I looked up age crosstabs, this has Harris winning the youth vote at a typical rate

Some jerkoff on Fox Business called Kamala a DEI vice president and just in case anyone didn’t know how racist he was, he said we have a DEI press secretary too. Then he called Kamala “the original hawk tuah girl” and said that show she got where she’s at.

They’re saying the stuff on cable news they said on corners of the Internet on 2016, and it’s not going to go well for them.

I wish I was more confident in that last line. I really fear we aren’t ready for a woman to be president

When this comes up in the debate, she’s going to drop him on the spot. The election might be over. Something like…

Donald Trump thinks there are black jobs and white jobs, male jobs and female jobs, and anytime a white male job goes to someone else it’s DEI, and anytime a woman gets a male job it must have involved sexual favors. He thinks the presidency and the vice presidency are white male jobs, but the reality is the most popular president of the last 20 years was a black man and the most popular president of the next 20 years is going to be a black woman… And just because the only way he can get any is by sexually assaulting women and leveraging his power and money doesn’t mean the rest of us are out here trading jobs for sex, so he can take that nonsense and file it away with the rest of what I like to call HIS dei… Dumb, evil, and ignorant.

Apparently these remarks are from April… which kinda raises other questions but that’s irrelevant now

Here’s Drew Magary (from his weekly mailbag here):

I can’t believe I have to say nice things about Democratic leadership, but this is the week for doing just that. Up until this week, it was difficult for them to get much traction on anti-Trump messaging because of Joe Biden, who wasn’t able to make the case himself without having a fully intact saltine drop out of his mouth. That’s why the party, and the money backing it, spent a full month convincing Biden to get out of the paint. They had to get the focus off of Biden’s physical and mental deterioration and back onto Trump being a piece of shit.

I could argue that pushing Biden out now, post-primaries, was ruthless, mean, and unfair. But I NEED Democrats to be ruthless. Making a coordinated effort to shove Bernie out of the primaries in 2020? That was ruthless, and it worked out for the party leadership. Now they are banking on it working out again, and I can’t fault them for it.

Because while Kamala Harris isn’t the most natural politician to ever exist, she’s a warm body and she knows how to fuck people up on the debate stage, her current boss foremost among them. Trump is gonna duck that second debate like it’s a process server. He knows he has to actually compete in this election now, and there’s nothing he hates more than actually having to work. He’s fucked. I still resent the Democrats for a lot of reasons, but in retrospect this feels like one of the canniest political moves of my lifetime, if not the canniest.

We’re all scarred from the past decade and change. We’re all bracing for the worst. But when Biden took himself off the field on Sunday, I felt better about the world than I had in ages. I gave $100 to the Harris campaign faster than you can eat a potato chip, and I wasn’t alone. Unlike Ruth Bader Ginsburg or Dianne Feinstein, Biden decided to sacrifice himself in order to hopefully secure future victories (and prevent future losses). For the first time in a long time, it feels like the gerontocracy in America is loosening its grip on me and every other liberal voter. I feel fucking incredible right now. Alive. FREE. Trump is a historically weak candidate who is also old as shit. Meanwhile, there’s real enthusiasm out there for his new opponent, and THAT is what will finish off Trumpism, and the doomerism it engendered, for good. I’m ready. Let’s fucking roll.

@goofy

“DEI” is the new n-word for these people, a slur they can apply to any Black person to call them lesser-than.

I’m not sure how much of this is fake but…

[ParlaySlow]

For whatever it’s worth, Biden never said he’d specifically pick a black woman for VP. He did commit to nominating a black woman to SCOTUS if given the opportunity.

Not seeing the big change I was hoping to see in polls

It’s been like 3 days and already have had several polls more optimistic than overall Biden trend? Were you hoping for a 10 point swing this week or something.

This. Also, a big part of the upside of switching is having someone who can coherently make a case for themselves and against Trump, and energize volunteers and donors. That takes time to translate to polling and votes, but we’ve seen that those elements are in play.
