Gen X lost their shit after turning 50 and/or Covid. Trump is the first reactionary "celebrity-turned-politician of their adult lives that they, as an age group, broadly supported.

Wait, what?  51 this year and keeping my shit together.  You on the other hand seem like a fucking jackass.  
 

I am all in on Kamala, as are my adult kids and wife.  Trump is a loser pedophile piece of shit.  I could give a shit about Gaza and Israel.  My worries are the USA.  Fuck off.

Appreciate the help. Would pass the baton, but whatever. Gonna let myself in to the house, eat a snack of Pop Tarts, and play some Atari while I blow off my homework.

Donnie wants some kind of race war to erupt.  He wants Kamala to focus on blacks versus whites so he can tell his base that the blacks are after them.

She needs to be the grown-up happy warrior in the room, focusing on bringing us all together while accurately (but not emotionally) describing his misogyny and racism.

She needs to say “poor Donnie” the same way y’all say “poor Aggy”, because they are practically the same thing.

i’m the first to admit that my poli-sci degree from Florida does not give me any better opinion on a race in 2024 after these 40-odd years than yours - but I have been a political junkie all of my life, and it strikes me that the never ending buzz about Trump attacking people and Vance attacking people, and all of the emotional energy that goes with Trump’s version of grievance politics is so fucking tiring to any normal person, that the continued Trump drama will encourage people to vote for Harris.  Just so they don’t have to listen to this shit every day for four years.

Given that Trump feels this attack mode is the only way for him to campaign, and as polls are trending down, his Pavlovian response will be to get even uglier and more emotional. Forget all of the policy position stuff, I am here to say Trump will lose because - overall - people just don’t want to listen to his constant shit slinging anymore.  They want happy smiling chirpy Harris to tell them things are going to be fine, and are in fact fine right now, but we are working on the things that aren’t and we will work with Republicans and listen to their ideas. 

I think voters - more than anything - want a break from the anger and the drama.   It’s as simple as that.  During the recent Biden doldrums we were not getting the full on shit slinging Gibbon that is Trump.   Some people forgot how it was when he was president.   Like PTS, people are remembering the constant negativity and insulting attacks on everyone who disagrees with Trump.

I think the PTS is being triggered and will result in a Harris win. 

I completely agree with this.  Starting with Trump 1.0 and then covid, people just want a return to normal without the chaos and all Trump brings is chaos.  I see it in consumer trends and it applies to politics, as well.

I am all for her getting in the trenches and punching bitch ass donnie in the nose, but not on this topic. She doesn’t need to prove her heritage to anyone. Take the high road and leave him standing in his corner waiting for a race war that won’t come. 
 

Shank him (metaphorically) on other topics.

I'm gonna be honest, when I saw people lampooning MAGA using the word "colored" I didn't think they were being literal. 

Perhaps that reflects more on me than anything else, because I should have known...

I respect Biden for finally getting us out even if it didn't go perfectly.  Getting out of Afghanistan had been a part of every presidential campaign going back to Obama's 2nd term but we would never do it.

Yeah. I mean….they offered that, Project 2025. And now they’re running from THAT.
So…they don’t have a decent vision. They don’t have a message. But man, that have ALL the venom and loathing of the eir fellow Americans. And…it has worked and is still working.

This!

I hope her team is smart enough to stay on offense and on message.

She's a deft debater. She's getting advice on many things and likely input on this, but Harris has spent her life applying logic and persuasion. She recognizes a weakness in an opponent and knows to pick her ground to fight.

Is Trump afraid to debate you?

(slight pause for effect and then the soft sure voice) 

He should be.

It's small but telling how she managed that moment. I've definitely gone from okay with Harris to enthusiastic about her and the irresistable march of the New Guard. Oxygen has re-entered the room. The black-out curtains are pulled from the windows.

At last, it feels sorta new and fresh.

Keep in mind that Trump said that during the debate with Biden and Biden just let it go.

I pray he says it in a debate with Harris.

Weird. 

 

 

In 2000-2001 I worked in the dining area at a 'retirement facility.' It was an old folks home.... but nicesr-ish......for early 2000 middle class folks who feel bad for putting their father or mother in a home. It had carpeted hallways and less rape... I assume.

I made a sweet $7/hr which was an upgrade from my previous GattiTown minimum wage of $5.25.

This sounds like the ramblings of the residents who you just nodded to while serving breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This is the shit my buddies and I would laugh and joke about in the kitchen while washing dishes.

The only difference is that it's wrapped in a shit suit with lots of folks listening. Still the same kind of nonsense. Talk about triggering and bringing back memories.

 

I met some badasses who fought in WW2 and Korea who had some stories man. Guys who spent their lives in Pittsburgh foundries making I-beams that later lost their legs to the 'diabetus'. Women who still dressed immaculately and carried themselves with an air of elegance even when their Parkinson's wreaked havoc on their nervous system.

 

This joker, however, was the racist dude who'd be noodlin' the batshit crazy woman that wasn't allowed to take bananas back to her room b/c the nurses kept catching her going to town on her dried up nether regions when the doors shut. He'd probably be riddled with 8th degree herpes and super syphilis.

If things keep going badly for Trump, I wonder when we start to see the cracks with Republicans in the same vein of what Biden went through with Democrats. If enthusiasm dies for him, it will affect down ballot races.

Yes she's very good. This performance of hers really impressed me back when I had no idea how bad things would get about one month later. She always directly answered the question, elaborated, then returned to direct answer. Smart time management, well-prepared talking points, well-researched lines of attack, and her opponent (dumb, but not Trump dumb) completely unraveled.
