Mervynhaspeaked Jul 21 '24

No it didn't, LBJ dropped out March 31st, much earlier than late july. Other candidates had already challenged him by that point and so they had time to have a proper campaign.

u/New_acc03 Jul 21 '24

Yeah, I don't want to witness "history in the making" anymore, I've seen enough. Give me boring stability with a glimmer of hope.

23

u/Worried_Actuator_336 Jul 21 '24

Right? Biden was supposed to be the "politics is boring it's ok to not let it consume all the attention" President.

Or the "he's sane and hires sane people so go play some video games, we got this" President.

I want the boring guy back already.

u/HallucinogenicFish Jul 21 '24

I was a history major in college. I love history. I read nonfiction history for fun.

Living through history fucking sucks. Stop the ride, I want to get off.

u/bee_sharp_ Jul 21 '24

💯. But the media doesn’t want that because clicks > democracy, so here we are.

u/Amazing-Concept1684 Jul 21 '24

I’ll never take the boring times for granted ever again.

u/TypicalHaikuResponse Jul 21 '24

Sure would be nice to live in some precedented times...

u/Whitecamry Jul 21 '24

You mean, like World War II?

Best we can do is more crazy shit this year. Who even knows what’s next…..
