For like my entire adult life I’ve had to witness republicans calling democrats satanic pedophiles and the response from dems has always been like “I look forward to working with my colleagues across the aisle who want to execute me.” Nice to see that changing a bit here

I have a lot of thoughts, so strap in. This is gonna be a long one. Since Harris is now the nominee I had some time today while sitting under the willow and while I was driving places running errands ...
Call me petty, but, if we are going to kick republicans for saying s**tty stuff, could we work on their 'since the 80s' speech impediment with the words "Democratic Party"?
You can be cynical about what they’ll actually do with power and still enjoy this immensely. I know I am.
This is part of the generational shift in politics, and I am all for it. I think Biden was always a little uncomfortable with this style, and always wanted to find the best in others...but we are past that, and Harris and her team get this.
Obama bullshit has fucked so much of the dems minds. Born in the crucible of with us or the terrorists, just a party unwilling to fight back. I guess the plus side of running a truly vile prosecutor is she will be disgusting as prosecutors tend to be, but like at the worthy targets finally.
For decades we’ve been saying “if you don’t stop lying about us, we’re going to tell the truth about you.” Looks like it’s finally happening.
I'm not used to feeling this hopeful about politics
On one hand, it’s good to see a democratic campaign finally using language and style that republicans have long used. Gotta fight fire with fire sometimes. On the other hand, it makes them sound like republicans sound and it’s kinda gross. Either way, I hope it pays off.
"Bluh bluh bluh, I'm just a humble couch fucking, fertilty obsessed blackpilled groyper from Theilville, YA who's country charm appeals to middle america." Dem consultant whos been trigger shy since Clinton's impeachment, "we can't attack this guy without it backfiring! Time to go on the defense."
