President Biden:
Youβre amazing, President Biden. Even in your departure, you prove presidential. Youβll always been a winner in my book!

Vice President Harris: "I am honored to have the President's endorsement and my intention is to earn and win this nomination.β
βI will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party-and unite our nation-to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda.β
"We have 107 days until Election Day. Together, we will fight. And together, we will win."
"And a voter for an aspiring dictator backed by the worldβs greediest fascists and oligarchs and enabled by a stolen and broken Republican Supreme Court is a vote for your vote never to matter again."
I don't care who runs with Harris. I'm in . Too old, too short, too fat, too female, too gay, too white, too conservative, too liberal, too young, too from the wrong part of the country, honestly, I'm not fighting over this stuff - I'm in this to win with President Harris. To save womens reproductive freedom and democracy from the two gross guys running for MAGA.
I'm doing this to honor the achievements of the most successful legislative President in my lifetime. Joe beats FDR because FDR had Democratic Supermajorities in Both Houses, and Joe faced bare majorities or a House in control by MAGA. Joe's done won for us nobodies by sheer skill, compassion, and strategy. We'll never see anyone else as good in this century.
It's not like normalizing fascism is uncharted territory for them. It's a long and sacred tradition.
Congratulations to the New York Times, who not only fucked up the 2016 election by publishing the Hilary emails shit weeks before that election, the relentless op-ed bullshit for the past month will certainly put into question the chances the Dems had of winning in 2024.
But I bet you sold a lot of newspapers stoking the fires of fascism, so great job NYT!
I've been staying out of the discussion over Biden's candidacy, and I probably still will. But I wanted to express my gratitude for him defeating Trump last time, and for a term that was more productive than many, me included, expected. His deep contrast as a person and a leader to Trump was a huge relief, and I'm thankful for it.
Newsom is my governor, and I love him, but he can't be VP. He'd drag the ticket down. He's too San Francisco for most of the country, and too corporate for the extreme leftists. He'd be attacked from both sides.
The most important thing to me this November is that Donald Trump loses, but it would also be pretty damn cool to have a Black woman president. So let's do this.

Cheney is horrible. She's a broken clock that happened to be right, once. She's still Darth Cheney's daughter and a Republican.
And, while I have concerns about US voters and their history with women leaders, it's overshadowed by the knowledge that post-Roe is THE defining issue for a significant portion of voters. And who better to represent a woman's choice than a woman candidate?
This campaign's juxtaposition now is simple & couldn't be clearer for multiple generations to understand:
The King of Ponzi scheming who kept Mein Kampf on a nightstand & whose dad was arrested at a KKK meeting who published the racist Central Park Five hitpiece & got Roe overturned
A Black woman prosecutor who is pro-abortion.
The assholes got their wish.
They're going to wish they hadn't
