I knew this was coming bc I’ve been getting Kamala Harris/Taylor Swift remixes on my TikTok algorithm. And the algorithm always knows.

the only large scale (not Q-anon) criticism I ever heard of Biden from the independents and moderates who decide elections have been that he’s “too old.” Therefore, taking age out of the equation, I think any of the Democrats have a better chance.

THANK FUCK. Time for Democrats to run a historic two women ticket with Harris and Whitmer

Melania is probably smiling again for the first time since Biden’s inauguration

they would bankrupt the country spending it on vape juice and jet fuel

Somewhere in Mar-A-Lago, ketchup just splattered against the walls.

Harris is probably the front runner (and if I understand correctly, a ticket with her name is the only one that can access Biden’s campaign funds), but I’m guessing in terms of major players - Newsom may jump in too. Although that would be a mess.

I’m guessing the party elites that didn’t want Biden also don’t want Harris 💀😭

Ok good but fuck why isn’t he rallying behind Kamala the next few months are gonna be a MESS

Didn’t a few thousand ppl write in Harambe during the 2016 election 💀

While I still think she's generally disliked, I've seen public perception around her soften considerably since 2016, and I always thought her trying to get into office post-Obama was a bad move. The chances of her having won 8 years post-8 year of Dems controlling the WH were very slim (and almost historically, post-WW2, unprecedented to have a single party control the WH for 16 years straight). She should currently be running for re-election in the very slightly better timeline after Bernie Sanders lost to Trump in 2016, and Trump lost to Hillary in 2020.

I also think people are judging Kamala far too soon. She's within striking distance to Trump (~46% to his 47.5) with 0 Presidential campaigning. I am almost certain that once she starts holding large scale rallies, and once she comes out running, she can close the gap - if she plays her cards right, and if the party gets behind her. She needs to be tough on Trump and Vance's reproductive rights beliefs (probably the biggest wedge issue right now), and imo pick a VP that comes from a swing state (either Whitmer or Shapiro - Beshear is great, but he's not gonna make a difference in key areas of the Electoral College, he appeals to a base that is already voting blue).

I think ppl are forgetting how much Kamala changed her image since becoming VP. She was a killer in the senate, and she rose to notoriety for her tough line of questioning. Since becoming VP, she has softened her image a lot, but I think we may be reminded of who she was back in 2019 if she becomes the dem nominee. At this point, however, I’m uncertain Biden actually will step aside.

Big if true - but should've happened back in March/April.

This is my ranking except Red and Rep are swapped lol

TTPD is her best work. The ratio of amazing songs to mid songs is better than any of her other albums. The standard version is skipless and the Anthology has some of her strongest lyrics (Peter, Chloe et Al., How Did It End, The Prophecy)

I hope we get a proper I Can Do It… music video, but I have a feeling if we even get anything at all it’ll just be a professionally recorded version of the live performance

I’m confused as to what this thread is? Is it 2 threads merged into one? Is it a general 2024 election thread? A TikTok ban thread? A Trump thread?

I don't mean to come off preachy but I genuinely think this Tweet is in poor taste and Lana herself would be offended/bothered by it edit: to be clear, no issue with you personally @grandpas glass, just with the Tweet itself

Totally agree. A lot of us were bullied in school, but we just chose to over share on LanaBoards dot com, instead of plotting assassinations. it’s not even an explanation, imo, much less an excuse.

Perhaps because most of you guys don’t vote for the actual PM, but just their party - so there isn’t either a halo effect or much of a cult of personality?

Maybe I am just a cynic, but I absolutely have a feeling that Trump will be painted in a more positive light historically than is accurate to how we feel about him today. In 40-50 years, he will be an "American Populist" President who won two non-consecutive terms, renegotiated NAFTA and a bunch of trade deals to the US's benefit, and had a very pretty and elegant foreign wife - and everything else will be seen as overreaction and political nonsense. So in a sense, I agree with @Strangelove, I just don't think it's accurate or true. A similar thing is happening with Reagan, where he is being portrayed as much more competent and with it than he was during his Presidency. His actual approval ratings where quite low throughout his first term, comparative to what was standard back then - and his image only started to greatly improve after he left office.

Apparently the victim who died was shielding his daughter from the bullet 😭😭😭😭 RIP that’s so sad, this shouldn’t happen anywhere in the world - especially in a “democracy”

I missed the first few mins but basically he said they need to come together as a nation, not make assumptions about the assailants motives or affiliations, and that he’s giving the FBI every resource to investigate this and will share those findings with the American public.
