I can't wait for the next avenues of attack Republicans will use on Harris after mocking her for having a sense of humor. How do you even begin to attack her when the Republicans candidate is a lumpy, joyless piece of human shit?
July 24, 2024 at 12:37 AM
I just saw a Newsmax screenshot that showed that Harris wanted to tax the wealthy, investigate oil companies, begin Medicare for all, and forgive students loan debt. What a great advertisement for her! Leave it up to conservatives to make her sound like the ultimate badass.

I think it's important for the political left to not only focus on being harbingers of doom. Beating Trump requires more than just telling people how much Project 2025 will fuck our country. Democrats need to sell an alternative vision of inclusion, compassion, and hope.

Maybe red states would keep college graduates if the legislatures didn't attack LGBTQ rights, elect attorney generals that do everything they can to block student loan forgiveness, and overall stopped being shitty to anyone with more than a high school diploma.

Is there no one on the political right with a shred of creativity or even a basic sense of humor? It's like someone stole art from a d-tier Netflix animated show and then let an AI trained exclusively on Fox News write the script.
