Time will tell,

Let me quote your VP - Kamala Harris:

"The significance of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it, there is great significance to the passage of time... there is such great significance to the passage of time."

Maybe once the passage of time has passed, we will see what the significance of the passage of time entails, but we will need to wait until the significance of the passage of time has passed to see what significant changes have passed since the passage of time has changed and see what the significance changes are - right!
Let me know when your camp has finally decided on whatever stupid line of attack they think will actually stick, because I can guarantee that "Harris is more incoherent than the dementia patient who shits his pants" ain't it. Americans are beyond ready to move past candidates who are older than dirt.

thats not what he said also if what you say were true so the Dem party was not united and could not beat Trump under Biden ? lol ok
Obviously not, Sherlock. Post debate, the majority of Democratic voters were no longer confident in Biden's ability to beat Trump, as indicated by multiple internal party polls. He also fell out of favor with the vast majority of Democratic party leaders following his conference call with them. To Biden's credit, he dropped out at the most strategically opportune time as well, after Republicans had already blown their load targeting him specifically at the RNC.

he has done a great job, the country is stronger, the economy has recovered, inflation has subsided, he has supported our allies around the globe

almost nothing could have been done better - what people have to understand is he doesn't have a magic wand and post covid recovery was always going to be tough

best president in my lifetime
and it could have been bernie sanders
the foreign policy could have been more than feeble half-measures to try and shut up lefties about how children are dying
the healthcare policy could have been aimed at the sun, it might have hit the moon
student debt relief could have been a focus
the covid economic relief could have been more than a token payment
executive orders to tamp down on corruption could have been made
the border travesty could have been stopped instead of quietly remaining from the trump years
the margin of victory certainly would have been larger based on all polling, so more could have been done in general

yes, biden was the best democratic president since carter
but he personally quashed possibly the best democratic president since fdr
after eating decades of shit, i'm grateful i didn't have to eat as much this time
but i'm still angry that the less shit man prevented me from receiving a chocolate milkshake

Biden did not explain why he stepped down. Which seems kind of important.
are you waiting for biden to rock up to the press gallery going "i have been diagnosed with dementia, i thought my deterioration was slow enough that i could comfortably win a second term, but after humiliating myself in front of the american people, i lost the support of the party elites, who began a campaign of escalating press pressure designed to force me out. i'm stepping down to accede to their wishes, which reflect the popular wishes of the american people."
everyone knows that's the reason
nobody's saying it

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote in a letter posted Sunday to his X account.

Nearly 30 minutes after he delivered the news that he was folding his campaign, Biden threw his support behind Harris.

“Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year,” he said in another post on X. “Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump.”

Oh, I'm sure you took Trump's words to heart when he said the following...

"I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them."​

But seriously, just read it. How does one not know about it, then says they disagree with some of it, then to follow up how they think some things are abysmal, only to wish them luck....

How can someone like him, who has so many of his top aides involved in Project 2025, claim to not know anything about it?
What aides are involved in it? Nobody on the right even talks about it. Every mention of Project 2025 comes from the left. Trump has stated his platform is Agenda 47. Once again, the left takes the word over the gaslight media from anonymous sources over direct quotes. And y'all keep getting burned just like you did over Charlottesville.

The answer is ZERO, and the funny thing about that is that the people that whine on about Trump and the end of democracy don't even have anything to say about this. They are quite happy for their overlords to step all over their "democracy" when it suits their narrative and just ignore that their rights are being trampled on, they are OK with assassinating their opponents yet if the same thing was to happen to their overlords they would never stop complaining. Double standards, hypocrisy, lack of self awareness and contempt for anyone or anything that doesn't align with their world views is the normal for these people.

The funniest thing is, they (democrats on this thread) are now quite happy to see their leader "Biden" (The guy they elected to be president) basically thrown under the bus in a coup when he was no longer useful to them and are now supporting a total idiot with zero accomplishments as a VP as if she is the new messiah. It's funny how they don't bring up her negative track record - but don't worry though because in the next few months ahead I will let them know exactly who they are voting for and what she's done. (including lying to the American public and hiding that she knew dementia Joe was unfit to lead).

