    nah. i won’t call him a “hero” but this is the best way it could have happened, rather than republicans having YEARS to foment hatred and spin conspiracy theories and make everyone waste time debunking lie after lie about harris.

    and nobody’s going to switch from D to R because it’s harris instead of biden. you can be fairly certain, however, that there WILL be people voting who weren’t going to vote at all when it was biden instead of harris

    should he be applauded? yes. is he a hero? no. should he have announced it years ago? no fucking way.

      but this is the best way it could have happened

      The best way was this happening a year ago so we could have a primary…

      But you don’t think Dem voters should have had a say?

      I’m a lot more democratic than you apparently…

        LOL good job parroting fox news’s desperate “bIdEn ChEaTeD tHe DeMs!!!” talking points. i’ll bet you’re doing it for free too.

        news flash-- biden isn’t running, and you could have voted for anyone you wanted in the primary. so this entire “debate” about biden’s shoulda/woulda/coulda, while entertaining to obliterate people in, is getting the tankie position exactly nowhere

          What?

          So if Faux News says we didn’t get a real primary…

          We have to lie and say we did?

          That’s Trumper logic man

          Have fun with that.

          Edit:

          and you could have voted for anyone you wanted in the primary.

          In my state (and others) Biden was the only Dem on the primary ballot…

            LOL why weren’t you and the apparently millions of other like minded yous mobilizing to either get someone else on the ballot, or writing in someone else?

            or were you just accepting what you were told to, like you’re accusing everyone else of doing now?

            again–what do you think you’re going to accomplish with all of these sad desperate dEmScHeAtEd attacks? making people not vote now?

            have fun with that

            btw: voter registrations for 18-34 year olds surged AFTER harris became the nominee. that means people are registering specifically to vote for harris. does that grind your gears? LOL

              again–what do you think you’re going to accomplish

              Did you not see what happened to the Republican party when they stopped holding their politicians accountable?

              Why are you trying to make the democratic party just as shitty?

              btw: voter registrations for 18-34 year olds surged AFTER harris became the nominee. that means people are registering specifically to vote for harris. does that grind your gears? LOL

              No…

              It’s a good thing, I’ve spent over a year saying Biden and Hillary are the only two who could.lose to trump…

              I’m glad Biden finally listened to people who knew what he was talking about about. But I’m still mad that he waited so long we didn’t get a primary.

              You seem to be operating under football logic where people pick a team and only say good things about them.

              Which again, is what made the Republican party into what it is today.

              So I ask again, why do you want both major parties to act like Republicans?

              If youre not gonna answer, there’s no point in me wasting time with you.
