Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Remember in the primary where she inexplicably had two campaign headquarters, with two campaign managers? One was her sister, one was an actual experienced campaign manager, and they fought and didn't coordinate the whole time?

Her presidency, if it happens, is gonna be a trainwreck

You're inadvertently selling me on a chaos Kamala ballot here, depends on the VP I guess

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Which chaos god does Kamala worship?

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

All of them, just to be safe both-sides

Running for us president really is kinda like becoming the everchosen isnt it?

Slaanesh. Obviously not in the most famous way volcel-kamala but she pretty much has every other path of worship covered. Like shes constantly high/drunk and tortured people as top-cop

[–] Breath_Of_The_Snake@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Her failing upwards constantly has strong “just as planned” vibes

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can't wait to see her do diplomacy with other world leaders.

[–] Teekeeus@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

With normal civilized countries it'll be a disaster, but the europeans will be sure to bend over backwards for her like the good little dogs they are

queen victoria could have had three lobotomies and the empire would still stand

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

every time someone mentions queen victoria I think of this Mitchell and Webb sketch where she breaks decorum over the smell of linden trees

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

she almost prevented the colonization of britain by america. the lindens are why brexit happened

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Maya Harris, potential future US ambassador to the UN

lmao

[–] Magjee@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

That primary campaign didn't even get to Iowa

[–] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's like Amazon levels of turnover.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago

I'm curious what the turnover rate is historically, VPs office seems like a perfect place to work for 2 years then leave for either something cushy or that plays 5 times as much.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is so overdramatic, you guys act like kamala is some sort of toxic girlboss cop or something

[–] homicidalrobot@lemm.ee 9 points 1 month ago

In 2011 she effectively kept private prisons in power in california, by successfully opposing a supreme court ruling that required california to reduce its prison population. It's a huge issue that's going to swing a lot of voters away, so even confirmed blue voters (me) have ethical issues with her specifically.

Personally hoping J.B. Pritzker somehow rallies 300 delegates; he's low-scandal, has a great history with long-term job creation focus, and he looks like a soft doughy cookie.

[–] wax_worm_futures@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

More revolving-door presidential cabinets! MORE!

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's nothing personnel, sweaty

[–] highduc@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Sweaty instead of sweetie killed me 🤣

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not even a story about how Kamala is a terrible girl boss can convince me to read The National Review.

[–] mar_k@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

lol i think trump had similar levels

[–] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)
