Harris hires Obama campaign veterans to join 2024 effort, replacing Biden loyalists

Get it queen

I’m just surprised there is such a thing as a “Biden loyalist”.

I'm just surprised that "Biden loyalist" and "Obama loyalist" isn't a venn diagram consisting of a circle.
They consist of the die-hard Biden dead-enders you used to see all over Lemmy just a month ago.
- Nah. Most of those types just didn't see the point of division. Now the divisiveness is not backing Harris.

So needed. I felt like we lost the modern edge we had with Obama's campaign.

Fucking good. Those hacks covered up Biden's very relevant age-related issues that everyone could see, especially the swing voters, and tried to drive that vehicle into a brick wall to the detriment of the country. They should be blacklisted, too.

Good bot

Smart. I wouldn't touch Biden anything after his team hid his rapid decline.

You heard from who? Any evidence any of that is even remotely true?
- ok first of all, i did not say this DID happen, i said this was how I personally (a nobody with no influence) (stated for the sake of making conversation with fellow nobodies) chose to envision something which had allegedly happened.
  The things that WERE actually alleged,
  I heard of from The Majority Report with Sam Seder.
  THEY heard it from a Politico article.
  Politico claims they cross-referenced the statements of 22 people who requested to remain anonymous to protect their positions from retaliation.
  truth is, it would be equally as verifiable if the story were that a time traveling extraterrestrial cyborg wizard from the future teleported before joe and sent him on a spirit quest to be visited by the ghosts of past and future presidents who then proceeded to convince him to drop out but I would rather soothe my disdain and contempt for the democrat party (not to be confused with my abject hatred and revulsion for the republican party) by subscribing to the narrative that the people who fucked bernie out of two nominations by arguing in court that they had a right to rig their own primary elections FINALLY might not have gotten their way for once.
Fun fan fiction, but I think we need a paragraph on Bidens remorse, sitting in a dark room, looking at a picture of his late son lit by his screen as he mutters "enough of this malarkey. Let's go" and shoots off those emails.
But alas, it's probably a bit more benign than that, haha
- honestly the moment i read what you wrote it INSTANTLY connected itself seamlessly into my headcanon and it's all right there rendered beautifully in 4k with stirring melodramatic music.
Kamala Harris was the favorite to replace Biden by a fucking light year. She was poised to immediately take over his entire campaign apparatus and his money, which no other candidate could do. Pundits all around were speculating she'd get the nomination, and were widely reporting that Democratic politicians they spoke to also believed that. The only question was whether Biden would endorse her immediately or withhold an endorsement, and he chose to endorse her immediately. I just don't buy anything of what you're saying here.

  even a single day before he dropped out and endorsed her, it was up in the air.
  people i know in-person who didn't see both tweets, when i told them, first immediately reacted with "oh no, now what, they might not endorse kamala, oh god what if they try to give us RFK or something" until i could actually SHOW them that Biden endorsed her. And even then, they were hesitant to believe it.
  It's always easier to say "this was inevitable" after it's already happened.
Holy shit. Source?
- "Trust me bro. I'm Nancy Pelosi."
- Fantasy land and you know it.
- someone else who asked first got my somewhat salty reply first.
  Long story short, Sam Seder got it from Politico who got it from 22 anonymous sources,
  And like "The Room Where It Happens" from Hamilton, we can either throw up our hands, say nobody's willing to go on the record, so nobody will ever know... or see the results, and entertain ourselves as long as we're mindful that it's entertainment and not fact.
  The only thing that's factual is that Politico SAYS people talked to them.
I believe it.
I think Harris is as good a candidate as any Democrat, but Biden always treated her like a work experience student. Because he’s an old racist.
- I don't think Biden has a particular issue with Harris being qualified. He did endorse her within hours of bowing out, after all, and in so doing, cut off everybody who was salivating at the idea of challenging her for the nomination at the knees.
- Well seeing as a mod removed the comment and also I was being a gremlin about it, don't actually believe it "for real"--shit is stressful, we need to blow off steam sometimes, it's okay to mindfully indulge in a little personal amusement from time to time, but it has to be mindful and I didn't state it mindfully enough.
  If spite motivates me to do the right thing (defeat trump, kill the Republican party's organization and viability for the future, force the Democrat party to split to fill the void, repeat while continuously purging chuds from their positions of office while promoting progressives and socialists) then I will embrace spite. But even then, I have to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't change the actual goal.
  Furthermore, if you can find a motivation better for you than spite, it's highly advisable. The difference between poison and medicine is both the dosage and whether the disease it's killing is worse. Make no mistake, I'm pretty fucking diseased >_> but I refuse to stop existing just for the sake of others' comfort.
  Be better than me
