“I’m a gun owner; Tim Walz is a gun owner,” Harris said.

“I did not know that,” Winfrey replied.

“If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” Harris added. “Probably should not have said that. But my staff will deal with that later.”

The article has a video clip. I love the bullshit “probably…” It’s a 100% certainty she spoke with her staff and workshopped the phrasing and presentation of gun stuff. Plus I bet she practiced her lines. No American politician is going to wing it when talking about guns.

Ah yes, the American dream of being able to murder a threatening stranger.

Life is cheap in the Burger Reich.

I love how Harris is starting out with every advantage a candidate could possibly have and systematically blowing it.

Trump too tbh. This election feels like both candidates are doing their damnedest to throw it for the other one because neither actually wants to be president right now lol.

Is she? These seem less like flubs than attempts to flank Trump from the right, like with her “I love fracking SOFUCKINGMUCH” but at the debate. Libs are gonna vote for her no matter what and leftists are demographically a non-factor so why wouldn’t she?

The true believer democrats that vote will vote for her, yes, but she needs a way to increase democrat voter turnout to actually win. She might have less charisma than Clinton, and I’m not confident that “Not Trump” is going to be enough now that Trump has been out of office for 4 years.

We’ll find out soon enough, but I’m doubtful that this inauthentic pandering campaigning she’s doing is going to energize enough voters to win. Thanks to boomers and voter suppression and the electoral college every race is kind of the republicans’ to lose by default, so they can get away with a lot more stupid shit.

The goal of the Democratic Party is to become the Republican Party, not to win elections.

Let’s put it this way: the goal is to capture Republican donors, not to capture Republican voters. Two separate things.

They showed themselves to have no moral compasses when it comes to genocide. Their true colors are that they’re weathervanes.

Their compasses are like in Pirates of the Caribbean, they just point to whatever they want most. Which, regrettably, is just The Status Quo…or perhaps Brunch if they haven’t had one in a while

It’s so obviously performative when they each have a battalion of secret service on security detail. If they pulled a gun out and started wandering the halls of their houses, they are more likely to cause a friendly fire incident than stop an intruder
