- Trump and his supporters are slamming Joe Biden for quitting the race and endorsing Kamala Harris.
- Some members of MAGA world are bemoaning the millions of dollars spent running against Joe Biden.
- Biden’s withdrawal also means Trump is now the oldest candidate in the presidential race.
You know what I’m not seeing?
ANY of these accounts that were so relentless in their criticism of Biden and how he needed to step down because otherwise the Democrats would lose, being simply happy about this.
ALL of the tentative happiness about Harris maybe being a stronger candidate than Biden was, is coming from people who were either neutral or defending Biden before. The people who were giving a firehose of criticism to Biden and demanding that it was MANDATORY for him to step down, for the good of the Democrats and the country, have for the most part fallen silent, and a whole new grouping has arisen to give criticism to Harris and say that as good progressives they could never vote for a cop.
They’re waiting on the next talking points from their Russian overlords. Give it a day or so and they’ll be back with some new, yet all the same, arguments.
Yeah, they can’t take two seconds to enjoy the victory they wanted. They have to move on to the next thing to bitch and moan about.
They never thought it would happen. They shot themselves in both feet with shotguns. Now they’re in panic mode because they’re realizing they’re really fucked now.
They didn’t want Biden to step down. They wanted him running against Trump and losing.
Exactly.
It’s quite insidious.
Today I’m suddenly seeing a lot of “vote blue no matter who”, which IMO is intended to stifle enthusiasm for Kamala.
If the left could unite behind a candidate we’d destroy the GOP.
Pretty much. That way when Trump won, they could say “see? We told you so!”
Much more important than them or people they might care about getting marched into camps.
Nope just didn’t want bomb em Biden there
3/10. It’s not, like, a total failure, but there are multiple reasons just not even to use it. Can I recommend “cacklin’ Kamala” instead, as a replacement?
I really liked Genocidin Biden but he turned around and started dropping air packets and at least tried with the pier.
I think he should have driven aid trucks in with one us soldier per truck and said “Dare you.”, but I understand the high risk for loss of life.
He did a lot of good and even worked with the railroad union after he shut down their strike and earned my respect back from that one.
He is either in the shadow years of his life or he has just lost the ability to not seem that way in public.
The man has earned his retirement and now it is our job to try and get her elected.
That sending Israel everything and protecting their asses after what they have done.
A response was required, they unleashed hell on civilians and he continued to support them.
She probably will too, but maybe not.
While I would love someone way more on the “single provder” and new housing, those are long term changes
They listened and now it’s our turn to have their backs.
You already told me in another post that you’re not celebrating this and have moved on to Harris.
Nope, I just wanted his Israel supporting ass gone, she’ll probably do the same, but I KNOW he will
That’s not true! I danced a jig when we found out. I was voting against Trump but now I am voting for Harris.
Several others are not. Including a person who has been posting anti-Biden articles in this community for months, who has now switched to anti-Harris articles.
Hi there one of those people!
Then I guess you’re only happy if you’re miserable.
Actually I clicked the wrong reply button on this one.
It would be nice to remember happy, but at least now I feel a little heard by my leaders
Wasn’t rabid before, but I was one of those for Biden stepping down in favor of Kamala. I just wanted a strong voice that was capable of at least countering Trump’s endless spew of lies. But I have noticed those that are now bashing Kamala were also telling people not to vote for Biden.
Bots gonna bot
Really? I’ve seen plenty of posts like that. Stuff like “Donated to the democratic party to show this was necessary”, “Finally, we can safely roast Trump for being old and senile”, “I don’t care who the replacement is, thank god he’s out”.
There are some shit-stirrers, but they seem to be the minority.
Disclaimer: I am not American, cannot vote or donate, am heavily invested in the election due to the ramifications on Ukraine.
Can you link me to them?
You don’t, like, have to, but I am genuinely curious. I haven’t seen that and I am wondering if there is some segment of Lemmy that I am missing.
lol that’s a really broad extrapolation of what, a few people you saw that happened to post something in the last day? Just boldly labeling anyone who had a criticism of Biden as a bitter troll or something?
Right here!
