Haha yeah sure, sure… people powered. Rich people maybe lol. The common man ain’t out there clamorin for the VP to get hand-selected by the DNC.
SHIT i don’t even hate her or anything. But people powered… Hahahaha! I’m to old to fall for that shit.
As a complete outsider, not living in the US but with family there, it does feel like people are more excited about her than they’ve been for any US politician in a good while. Maybe not people powered but there’s definitely more positivity overall compared to Joe as candidate.
I mean, I think waaaaay more than anything people are just excited for literally anything other than a 9000 year old dude. That sucks in general but on top of that the only two flavors of wrinkly old dude we got was senile grandpa or pathological liar mega asshole. I think at this point people would get pretty hyped about a three legged goat running for president.
Not shitting on Kamala, I am starting to like her more and more and wish her the best for sure but I’d take literally just about anything at this point.
Clearly never had a senile grandpa. Biden is more of a man at his age than you will ever be at your peak lmfao. Like you won’t even accomplish 10% of what he did for this ungrateful country.
When is “a good while”? People were excited for Obama and look what that guy ended up doing
Yeah, that’s about when. Heck, I know a lot of people who are still really into Obama. Not sure about the general sentiment in the US but just about every person I know not living in the US still think of him as the best US president, except for the rare Trumper. I think he generally did a good job of charming the international scene despite everything
It’s true what you say, at least as far as a regular yankee can say. They’re was palpable relief when joe stepped down. I never thought it would happen but I’m glad it did, cuz harris has the chops Biden doesn’t and i hope she wins.
But I’m not gonna forget the experience I’ve gained in my 30 odd years following politics as a hobby… “People-powered” implies we folks in the dirt are driving her campaign when of course it’s large corporate donors who are providing her the required money and will be deciding her platform.
I ain’t saying anything surprising or controversial. I’m not teaching anyone anything new here. I just capital H Hate pandering and ill call it out every time.
Guess that ruffled some feathers this morning. Ahhhh oh well
Fair, the wording of “people powered” probably isn’t really accurate, more like “people really seem to like her and there’s positive, growing support among the public”. As you said though, in the end it feels like politicians just end up following corporate money’s orders.
Kamala has a swell of positive public opinion that I hope she can ride to the presidency. I just hope she doesn’t squander all that good will later on.
Yes but you’re not so clever to deduce that. Everybody who doesn’t swallow every word politicians use can figure that part out. What would be interesting is if you decide that a politician lying is the reason you’re gonna vote for the other guy. Then I would question the “I don’t even hate her” part.
“What would be interesting” is if i got to be a fly on the wall the moment you learned the limits of your intellect. Proud of it, yes? You like to show it off? Is that what your comment to me is?
(I know you’re smart enough to understand that question was rhetorical)
Where your logic breaks down here: it’s predicated on the premise that i have a motive beyond the words i spoke and the message i sent.
But i was speaking in frustration, much like you. There’s no motive, sherlock.
Now please. Take that genius and apply it somewhere useful.
Your unreasonable anger on the internet argues there’s a better place for you on the red team.
No thanks, friend. I’ve had such a fine, fine morning eating i couldn’t possibly take another bite.
So you and me will play later.
