Men in speedos 

So far the only attacks they (republicans) have on Kamala are that she wants to ban plastic straws and that they don’t like how she laughs 

like…i’d rather have a president that can laugh and shows some humanity than a rambling old man who stands for nothing but himself 

oh stranglove ur first flop y no one engaging...

Far too soon to say who's won (or even who is winning). Kamala just raised $100 million in largely grassroots donations. The party has banded behind her. And all the attention is on her. 
 
Keep in mind, no polls have yet been conducted with Kamala as the main choice for the Democrats (all of them were in the context of all in which you came Biden still being the presumptive nominee). 
 
Only a fool and a contrarian would want to claim this election is decided one way or another. 

lowkey want Pete B. for Kamala's VP

much to think about

As described in the OP, Kamala has gained the support of the majority of Biden’s delegates. She is presumptively the party’s nominee

While we’ve had quite a few threads for the various events that have already happened this campaign season, we didn’t yet have one for the general election.
 
Former President Donald Trump chose US Senator J.D. Vance to be his running mate at the Republic National Convention on July 18.
 
The majority of the delegates won by President Joe Biden have since pledged to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris at the Democratic National Convention, to be held next month. This makes VP Harris the presumptive Democratic nominee for president.
 
We may not know Harris’ VP pick until the convention, though sources say the following are currently being vetted:
- North Carolina governor Roy Cooper
- Arizona senator Mark Kelly
- Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro
- Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer
- Minnesota governor Tim Walz
- Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker
 
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is also seeking the presidency, running as an independent. Neither he nor his running mate, billionaire Nicole Shanahan, have any prior political experience. Also seeking the presidency as an independent is philosopher Cornel West, along with his running mate Melina Abdullah. Jill Stein will be the Green Party’s nominee, having also been the party’s nominee in 2016 and 2012. Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat will represent the Libertarian Party on the ballot.
 
The election will be held on November 5, 2024.

I mean we already know charli will be performing at her inauguration they've been hinting at a collab. She'll probably perform the chart topping hits God Bless the mean girls and the Von Dutch × National Anthem remix ft lana del rey
 
 

when kamala wins can charli xcx to do this for her inauguration except charli performs 360 as a remix called 538 & kamala comes out by joining the performance wearing a matching cunty brat green outfit while holding this lana flag

I refuse to believe there's only 2 shows left

Part of it is the religious angle. Many say he’s been chosen by god  and that the fact that the bullet from his would-be assailant narrowly missed his head only further solidifies that. As well as being instrumental in overturning Roe v. Wade.
 
It’s hilarious because Trump represents just about everything imaginable that goes against “Christian” values. Yet the Christian right almost unanimously glorifies him. 

“It is the weirdest thing to me: Democrats say that it is racist to believe—well, they say it’s racist to do anything. I had a Diet Mountain Dew yesterday, and one today. I’m sure they’re probably gonna call that racist, too.”  - JD Vance
Kamala should play Diet Mountain Dew at her events now

I think so. We were really close to doing so in 2016, but a historically disliked candidate with baggage was running against a surging populist. Not to mention she was horrible at campaigning, acted like an elitist and chose a terribly boring VP candidate. 
 
Kamala is undoubtedly an upgrade, especially with her prosecutorial background. Assuming she doesn’t hold back, she’ll take Trump to town in a debate. If he’s even willing to debate her.

The thing is, social media may seem hugely influential, but it often amplifies voices, opinions, etc. that don’t reflect the majority. 
 
For example, it seemed like Bernie Sanders was hugely famous (especially online) and destined for the democratic nomination in 2020. We all know what happened. 
 
As much as we may be in tune with social media, younger generations, etc., it’s really the older people that vote more. Younger Americans are understandably fed up with this system and many choose to not bother voting, or vote for a third party candidate out of protest or frustration. 
 
The Clintons had been despised for what, 15-20 years back in 2016? Kamala has only been in the public eye for about four years. Honestly, even in that time frame, she wasn’t in the spotlight as much as some vice presidents are. 
 
The U.S. is so polarized that I’d estimate 90% of the voting population has their mind made up, regardless of candidate, but for their “team.” It’s the 5-10% of the middle/unaffiliated that sways the election. Most national elections come down to a handful of votes (perhaps a few hundred thousand) in 3-6 states. Because the electoral college is stupid. 
 
This is the 3rd presidential cycle in a row where both candidates are more unfavorable than favorable. 
 
Anyway, I don’t think that Kamala would be much better than Clinton. Nor do I think she’s worse. Hillary was very bad at campaigning. She largely ignored swing states, where she should have focused more energy. She came off as very elite and pretentious. It’s no wonder Trump won in 2016. 
 
Kamala may seem weak in some ways and her perception by some progressive voters is undeniable, but I don’t think she’s any worse than Biden - an aging, old man who’s clearly losing it. She’s stronger, younger and has the prosecutorial background, that I think would give her a huge edge when going up against Trump. 
 
Assuming Biden steps down from the race, it’s going to inject a lot of energy and excitement into the contest, by default. If they were to skip over her, when she’s literally next in line, it would probably backfire. 
 
I say they put her on the top of the ticket and pick another younger democrat for VP. Also recall that Hillary picked one of the most boring, old white men in all of politics for her VP candidate… please don’t make that mistake again.

I think this is going to be huge. In the early aftermath, many are throwing their support behind Kamala, including Biden, prominent politicians and even the Clintons. If Democrats align in strong support leading up to the DNC, the process will be easy and will project confidence. Stand united.
 
The energy and momentum will surely sway away from Trump. The news cycle in the coming days is going to be all about Biden and Harris. The ridiculous RNC will barely be a footnote. 

It seems most likely that the VP pick will be from a swing state. Don’t expect Newsom or AOC. I just hope it’s an exciting pick and not a repeat of 2016 when Hillary chose Tim Kaine 
 
This is exactly what the democrats need. Excitement. And how about all those people who said they didn’t want Trump or Biden? Now they have another viable option.
