Kennedy, Jr. might be able to beat me in a race but he looks like he is about to melt at any given moment. She probably should be Jr. as' running mate though.
His voice is so bad.

Yeah, sounds bad. Like I said, he’s not getting my vote, not a good person and his exit from office was disgraceful.When DJT on Jan 6th said this in his speech to protestors, what do you think he was referring to?
Its a reference to his scheme to overturn the election. From the Jack Smith indictment:
The important thing to remember is that no one contests this timeline of events. Congressional Republicans didn't, they argued it was too close to his term ending to impeach him. DJT doesn't, his defense was that he has immunity form judicial review. The SCOTUS doesn't, they granted him criminal immunity.
I didn't say he was unfit, I said he got old. In practice that hurt him a lot because Biden's charisma came from his energy which balanced out his tendency to misspeak. But as an old man he lost the energy while still being prone to gaffes which made it hard for him to campaign.
I have a prediction, the left will now look for another George Floyd and cause civil unrest right before the election. They’re gonna try to get back the black votes that Joe lost. We’ve become a nation of gullible fools.
Earlier you tried to frame this as merely picking between the lesser of two evils but I reject that framing, its a choice between a more or less typical candidate and one who attempted a coup when he lost the last election. Keep in mind that the entire GOP from top to bottom has closed ranks around him; Congressional Republicans refused to impeach him, voters refused every other alternative candidate, and the SCOTUS granted him immunity.Yeah, sounds bad.

What else would you like me to say?
Trump is “more evil” does that help?Earlier you tried to frame this as merely picking between the lesser of two evils but I reject that framing, its a choice between a more or less typical candidate and one who attempted a coup when he lost the last election.

Saying "sounds bad" comes off to me as a woeful understatement.
While I do think it's impossible to believe that Biden was qualified to be president and remain our president, you won't get any argument from me at all that Trump is unfit by default... by nature.I like how nowhere there did you at any point address the fact that Trump tried to prevent the peaceful transfer of power and, for someone who supposedly doesn't like Trump, offered a relatively favorable review when compared to your take on Kamala which was pretty much all bad. But please tell me more about how you're a centrist.
The idea that Trump speaks to the lack of unity is insane, he is a core source of the lack of unity.
He got old but I think the decline was exaggerated and that ultimately I trusted in American institutions and norms to soften any blow that the aging of the person of the president would bring. The issue is that on the GOP side they have gutted institutions and run roughshod over norms so you can't trust those things to hold Trump back the way you could in a Biden admin. In 2016 I could believe institutions would hold but seeing how Congressional Republicans, Supreme Court justices, and GOP voters have all colluded to shield Trump from any liability post Jan 6th has changed things.
You assumed I was called racist, last time a black person ran.You possess such a raging victim complex you are fantasizing about getting labeled a racist online before it's even happened.
But yep, I'm the buffoon.
I like how you put it in quotes and qualified it by saying you won't vote for either, you just can't bare to flat out criticize Trump without some reference to "both sides" or some way to soften the criticism. That's how it comes off to me at least and why I don't buy your "centrism"Trump is “more evil” does that help?
I won’t vote for either.
She is getting very positive responses on social media.
She down 9 points to Trump in freaking Georgia in a poll that just came out today, LMFAO. She's going to get blown out in the electoral college.She is getting very positive responses on social media.
For a brief time in the hours immediately following Biden's announcement, Democrat voters had hope they might get a fresh new candidate they could vote for with real enthusiasm. Then it quickly became apparent that the Democrat establishment was going to rally around Harris, and you could hear the collective sigh of disappointment, with things going right back to the tired old "Anyone but Trump" motivation to vote.
Now we get to suffer a few months of Democrats trying to polish the turd that is Harris, with all the performative and phony-ass enthusiasm that goes along with it.
Trump not deadAccording to MTG, Trump is actually George Floyd lol
You assumed I was called racist, last time a black person ran.
You have no idea who I am nor could you ever possibly know that any one person "called me a racist"
I'll put it in a way your soft brain can comprehend. You are a fucking buffoon.

Democrats are just doubling down on their mistakes. First, they denied Biden had issues. That was fine four years ago, I didn't think too much of the gaffes, every candidate (and President-elect) makes gaffes, that's how grueling both the campaign trail and the Presidency is, he was far more articulate than Trump prior to the election, so I just dismissed all that as partisan hot air. He was an old old man after all. Furthermore, I remember them telling us that Democratic handlers were hiding Hillary's terminal condition in 2016 every time she tripped, and how she would be dead in a few years. Yeah, so it's not like the MAGA guys can act like they've got a great track record with this "the powers hid a health condition" stuff. Throwing darts at a board to see what lands.
But the Presidency ages men 20 years in 4 years, look at what happened to Obama's hair, because obviously Biden was in the early onset stages, and the Presidency rapidly deteriorated his condition. This became beyond obvious over a year ago, that's when you can peel through old Sherdog threads to see the less partisan centrists like myself from either side jumping ship, saying, "Hey, this isn't normal, there's something to this, it's not partisan smearing." Yet the Dems scooped it under the rug. Buried their heads in the sand. Pretended it wasn't an issue.
Second, they maintained this for weeks after the debate. Sunk cost fallacy. We've ridden Biden this far, you don't change horses mid-stream. They should have acted immediately. Instead, the freaking late night talk show hosts had to take the lead, and the real political leaders only began to "voice their concerns" after weeks of this while the polls for Biden began sliding off the mountain. Once again, they were just being feeble bureaucrats. Crunch the numbers. React, don't act. Follow, don't lead.
And now they're doing that a third time by all lining up behind Kamala. Because it's logical. Because she has "name recognition". Because she's at the front of the line.
FFS, this is the Presidency, not an apple polishing competition. Pick a fucking winner. Pick a leader. Pick somebody that excites the people. Pick somebody the people actually like. Take this rare moment where the entire world's eyes are on the stage to introduce an unknown. The unprecedented dropout offers an unprecedented opportunity. This is a moment where you can create a superstar overnight. You don't need a familiar actor. The moment carries the audience. Pick a fresh face. What an unbelievable gift dropped into their lap, but because they're all scurrying, scared little lickspittles, they're going to triple down on their mistake, and squander that moment.
For fucking Kamala Harris. JFC.
