They’re scared.
- Scared and Senile, good luck Republicans lol
  
  Old people are notorious for making their way to the polls. Attacking Trumps age must be done carefully as the wrong statement will make grandpa and grandma run to vote for trump.
- Maybe they also should try running a younger candidate.
- they scared hohoho
The laugh. I FUCKING KNEW it. They are so predictable. They did the same thing with Hillary, too, BTW. It's almost as if they hate women.
- They do. That's why they want to own them rather than encouraging them to be themselves.
That’s the best they got?

Assholes.

Edit: worse. Uncreative assholes.
Republicans have to have known that running against Harris was a possibility from the instant someone as old as Biden picked her for VP.

This is what they came up between then and now. They're flailing because they either have nothing or have no idea what they can get to stick.
- Kamala has notoriously been one of the most invisible VPs in recent memory. I actually think that could work in her favor. What in her record from the last 4 years is even attackable? She can campaign on all of Biden's wins as his VP, but all of her negatives are from before she was VP and are well known by now. She won't lose voters over those things at this point.
  
  Her bad stints as VP are mostly thing Democrats might complain about but pretty much knew were impossible. She got saddled with voting rights and the border, but without any power to even try to do anything. It was just to keep Biden away from the no-win issues.
  
  There was this thing where Biden put her in charge of some border stuff, she flew to South America to tell people not to come. I'm sure they'll attack her using that, but nobody really cares.

  I agree. Biden had downward momentum. Harris does not. Him leaving the race disrupts what Republicans were doing.
- Don't underestimate these character attacks. All it took was one "Yeah!" for Howard Dean to slip.
I'm surprised they aren't saying she's a slut like most of the Trump supporters are on Twitter right now. This is what Democrats need... A candidate that brings out the worst in the Republican party. They should "leak" that AOC is a top VP choice.
- Oh, there was a poster on Denver Post that kept calling her "heels-up Harris" back around 2020, and for as long as DP still had comments. They'd take down a lot of comments (for instance, mine - they even suspended my account for weeks for using the original name for what the "tea party" called themselves - the teabaggers), but then let disgusting comments like that stay, including threats of violence. And still, the right wing trolls would claim Denver Post was liberal, FFS.
  
  Anyway, yes, they've been claiming she slept her way to the top for a very long time now. It will be nothing new. Meanwhile, their Qbert can be caught giving a guy a handy in a public theater, while vaping and surrounded by children, and say nothing. Obviously Kamala's a Democrat, so must be a slut, but Qbert is a Godly Xtian Upstanding Freedom Bible Lady.
- My republican "friends" are already imagining this and insisting it's true. Lol they're so scared of/attracted to AOC they don't even know what to do with themselves.
I really could not care less about how a person laughs. I'm more concerned about what a person laughs at. Has Trump ever laughed at anything that didn't involve either his own good luck or someone else's misfortune?
- Not fucking likely.
I'm so sick of the new meaning of "drop" being nearly the opposite of the old meaning. Ugh
- I agree, this usage of it was bad.
- So when they said Biden dropped out...?
  
  To drop out is a whole different verb phrase than to drop.
I love it when ad hominem attacks start up... Means A) they're scared, B) they don't have anything else, and/or C) they're too dumb and uncreative to attack anything of substance
She should have every campaign ad wrap up with pictures of Trumps endorsement checks to her previous campaigns.
Something something unity, right? Republicans are hypocritical yet predictable sacks of shit.
I'm sure people would like a convicted felon with a wife who immigrated mostly to get citizenship. A person who responds to school shootings with suggestions to arm teachers, but also advocated for taking away guns. A person who brought in supreme court justices that ruled away freedom and privacy rights and the rule of law for everyone. A person who also gave away to corporations billions and billions but a paltry $1000 cheque to families in the hardest of times. Unless God was a self-serving narcissist I don't see any qualities God would approve of in Trump.

All of the above is much better than someone who laughs.
