coming back from my extended hiatus just to smirk at yall

This aged well.

Go fuck yourself, and your condescension.

Harris' takeover has been an an absolute success, but anyone claiming they knew it'd work out this way is lying or delusional. Just because we hit the low percentage chance that it all worked out doesn't mean people were wrong for thinking it was most likely a bad idea because all available history and information basically assured that it was.

That said, anyone that got vitriolic about it (on either side, tbf) can get bent. This is all uncharted waters right now. Being a dick about it either way isn't helping anything. Let's not pretend to know that anything is certain.

Raise your hand if you were called a Russian bot for daring to question Biden

I’ve already apologized here, but I’ll do it again. I’m sorry. I was wrong. I didn’t think there was enough time to generate the support needed. I’m really impressed by Kamala’s campaign effectiveness.

I was wrong, and happy to be so now.

Yeah, I admit, that was me. I think the rapid political cycle in news made me think the election was closer than it was.

I'll take the L.

I legitimately thought there'd be no way for them to be able to campaign enough in just a few months and I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

I was definitely in the camp of “Biden shouldn’t drop out” not because I wanted Biden to be President, but mostly because the people who wanted him to drop out just kinda hand waved away what happened after he dropped out.

They tossed about a few names that they favored and Harris wasn’t really on that list. People gave her a pass or offered some soft criticism, but she wasn’t on people’s short list.

While I’m very glad that Harris has really shone, I think that surprised a lot of people, there was still the opportunity for the DNC to fuck everything up and put together a ticket that would have been underwhelming. Luckily that didn’t happen.

I think this is an incredibly lucky “I told ya so”, the gamble worked out, but IMO it could have gone the other way far too easily.

I actually had someone go back to one of my comment chains explaining that we needed to push Biden to drop and apologize for their negativity and hostility towards the notion.

I think that is an absolute rarity of self awareness from anyone and I'll take the win of knowing there is at least 1 person out there that walked away with a change positive mindset.

....Wish it was more... But taking the win.

Yeah, I also was very vocal about this. The democrats that attacked this idea were fucking mean about it.

I was saying that before he dropped, I was wrong, you were right. Brilliant even. This has been not only the right move, but a huge shot in the arm for voter turnout and engagement. We would have lost this if everyone listened to me. I'll be more open minded going forward. Thank you.

My feeling right after the Biden-Trump debate was pretty much the same as my feeling after the Harris-Trump debate: I do not understand what the American electorate wants, and I can't predict their behavior. I was horrified by Biden's performance, but I couldn't say if that would matter. I was really pleased with Harris' performance, and I'm glad that it seems to be pushing things in the right direction, but by Odin's beard I cannot fathom how Trump could have a political career at all, let alone what it will take to really change the minds of anyone who is still undecided at this point. I'll take what I can get, but I can't predict the mental workings of undecided voters in Arizona, Georgia, or Wisconsin.

drop .... out? drop dead? drop trow? drop a new single?

DROP WHAT????

She’s hasn’t won yet.

Anyone who said Biden should drop was right as fuck. I was doubtful that it would work out for Kamala due to how racist people can be but it's going so well so far.

I'm positive I didn't yell at you but we should listen to you more often is my take.

No lol

I apologize. I was still, am still, very discomforted at the stakes riding on this election, and what it'll mean to future female candidates if both female nominations get trump presidential terms.

But I always look ahead with hope

I was wrong, and I'm sorry. Are we good now?

Pinging varyk

I hope we can at least agree this was a good move and we're in a much better position now to beat Trump

Jokes on you, everyone still hates me because I wanted a primary because I knew Harris would ignore my base requirement of preventing genocide.

Also because she's still pretty suboptimal compared to other candidates imo.

Just a reminder, it isn't over until all the votes are counted.

I'll sit here and wait for mine too.

Actually nah. I’ve acknowledged I was wrong enough. Get over it, the only thing worse than a sore loser is a sore winner.

Great way to split a party that just found renewed unity, get on my blocklist and stay there forever.

You want an apology from having internet discussions relating to uncharted political waters? Why?

This is equivalent to "well I didn't wear my seatbelt and I still lived.

Trends are trends.

They'll never admit it. In fact, they'll claim they knew it all along.
