Whats happening. The dems are bantering. This isn't how this works, they're supposed to roll over and disappoint us. They know that. That's been their entire strategy. Is this what optimism feels like?

MODERATORS
They've been doing so unbelievably well...I can almost hear the other shoe whistling as it falls through the air. When the Dems fuck this one up it's gonna hurt.
Even when things look good we have to assume they’ll blow it despite the democrats dominating elections for the last 8 years. But don’t let that stop you I guess.

I've always hated how Dems try to keep decorum and fight with one arm tied behind their back, while Republicans shit sling and fight dirty. I'm glad Dems are finally growing some balls and calling out these idiots with their own attack strategies
And yet, unlike Republicans, they aren't resorting to dirty tricks and grotesque lies. It's really nice to see this middle ground where they aren't just sucking it up but they also aren't going down to the Republicans' level.
"when they go low, we kick them in the nuts, respectfully"
I don't remember Kamala being this way when she was campaigning in 2020. It seems she's fucking fed up with the GOP's bullshit like the rest of us.
I don't think he's fighting dirty. He's just being clever and on the attack. Using their own attack strategies would be using racial slurs, political violence, and theocratic-fascist dog whistles. Harris and Waltz are just punking them, and it's great.
It really highlights how decrepit and often inept the Biden campaign was.
With project 2025, the stakes are higher than the rich getting richer.
But that's been retconned to have nothing to do with Trump now that it turns out to be so unpopular. Come on, keep up with the reeducation plan. Oceania was at war with Eastasia.

He is a sassy bitch and i love it. This is how you handle these freaks.
He's a former teacher. Checks out.
As a professional freak, we don't want em
Freak works the same as weird. If you accept the label, you're the good kind.

Oh this is sofa king funny
It’s been su-chez long time since I’ve giggled this much over a political soundbite
I didn't expect such sex-shunal talk from Walz.

GOP's collective brain cell might implode over whether to be sad that walz is savagely roasting their guy, or wtf to even do, because they hate vance too
I completely lost it when he said that. 😂
I released several dying bird noises. It was lovely.
Exhaled somewhat more forcefully that usual

JD reminds me of a dumber Eric Trump if that is even possible.
You mean like Donnie Jr?
Eric might LOOK more dumb, but Junior is definitely the biggest idiot of the two..
When I first saw the ticket together, I thought Vance was chosen because they were able to convince Donald Trump that Vance was one of his kids after all. Trump did get around back in the day, maybe JD's mom was a Miss America contestant or something.
But it's also likely that Trump's brain is mush, and he is convinced Vance is Eric Trump with a beard.
I think that Vance got chosen because it'd be the fewest letters you'd have to change on your Trump pence 2020 flag
~~PE~~VANCE
No joke, I think Trump thinks single-syllable names are more powerful, and ruled out anyone with more than one syllable in their name.

JD Vance: "This is an immature lie. We would never target the sexuality of other people in such a demeaning fashion. I am a Christian man, and I have only had reproductive sex with my Indian wife, who may not look like a proper American but that is not a problem because she is, believe me. The lie needs to stop, we would never lie."
(God I hope this happens. I really do)

I loved watching this speech not only for Walz, but also for Kamala's proud face and reactions. She knows she made the best possible choice, and her happiness was palapable.
Someone please make sure JD knows that Walz said “get off the couch” and not “get the couch off”.
OMG, this is so GD funny.
"Apologies, I misspoke. If he's willing to get off on the couch."
Have to admit this is quite funny.
Trump and Vance have no problems with slinging petty insults constantly. It's good to see the Dems hit back like this. Call the bastards what they are.
