This is no honeymoon, the American "left" will never recover from the Harris/Walz combo; every major base of support (demographic/economic) is covered; Black woman with a jovial heartlandish white man standing behind her is the universal password for the legendary "competent American fascism" software update leftists have been prophesying.

They got this shit locked for at least eight years, Walz is suburbanite catnip and Harris has the identity libs eating out her hands, along with big tech, wallstreet, and the zionist lobby who are now methodically eliminating the last holdouts of the post-2016 nascent left movement

There is no credible avenue of leverage here, the libs can effectively respond to any leftist utterance with accusations of racism, misogyny, and purity testing and it will stick. Already we have most liberals being one rhetorical step away from defending Walz unleashing the National Guard on BLM protesters

There is no point in engaging with domestic national politics at this current time, the ball is firmly overseas

The only series of events that can undermine this new DNC paradigm is Israel blowing up the world and the US mobilizing to save it. Not even the collapse of Ukraine can dent it now, since that was "Biden's project"

Hate to say it, but the DNC won a firm generational victory

lmao trump was shot in the fucking head on live tv and everyone forgot about it in a week

every time anything sort of happens we all decide [x faction] has won the country for another generation and then within a matter of days another thing sort of happens

To be fair that speaks more to the unique dysfucntion of the Republican party than to the overall state of decay

The Republicans fumbled a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure political primacy, while the democrats responded (initial civilty overdose aside) with a series of deft political choices that were the correct counterplays everytime

Biden drops out --> Walz inaugurates the "Weird" campaign --> Kamala fakes a snubbing of Bibi while keeping the zionists happy --> Kamala passes over Shapiro for the more popular Walz......four straight Ws in a row, while republicans flatline two weeks after a goddamn assassination attempt, the graph lines are diverging here and the dem line is heading to victory

think-about-it they didn't fumble, its just no one who wasn't already MAGA gave a shit about Trump being shot. That's why it went away.

None of these politicians are popular, because peoples lives are getting worse. Harris/Walz are right now as popular as they will ever be. If they win, their approval ratings are going to be bad, because peoples lives will keep getting worse

Yeah his approval ratings didn’t even go up after being shot. Half the country just went “wish he died lmao”

  1. no one caring
  2. Trump not being hospitalized/seriously injured
  3. the shooter being a white male/typical school shooter type

All made this thing go nowhere. The last 2 are why even republicans are over it lol.
