- 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.
Sleepy Donald is upset. He should take a nap.
He’s so old, I can’t believe this is what they’re running.
It’s pretty sad, really. I’d be embarrassed if I were them.
I can’t believe all those stupid anti-biden truck decals etc will be rendered pointless in a matter of months. I better start making anti-Kamala decals if i want to properly capitalize on these next 4 years 🤑
Edit: cry into your fuckin ear-squares ya bunch of sad sacks
Those people aren’t going to let go of their anti-Biden identity that easily, we will probably still see those decals for years.
Their favorite cheap Chinese manufacturers are already on it, ready to take more of their money.
You can still cash in. There always needs to be the middle man in that scenario, buy em for $3 each. Sell em for $20 at flea markets and fairs.
I’m not interested in generating fascist, environment-polluting junk though.
In fairness… a lefty could make bank on anti Kamala stickers (that secretly hide they are too her but only people who finished school would notice)
GOP: “Your candidate is unfit for office.”
Dems: “Okay, we got a new candidate.”
GOP: shocked pikachu
No no not like that! We’re going to sue!
They’re going to, probably in every single red state.
They’re going to throw so much shit at the wall due to election ballot timing that unfortunately I think something will stick… it more than likely wont be legitimate, but we have way too many corrupt judges out there :(
If there is any way Mississippi and Arkansas can keep a black woman Democrat off the ballot, they will find it.
You mean Mississippi and Arkansas might go red? I guess our entire electoral strategy’s doomed, then!
They aren’t going to sue. They are going to start shooting. They’ve outright stated that. It’s crystal clear: they’ve said that the revolution would be “bloodless” only if the left “allowed” it to be. I really wanted to live long enough to build a family,.
You missed what Johnson said this morning. He says it’s “unlawful” in some states. (Which is not true in the slightest and they know it)
How much you want to bet that this only will be “unlawful” in red governmental shithole states
He’s basically giving a dog whistle to maggot judges to hold the line for the fascist party’s interest if these “challenges” come to them.
Edit: fixed for feels being hurt / jimmies rustled
Some of us live in those red shitholes. Send help. Please.
The only nice thing about those red shitholes is that it’s stupidly easy to get a gun. Get one. Join your local chapter of the SRA. Train at the local range at least twice a month so that you are proficient with it. Learn all the local stand your ground laws. Memorize them. When they start shooting, aim center mass.
While a pistol is far more portable, it requires far more training, as the lower mass of the firearm results in a larger than expected kick. Shotguns are really the weapon of choice for urban defense.
I personally have a couple of extremely nice sniper crossbows, that are basically silent. Seriously, the bolt impacting my target makes more noise than the bow. A couple of T-33s, an AA-12, and a 30-06. Lots of ammo too.
Learning how to reload your ammo is also invaluable, should they start shooting. Have a “riot shield,” basically the largest piece of steel you can easily carry that is more than 2" thick. Body armor is also a useful investment.
Can we try not to talk like Trump? No state as a whole is a shit hole full of shit hole people, those kinds of statements reek of elitism and it’s not a good look.
I live in Oklahoma. It is a shithole. I live in a shithole state.
This would be a good time for republicans to campaign on all the politics they intend to run. Lol. They’ve been unusually silent lately. because they can’t find common ground on anything but being anti-democrat.
GOP will implode on itself if Democrats just stay silent for a week or two.
they can’t find common ground on anything but being anti-democrat.
Sadly that’s all that’s needed in a first past the post system that has boiled down to two parties. It’s only tribalism at this point.
MAGAts can fuck off and die.
You’ve upset 3 magats so far.
Good, hopefully they’ve fucked off and died.
They didn’t, their spite alone sustains their will to live.
The problem with a 2 party system is that it is a lot easier to make the opposition look bad rather than make your candidate look good.
So all these MAGAs lost a lot of money since their smear campaign of Biden is now worth nothing and they will have to start over.
The smear campaign for Harris is already ramping up into full fashion.
Anything and everything is being thrown at the wall to see if it sticks. It’s absolutely disgusting behavior.
In the blink of an eye, their surplus of hateful anti-Biden merchandise becomes even more useless. This will surely make them realize how idiotic their cult is /s.
Why would you come with a campaign tweaked against a specific opponent and not with a program that is the best for the majority of the citizen? Politics is really stupid especially in 2024!
I’m saddened for them since they’ll never know what it’s like to lose to Biden twice.
But now he’ll get the chance to lose to a woman of color
Let’s hope we can focus more on Trump’s mental acuity (or lack thereof) from here on out.
Dementia Don, the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t even complete a coherent sentence. Too old, he needs to step down before he gives himself a McHeartAttack.
Incidentally, there’s a bunch of people on Lemmy really mad that they can’t tell everyone not to vote for Biden anymore. They’ll tell us not to vote for whoever is going to be his replacement though.
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.
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 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
You already told me in another post that you’re not celebrating this and have moved on to Harris.
bomb em Biden
- Takes too long to even figure out
- Not really all that punchy
- “Genocide Joe” is already perfectly serviceable without these drawbacks
- Dude… he’s out of the race now. Why you are even trying out new ways to dunk on Joe at this point is beyond me. Unless you were just excited that you thought of it and wanted to have a chance to apply it before the moment is past even though the moment is, at this point, past
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.
Nope, I just wanted his Israel supporting ass gone, she’ll probably do the same, but I KNOW he will
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Right here!
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?
Already happening. They’re testing the waters to see what’s going to stick.
And her past as a prosecutor, and the fact that she lost the primary 4 years ago, and her laugh. In addition to yours, that’s all I’ve seen so far. They ran “Heels up Harris” into the ground several years ago, but I do think it will make a return at some point. It was a shit insult but so are the others they’re trying to use.
