They’re trying to flip them to Republicans by claiming Democrats don’t really care about democracy after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much name calling with more than a few times bordering on a full blown temper tantrums. It was a tough, tough call made by a party that had been criticized for being too soft. It’s a big move for sure that deserves a ton of credit. Maybe they aren’t as stupid as some of you thought. All I can say is that I feel a whole lot better about the chances of Donald Trump NOT being President than I have in a long, long time. I know that I can’t be alone in that confidence. That’s a great thing. Let’s hope it pays off in November. No the Democratic party is still spineless. They caved to the donors and pissed their pants over a debate. I don't trust this party to fight when something doesn't go their way. We have no choice but to support Harris right now. There does need to be a reckoning in the party in 2026.

Trump: “Le GOP, c’est moi.” So—he pressures … himself? 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 1 hour ago, Motown Bombers said: Obama will endorse Harris. He waited until the convention to endorse Biden in 2020. It isn't a big conversation. The whole party has gotten behind Harris. If they actually drag it deliberately to milk some press and theatrical value out of it (which they should) it will be a good stroke. If he's just playing some kind of Hamlet it would be disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIRED UP LETS GO I liked her other commercial about how 9-11 shaped her career choices and how she worked under presidents of both parties. She's someone who may run for POTUS someday.
