I feel like this is a smart move by Donald because we’re still in this fugue state where we’re almost certain Kamala is the nominee but we’re not even sure, and the DNC is literally 3 weeks away with the actual election fast approaching lmao. Nobody has seen Kamala on the campaign trail, people barely know her and the debate would be giving her added publicity.
On the other hand it might be a good thing for her, noone knows her so she’s just some generic Dem candidate vs bigbad baby that you can just VoteBlue for

The weirdest thing about Kamala is that in the context of like, cross examining (see her in Senate hearings for examples of this) she’s pretty competent, she stays on topic, she sounds normal and good at her job. When she’s talking off the cuff she sounds like a crazy person. I remember her dunking on Biden pretty hard in the 2020 debates, so maybe she would be able to bring that kind of cross-examining lawyer vibe to a Trump debate. She could also just lose the plot entirely and laugh awkwardly while avoiding direct questions.
She just needs to imagine Donnie is a poor black woman whose child skipped school, and then the killer instincts will kick in
Well some of his kids definitely skipped school
I’m don’t know that this the real offence in the eyes of the law
To the blue MAGA crowd, skipping school is literally worse than bombing one.
Uvalde cops would have been there faster if someone said a kid was truant instead of that there was an active shooter
Kamala in the first debate absolutely embarrassed Biden, so bad that he still hasn’t forgiven her for it. Subsequent debates she seemed different, and was nowhere near as compelling.
I’m really hoping to see more of Kamala from the first debate in this election cycle. So far it’s looking pretty good.
Retreating from debates is definitely the right move for him. Kamala is evil but her brain is functional and she’s a perfectly competent debater (former prosecutor and all). It may have been overshadowed by Biden’s on-stage brain death, but Trump’s brain is also only operating at about 20% capacity on a good day. He would’ve looked like a mess.
People keep saying this, but I remember her sounding as bad as the other 2. Either because she is always high as fuck or a particularly bad case of long covid. Being a successful prosecutor does not mean you have the debating skills of Cicero, it mean the states machinery is working to fuck over some random kid and you take credit for it.
Being a successful prosecutor does not mean you have the debating skills of Cicero
She does have the debating skills of Cicero. Unfortunately, it’s this Cicero:
She don’t serve the Sithis though, USA is the House of Troubles with all the 4 Corners and more.
Capital is Sithis
That makes sense, he does seem high.
Seriously, we already saw her in debates.
Her only moment that broke through was when she called Biden a racist, and now there’s a video clip of her saying that nothing she says in debates actually means anything while laughing.
Don’t forget, “Um, Mr. Vice-president? I’m speaking.” Libs were quoting that stupid comment for at least a week after that.
It really is frustrating to watch this shit and be like “what baby brained dumbass is this horseshit working on?”
And then the next monologue on Colbert is “kamala slay-ris spills the tea” with 10 million views.
Although I’m one of the views so maybe the masochist demo is being under accounted for.
American elections are won and lost on turnout, and the vibes-based voters are the most likely to stay at home. All those people who said the main reason they didn’t approve of Biden because of his age will vote for Kamala as long as she doesn’t fuck it up. Plus there are a lot of libs that are currently convincing themselves Kamala will be better policy wise, anything she says will make things worse.
My opinion is that to win, all Kamala has to do is not be Biden. Go hide and say nothing. She’s not going to do anything in a debate with Trump that’s going to win votes, but she could do something to fuck it up.
They need to release a feral Hasan onto the debate floor to make it more interesting and get us
2Trump’s brain is also only operating at about 20% capacity on a good day.
Doesn’t really matter since his entire aesthetic is to act and talk using the least possible brain power lol
Rant time. Every time I turn on npr I want to smash my head through the windshield. Listening to that station is self harm. People were calling in to talk about how they were excited about the kamala pick and haven’t been this energized since Obama. Apparently it’s so ironic that she would be able to beat Trump after him bragging about grabbing women. Apparently Biden is strong, wise, and looking out for the nation for knowing when to step down.
No talk about continuing business as usual in Gaza. No talk about her policies as a prosecutor. No talk of improving material conditions. Pure liberal idealism. Don’t look at a single thing she’s doing or even said she’ll do. Absolutely manifesting good vibes only.
The terrible candidate that polled 6th in her home state before dropping out before primaries began is a historical world figure
History began yesterday, and we were retroactively correct about it
I hate those fuckers so goddamn much
Holy fuck is Kamala the American Churchill?
She hasn’t done a genocide in India…yet

The Kamala enthusiasm is the most obviously manufactured narrative since the 40 beheaded babies
That doesn’t mean that it’s not going to work. People like to support someone other people support. Most western politicians are off-putting losers and whether one of them is popular or not depends more on who is favoured by the consent manufacturing machine than on their individual merits.

