We’ve got you covered

Can I get Internet Points for the call btw

j/k

Yes, and palm facing the person. It’s a combination of the signed letters I, L, Y.

Oh, the explanation in literally in the link. -.-

It’s subtle but it seems like RFK is only siphoning off Trump support. Makes me wonder if he’ll drop out suddenly the more that becomes apparent.

“We have the chance to save U.S. democracy and rule of law, to elect the first woman President of the United States, and to send TFG packing. By contributing to Kamala Harris’s campaign via this portal, we can also encourage her to create a distinct presence on Mastodon, not mediated by Threads or any other social media provider.”

Promoting Mastodon isn’t even a tertiary goal. It’s just an “also encourage”. The primary goal is fundraising for a political candidate.

Well he lost my vote

I say that only because the lift effect may not actually turn it into a locked swing state. NC has been more lean-right than a true swing state so it’s, in my mind, riskier than picking the PA governor for the reasons that you highlight. But regardless, I think any of Shapiro, Cooper or Kelly would be a great balance to the ticket and i would not at all be disappointed with any of them. Honestly it’s an embarrassment of riches with regards to potential VPs and a great position for Democrats.

Because it’s not a good idea. They select him and don’t convert Republican voters, lose a good portion of the progressive base and only get marginal, less reliable, swing voters with that move. That’s at least a ten point loss right there.

It’s going to be a safe bet like Josh Shapiro or, slightly less safe, Cooper.

This is a general observation that no matter who is running as a the Democratic presidential candidate in America there will always be a concerted effort to undermine their viability and general reception.

This has been happening since John Kerry in 2004

I’m so sorry for that.

I agree with you on people working in election offices having integrity by and large but the Ohio Republicans did actually try to pull a fast one this election cycle. Fortunately DeWine knew it was beyond the pale.

You’re absolutely correct. I was under the assumption that states pre printed ballots based on the presumptive nominees. Apparently states that do that are being naughty/cutting corners.

Yup. That’s exactly what they tried already

Republicans will pull some shenanigans in at least one state to keep Biden on the ballot. My bet is Ohio. So, a non trivial amount.

Yeah, I’m getting whiplash from the talking points all around me.

My fellow sdf’er. I will be happy as a clam if I’m wrong. But given the threads I’ve seen so far and that this news is fresh, it’s only a matter of time.

I also heard she gave a middle finger to a box of kittens.

I’ve got money on “Crooked Cop Kamilla”. The licensing should make me millions.
