Summary

Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.

Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.

Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.

      Sometimes cults die with their leader sometimes they don’t. JD has no charisma and pedo-supporters don’t even like him (they prefer child rapists to couch fuckers). Time will tell.

        Oh, I agree. I think the amount of energy lost, when Trump dies, will be a huge blow to the MAGA movement. Will it be a coup de grace? I fucking hope so. However, if they get their project 2025 governmental structure into place, I think it will be hard to dethrone the GOP, even without Trump. I also believe that is the true hope behind that platform. They know their cult of personality is on a timer, so they are hoping to get things set-up, where they still have complete control, regardless of how motivated the cult is.
