Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

      I never thought I’d see the day, that he is on the backfoot. Kamala has him shook.

      In the span of a week I’ve gone from doom scrolling to excitement. I hope the Dems don’t fuck it up.

        While I do agree I also want to make it clear I’m not expecting a revolution if Kamala is elected. I’m excited for the chance to get off the back foot and hope our country can start making progress again. It may be cynical, but I pretty much expect second term Obama again.

        For more information on what I’m talking about check out FD Signifier’s video about Kamala. I don’t agree with everything he said, but he has good points.

          I totally agree. I remember all those years ago and Kamala was too conservative for me, but after nearly 10 years of this I am humbled. She will be status quo leaning towards green policies, but not a democratic socialist revolutionary. I’m still fucking excited! Maybe the most I have been since I could vote.

          As I read your first paragraph I was reflecting on FD Signifier’s vid.

          He makes you think and he makes solid points. Only found him recently, but I enjoy his stuff. B side and otherwise.

            I also only found him recently because I normally don’t go to YouTube for that kind of content. He just popped up in my feed one day because of a video about Drake (side note, Kendrick vs. Drake ruined the feed I had going, lol) and I’ve been a fan since then. I have actually contemplated getting Nebula just to get similar content that isn’t controlled by big brother Google.

        It truly is amazing. A little over a week now and if Kamala isn’t the favorite she soon will be. Money, enthusiasm and volunteers ramping at unreal speed. Fast

        His numbers with Repubs aren’t changing unless some other guy is anointed Dear Leader. His numbers with swing voters are what matter.