Still I am happy the Dems have been basically forced to have her at the top of their ticket - she's despised even more than biden was by voters and it's going to be a landslide victory for Republicans.
The Dems don't care about democracy or rights or even minorities. All they care about is power. That is what we are seeing right now. They will do whatever it takes to protect their system of systems and many Republican politicians and lobbyists are willing to help them in this endeavor.

The leftists on this forum are just useful idiots parroting the gaslight media's propaganda. In a way, it's funny to watch them go against everything they used to say they support and fight for.

Elections could be cancelled this year and the leftists on here will say it's to protect 'muh democracy'.

Finally you're admitting that Harris is incoherent and talks more shit than dementia Joe, something we've know for years.

It was just a few weeks ago the left was saying age is just a number and that Biden was "sharp as a tack", "at the top of his game" etc, and now that you've overthrown him in a coup you are making age a thing rather than the ability to do the job. I do love it when the left keep contradicting themselves over and over and expect nobody to notice.

The post above has the full context, not just a short clip to make it seem like something else was said - try harder.
Lol, man that's either some horrible gaslighting or some amazingly cringe coping.

We all saw the entire press conference. He was spitballing his moronic ideas to people who knew what they're talking about. You can tell that anything explained to him beforehand was done at a 5th grade level so he wouldn't be completely lost.

Remember, Trump stated that he loves the poorly educated. They're his base and we have a number of them in this thread.

We literally have Trump saying contradicting things in that one post about Project 2025, saying one thing, then saying something contradictive right after. He's at the point of lying that he can't even keep his claims straight for a few seconds. This isn't from an anonymous source. This is from his own account on his social media platform.

And of course no one on the right talks about Project 2025 just like how they won't talk about Trump's age when they were so focused on attacking Biden for his age. It's all about redirecting away and attacking the other side, which is what they have been doing all this time rather than focusing on the so-called policies their party represent "for the good of the nation". If they were to actually go into talking about Project 2025 that's coming from their side, they'd lose their support of the public. They're focused so much on attacking the other side that they were oblivious to the possibility of a change from the left that might cost them the election. The moment Biden stepped down and endorsed Harris, the folks of the right that had some brains went into a panic, while the others without brains continued their attacks, including racist remarks.

The Dems don't care about democracy or rights or even minorities. All they care about is power.
Such a weird thing to say when we just recently had someone in power on the left....... step down from the upcoming election.

He's clarified it in other statements, but you'd never know because you lack the curiosity to go find out.

We don't talk about project 2025 because Trump doesn't support it. I don't know of any Republican politician who does. Even your beloved media agrees.

Biden was forced out by the Democrat elites who run the party. The same elites who withheld $90 million in donations after the disastrous debate. Screw what the voters want.

If Trump actually wanted to distance himself from Project 2025, Vance was 100% the wrong pick for VP. He wrote the foreword to a book authored by Project 2025's primary creator, and lavished it with praise. There is no escaping the ticket's connection to P2025 now.

The overwhelming majority of voters from both parties want younger candidates representing them. Trump would also step down if he gave a shit about the future of his party, but he does not.

So, where did he clarify it? On TruthSocial? It's funny how you said he disavows it, and I show proof of something from his own platform, but instead of proving where he clarifies it, you just turn this back on me saying I lack the curiosity to find out. It's like someone making a claim, and then telling everyone else to go look for it, begging the question if it exists in the first place. This proof of clarification and for it referencing his original statement to demonstrate that clarification is on you, not me.
We don't talk about project 2025 because Trump doesn't support it. I don't know of any Republican politician who does.
I already pointed out how he said he wishes good luck to it. He would have condemned it fully if he didn't support it.

"Screw what the voters want", eh? Does that mean you think a president should be voted based on popular vote than electoral vote?

Hey democratic elections only matter when it means my guy wins

Of course popular vote is dumb and Trump should have won 2016 when he lost by 3 million votes
