    Sh sh shshhhhhhh.

    We have months, fucking months, where we can trickle this out to the public consciousness. Just wait.

    The timing is needed. We need to ensure that all the Democrats are behind someone (Biden or Harris IMO) before we make such pushes for the final election. We need to either reconsolidate support for Biden, or get the Democrats to choose Harris (or some other reasonable pick) before making our push vs Trump / JD Vance.

    There’s so much gold here. This is an incomprehensively bad pick for Trump team with regards to the Election, even if JD Vance and Trump are likely aligned to do horrible things together if they actually get the win.

    But first things first. Reconsolidate Democrats into some banner is priority #1.

      I really don’t get this pick. It’s so bad. A religious conservative like Pence or a token black guy would have made far more sense. I suppose it shows that Trump cares about loyalty above all else.

        Its the Hitler / Gobbels pick.

        Trump is doubling down upon how he wants his administration to be run. Not trying to build a coalition anymore. Therein lies the weakness, Trump’s base is going to be smaller than ever before.

        This increases the damage if Trump actually becomes President though. So its more important than ever that we stop this. But the ever-shrinking base is quite evident.

          Exactly, and for all the whining about Biden’s age, Trump is only one Big Mac away from keeling over too. I doubt many Americans want President Vance.