Really all they have is a terrible legal gambit to try to keep her off ballots. That one is laughably bad. No deadlines have passed. The idiot at the front of the House said something stupid. I would hammer that until election day. “The Republicans did their best to keep us off the ballot because they hate freedom and democracy. They don’t want you to have a choice. And Trump endorsed Harris. Here’s the check.”
She also said something hard to understand about coconuts. Don’t forget that one. That means something or other.
Now they’re panicking and can’t decide if she’s unlikable or if she’s the “whacky aunt” entertaining everyone at the barbecue.
I went to the other place to check TFGs meltdown tweets or truths or turds or whatever they call them and I was not disappointed. He is asking for his money back because the attack ads they’ve purchased were against Joe.
Eh, their new dissent orders seem to be “Biden can’t appoint Harris! I didn’t vote for her!” which, of course, displays a total lack of knowledge about what primaries are and what the DNC is.
They didn’t want Biden to run, and now they mysteriously don’t want the person most of the party supports to run either.
Right? It’s almost as if they’ve never been approaching any of this in good faith.
You’re telling me someone would just go on the internet an lie?
It’s a massive social hub with influence on all the worlds information. What possible motivation could someone have try to influence people by faking accounts and make bad faith arguments?
Sorry, it just doesn’t add up. Now, you’ve interrupted me hitting myself in the head repeatedly with a hammer and this brain damageisnthgomr e
The uptick in those types of accounts makes this site start to feel like 2016 reddit 😂. Lemmy has become large enough to justify investment of bots to brigade and astroturf; we’ve made it!
Someone should start a Lemmy.ru instance with communities like /c/kremlin or maybe /c/remlin
I’m seeing a lot of “wHat AbOuT A pRimArY” already from the usual bad actors.
Oh yeah I’ve been called a fascist already because I said I’d vote for Harris and that while she isn’t the best candidate she will be leagues better than Biden imo.
Ozma in pieces right now…
You’d think so, but they already have moved on to “don’t vote for Harris” posts.
Why am I not surprised…
I actually was curious about it, so I looked over his posts, and it’s all over the place. Pro-Marianne Williamson, anti-Nancy Pelosi, pro-open convention and by implication anti-“coronation”, criticizing Harris for not being LBGTQ friendly enough…
Actually. You know what, it’s not really all that all over the place. 🙂 It’s just a little bit subtle with the consistent anti-Harris / anti-Democrat message, from different angles, enough so that I didn’t really pick up on it until I started typing them out.
Also I notice Marianne Williamson is starting to edge out Cornel West as the nonsensical candidate to support instead of the candidate that might be able to win the election
Everything they already pinned on Joe (like mainly Israel) they can pin on her because she was part of the same administration. Plus they will now also point at things from her past, like history as a criminal prosecutor, and blame her for that as well. Since that won’t align with progressive criminal reform agenda. And they might call her a race traitor as well, just for good measure. Should be interesting to see what the tankies and communists come up with.
there’s a bunch of people on Lemmy really mad that they can’t tell everyone not to vote for Biden anymore.
is there any evidence for this claim at all?
You ignore the rest of us who have, weird to only pretend one side exists
I guess I wasn’t talking about you then, was I?
But do please explain why I shouldn’t have ignored the people I wasn’t criticizing when I was criticizing another group. Is this some weird ‘both sides’ thing?
It’s an easy way to group all of someone together and pretend that everyone was the same, when we aren’t.
You pretend like there are only a few people who are like me and that the vast aren’t.
I insinuated no such thing.
Maybe they should have spent time and money promoting their candidate instead of attacking the other
I said the exact same thing this morning to a coworker. They have no policies, just hate.
Project 2025 tends to disagree
True. Their policies are so bad they have to disavow them…
Except to the right audience they are extremely proud of them. Yes overall their policies are unpopular but they aren’t without support
This is really what it boils down to. But with Trump there is nothing to promote. The only way they can win is by ruining the reputation of their opponent to try to make them look worse.
What about hunters laptop? That’s still going to be a huge deal right? Right??
Didn’t you know Kamala let her tamagotchi die 30 years ago? Do you know where that tamagotchi has been buried? You might not know about this, but everyone is talking about this. But they don’t because they are too scared to talk about it. A lot of good people. They talk about it. And the world is laughing at us. The good people talking about this are too scared to talk because the world is laughing.
The best people tell me Hillary Clinton had a tamagotchi just like it. So sad. So sad.
Rumour has it she used it for e-mail.
Policies don’t sell in the current political climate. It has been all about Trump vs not Trump since 2016.
Oh no, all of their bots will have to be reprogrammed.
It’s why they’re all so quiet now.
Bots and trolls in shambles right now
I’m having a blast trolling Trump supporters on Instagram. They’re short fusing right now.
So they are basically admitting that their whole campaign argument was “Biden is bad Trump is not Biden” and now that he is gone, the argument is invalid. After all if it was a campaign mostly about Trump’s positive qualities (in their perspective) then it should not have really mattered who the opposition is.
The problem with Trump being a talentless orange idiot is that the only quality he had was being younger than Biden.
Which was like twins that argue over who’s older.
Biden is now a man with nothing to lose and a supreme court that said presidents can do any damn thing they please
I would love him to do such extreme things they have no choice but to retract the rulings and put in further protections.
They don’t have to retract the ruling, they specifically said the supreme court can still revoke what the president does. So only trump is allowed whatever he wants.
Like fire the few unqualified corrupt shitheads that were appointed by a felon rapist traitor? Judges appointed by traitors that follow Putin’s will should no longer be judges. It’s a matter of national security.
Unfortunately he won’t do anything with that at all.
But why leave a quiet legacy when you can spend 6 months earning a whole page in a high school history book?
