The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.
“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.
Well this has nothing to do with anything but I don’t think that pink suit looks good on her at all
Meh, I don’t think the comment matters. Fashion has always been a discussion topic. Remember Obama’s tan suit? Or all the criticisms on Trump’s ill fitting suits?
The problem is that we often overemphasize fashion when it comes to women over men. While I don’t believe this was intended as a sexist remark, it does underscore the inherent misogyny we view women in the public eye with. I don’t believe any malice was intended, this is a society problem and not an individual issue, at least in this cause, it’s still worth calling out none the less.
Please don’t run her. She won’t win. Don’t run him either, but get someone better than her. Run a progressive
Name a progressive who is throwing their hat in the ring who can win with no fundraising apparatus set up 4 months before the election.
I’ll wait.
A lot of first-time Trump voters came to him from Bernie. If the media wasn’t out to destroy him, his policies are extremely popular.
I don’t know about a lot.
If somebody can so easily flip back and forth between democratic socialism and fascism, they are likely an idiot, and I am not sure how many idiots actually supported Bernie. I suspect not as many as the other candidates ran.
Of your requirement is “already throwing their hat into the ring” then of course you’re not going to get any replies. No one is going to seriously contest the current president publicly at the moment.
Even if they had thrown their hat in the ring now, they still would have 4 months to out raise and outspend Trump without access to any of the money already raised.
Kamala is the only one with a chance.
Nice of her to show up finally.
Those points are only alarming to intelligent, sane people. The problem is there’s a cult of unintelligent, insane people in this country.
If the media focused on just this narrative half as much as the focus on Biden’s age, which is an issue, it might actually reach enough ears enough times that the not lost people might be swayed. There aren’t enough people and headlines referencing Trump’s felonies, rapes, and views to dictate. I saw a few headlines when it was said, and people just said, “same old Trump”. More people need to start speaking about it in the media as a serious matter. And literally continually refer to him as a rapist felon.
They just need a particularly ragebait-y conclusion to latch on to. Like the fact that the Constitution he wants to ‘terminate’ also includes all the amendments.
Including the second amendment.
The one that’s misquoted constantly by republican gun nuts.
The title nearly writes itself. “Trump wants to take away your Second Amendment gun rights!”
He has literally talked about bypassing the 2nd Amendment.
Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but** take the guns first, go through due process second**. - Donald Trump
This is an actual quote from a White House meeting discussing the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
People who already would vote Democrat need to be alarmed into making sure they vote their asses off
Well we can only vote once, though, legally
Some MAGAs got caught trying to vote twice last time
Yes we can only vote one time but we can also make sure our moms, dads, siblings, friends, mail carriers, etc all go out and vote as well
Trump wants to be a dictator.
Which is somehow different than Biden refusing to give up power and drop out despite no one wanting him?
Yes! Amazing both sidesing a man that wants to end democracy with a senile moderate.
Except the part where Biden is no moderate, and several of his policies, he’s been to the right of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher
Dismantling two and a half centuries of checks, balances, and protections isn’t half as easy as you may think.
The jury is still out on whether he’s capable enough to do it if he wins again. This said, who the fuck wants to take that chance?
Trump is also a selfish, amoral piece of shit that will pull us out of NATO and kowtow to Putin as he expands across Europe. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself, and the foreign countries and businesses he’s forever indebted to.
The only “upside” to this guy is the delusions he’s selling his fanclub on. They’re all lies, but America is infested with enough idiots that we’re now having to deal with this situation.
I’m so ashamed of this segment of my countrymen. What absolute rubes Trump voters are.
