Political Memes

I figured there was a 1% chance of Biden dropping out, but also thought that Kamala would be a better candidate than him, but was also skeptical that Kamala would be able to beat Trump.

So....basically wrong on the first, correct on the second... yet to be determined on the third.

I did not expect the Democrats to actually do anything that would actually help themselves, figuring that they are far too ossified and out of touch.

Currently the Trump and the Republicans seem to stun locked by the 'they're just weird' angle... which is amazing to me in two ways:

One, that after basically 3 decades of spewing lies and hate and insults against their opponents in the form of coordinated talking points to respond to basically every political development, they cannot handle the mildest possible form of this being used against them.

Two, that the Democrats finally actually collectively did something 'aggressive' rhetorically. Years and years of 'taking the high road' and acting morally superior to their opponents... they finally actually did something (collectively) that makes them not seem like hoity toity cloistered intellectual snobs.

That, and ~~Mike~~ Tim Walz is actually surprisingly relatable and charismatic.