This is true
It will work, deals have been made, kamala the cop will be the next US president.

I want to ask these people if they remember 4 years ago when they were all crying tears of joy at Biden’s inauguration. I don’t think they were necessarily excited to vote for him, but after the inauguration they were all giving us that teary-eyed “I haven’t felt this way about our country since Obama” and “We finally have a country again.” How did that work out?
While we’re at it I ALSO want to ask these people if they remember 8 years ago when they were all fawning over JD Vance’s book as the skeleton key that explains the rise of Trump
As much as I agree with you, targeted media’s purpose is getting people to vote in their favor. Given the condition of the average American political environment where less than half of the eligible population actually votes, the vibes maintain tiny attention spans. The game fucking sucks
Are these callers stupid, evil, or both?
Stupid. Stupid by a mile they’re so fucking dumb even the hosts talk to their callers like little babies
pure liberal idealism
Are we surprised? They’re as brainwormed as the chuds.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
he can only debate a dementia patient.
Man, it’s so depressing over in the lib verse… Top comments are All about how they need to steel themselves against the Harris negativity sure to come, that all negativity is astroturf, to have faith and
the fascism away!I just can’t, my peeps
They have a brief window where leftists haven’t consolidated critiques of their chosen one so they’re trying to spend that time inoculating people. I saw someone on mastodon try to be all “watch out for the VP critique - it’s the next thing people are going to try to use to justify not voting for her” just nakedly trying to get out ahead of a Josh Shapiro pick.
It’s probably a strategic maneuver, but I hope it’s actually because he’s taking a turn for the worse, and the republicans are also going to have to awkwardly shuffle him off for some random candidate. It would be so funny.
No way the republicans can change him, the chuds would probably set fire to the party
I know, wouldn’t that be a hoot?

lol, I wonder how many oblivious folk will go prepared to vote for Biden and get upset that he’s not on their ballot
Libs are so braindead. I helped a bit with a candidate running against Ronny Jackson in TX and was following Jackson’s Twitter feed religiously. So many people told him they were voting for Beto instead. Beto was running against Abbott.

He’s terrified of what could be, unburdened by what was
If Kamala/staff had any sense, they could just keep talking about how scared Trump is to debate her. Fill up the news cycles with Trump losing his shit and her just laughing at his Freedom Social posts. She’d be able to blunt a bit of the negative press for being a younger pro-genocide candidate.

Dang, I actually wanted this debate to happen lol.

rfk is polling high enough and is on the ballot in enough states now that he meets the eligibility criteria for the next debate
kamala should announce that she’ll debate rfk if trump doesn’t show up, i bet trump would change his mind and join in then
“Eligibility requirements” are a joke, they’ll add some loophole to the rules at the last minute to lock out third-party candidates
“Sorry folks, the Election Parliamentarian says so.”
Ah, well. Nevertheless
Why? He didn’t bother with the republican debates
the only positive thing about presidential debates is that both war criminals are in the same place and one minecraft TNT block should do
Fake gamer detected! The blast radius of a TNT block would never vaporize both candidates! Now let me show you the 40000 block redstone contraption I’ve constructed that will, given time, slowly push a block of cobblestone into each candidate’s hitbox and trigger a glitch causing a small amount of fall damage. In 5 or 6 hours, they’re cooked, bay-bee!
BIG WET COWARD
For a WWE hall of fame heel to turn down a match like is this a sad. I get we can’t stay on top forever but this hurts a bit
It’s a classic weasel heel bit to talk a big game and then slink away from a match when the opponent shows they want the smoke. “You actually thought I would give you a match against me on cable TV? Here in Trailer Trash Town, Tennessee?? Naw, these people don’t deserve to see that!”
Oh damn, that is a pretty good bit.
