I'm just losing my shit at the phrasing here "Southern strategy". Like what the hell dude lol
How will she appeal to racists in the south? Kamala is gonna give n-word passes to every kkkracker who votes for her
Day one. Executive order: you can say the word.
Day two. Press secretary delivers a summary of a memo outlining President Harris's plan to form a federal investigative body to develop a framework to fund a committee to propose legislation to protect abortion rights for non-trans women of color in Ohio suburbs who have received Pell grants and made 10 years of on-time federal student loan payments without interruption (including during the COVID pause).
She is light itself.
Kamala Harris can't do a "Southern strategy" because of one specific reason
Nah we've got intersectional white supremacy now she can do it I believe in her.
She's gonna say the N word on live TV and Kevin Sorbo is going to lose his shit
I keep forgetting he's alive and I wish he would, too. Xena is somehow based queer icon eco-terror mommy and Herakles is.... That.
I wish he'd get stuck in the gravity well of a black hole's event horizon for 300 years
I'm a broken record but I think Georgia could be the whole enchilada. Imagine Kamala wins there but...
-
The GOP with zero evidence says there are "issues" with ballots.
-
What are there non-existent issues? Where's the evidence for these non-existent issues? Of course nothing matters. The GOP is playing games in that state and/or other GOP controlled states. They want to pause and then overturn one or more Kamala wins via the GOP justices on the supreme court.
-
The very second the court says it will review a bullshit case - the GOP might as well demand DC shutdown that day so Trump can have a tickertape victory parade. He's won.
In a state like Georgia I think the chance of GOP fuckery is 100% even if Trump wins there. Whining about Georgia could help the GOP create more chaos in other states.
Georgia’s Republican-controlled State Election Board is trying to give local officials the power to decide on their own whether something untoward happened during the balloting, which could slow the process of identifying the winner.
[...]
At issue this year is whether county election boards in Georgia are free to use their own discretion in certifying election results. The Republican-controlled State Election Board voted 3-2 last month to expand the powers of local officials, enabling them to certify results after having conducted a “reasonable inquiry” into their accuracy. There was no definition of what a "reasonable inquiry" entails.
[...]
But Democrats caution that the new rules could disrupt the hard-and-fast timetable to certify elections in Georgia. Furthermore, local election boards have never had that kind of authority, and they are supposed to perform merely the straightforward task of adding up the vote totals, Democrats argue. If anyone alleges fraud occurred in an election, the proper place to test the claim is the courts, they add.
[...]
A poll conducted last year found that only 22% of Republicans were highly confident that the votes in the 2024 presidential election would be counted accurately, compared with 71% of Democrats.
This sounds very close to how I predicted January 6th lol. So yeah it's prob gonna happen.
The only part I got wrong was expecting the violence to be between counterprotesters and MAGA people and then everyone (correctly) decided to stay home and they actually stormed the capitol lol.
Whatever happens in the elections - the libs will be insufferable. They'll forget or "forget" that in 2021-22 Biden and the dems could have passed federal laws to protect voting and electoral systems. Plus Biden's pick for AG, Merrick Garland, has been a truly terrible choice on voting and everything else. The libs will whine about third party voters and they'll rant with rage that Russia was involved somehow.
If by some miracle the dems win big and GOP fuckery isn't possible - President Democrat and the DC Democrats still won't pass federal laws to protect voting and electoral systems. And Kalama's AG might be Garland 2.0. Time is a flat you know the thing.
They had 4 years to prepare and like always they did NOTHING
