They're just happy that Joe is out since they all know that they can't hide how awful Biden actually was anymore. It hasn't quite dawned on them yet that Kamala is no better and probably worse.

Kamala has to campaign now, and give campaign speeches now, and interact with potential voters now. By the time the convention rolls around I suspect that the media will be clamoring for someone else yet again.
The insiders know how AWFL she is. They know very well, they felt it was a risk for him to take her as VP and she didn't have one real Progressive bone in her body, other than her sending money to the bail fund to bail out the commies. But they needed a "unity" body to fill that slot fast to keep progs from staying home.

They have hours... HOURS... to mount the campaign and narrative of their lives. When the conventions are over, most people tune out until late September and don't pick up politics again until it infests everything in October.

All of the broken messaging that hasn't worked for the DNC has to be gotten rid of literally overnight in order to make this tough sell.
 
I dunno about the sweep Trumpers

The Dem's could take a potato, paint it blue and put a (D) next to it and it would get 225 electoral votes guaranteed.

All the Dem's have to focus on is fortifying a few states and it's done. Michigan is gone thanks to the new laws. Pennsylvania is probably gone too as it is a locus of fortification. Count out Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico all for the same reasons. Hell it may take a month for some right leaning states to count their ballots and that's more then enough time to prep the field and lay the steal.

That don't really leave many paths to 270 for the Don.

I"m just say that no matter who the Dem's eventually offer up they still have at least a 50% of winning. The system can only work if it's allowed to and right now far too many critical states are almost impossible for Trump to win thanks to changes made by Democratic Governors and Legislators. I could very easily see a Dem 300 to Trump 250 result just like 2020.

TLDR:

Vote Printer go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
They hate you because you're telling them the truth— this is not going to be a landslide nextvictory for Trump. I think it will be a close election. If he wins, it will be barely, and everything needs to go right. Mark my words (not financial advice), there will be rate cuts leading up to the election which will reverse prevailing negative sentiment on the economy. I also predict a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza, and a sudden drop in gas prices.

Oh, the magic make everything good button.

Or the Democrats will force WWIII to start and an economic depression to happen right before Trump takes office just so they can blame it all on him before the 2026 midterms.
 
Happened across another redditor comparing American politics to Star Wars again.

Another "SW fan" who didn't watch The Acolyte, otherwise even he would be too embarrassed to invoke this scene.

Remember: Republicans get their dicks out, Democrats accidentally escalate flower-picking trips into Waco. Or something.

Netanyajoo ain't doin shit to help the Hamas Party, especially Kamala 'I love these protests on campuses' Harris. There will be no permanent ceasefire this year

The price of refined oil is dependent on one thing: the price of crude oil. The price of crude oil is dependent on one thing: the supply of crude oil. Always has been. Is. Always will be. There isn't some magical reservoir of untapped supply that can be turned on in the next four months. There never is, oil supply is never on standby except in Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states. The American oil industry doesn't work that way. The strategic reserve is almost empty, and even if it were 100% full, that's only about 20 days worth of domestic consumption. It doesn't exist to drop gas prices 50 cents a gallon because the president wants it to, it exists to make sure the military has enough if the shit REALLY hits the fan. Which it now doesn't, thanks to Joe emptying it
 
Older voters will not back a woman for president. Neither will black or hispanic voters. This is a suicide mission. And if she has another woman be her VP, its double suicide.

Not to say sit back and enjoy the shitshow and its fallout. But the margins will be too wide for cheating. And the public won't accept the results if they do cheat.

I'm seeing so many black guys laughing about this all over. She won't win any of them. This would be a time when the infamous 'black vote' will turn on them. I'm optimistic, but probably a lucy and football charlie brown thing again.

Hahah

So you're betting on several miracles in the lead up to the election?

Rates remain high because inflation is enormous. If they cut the interest rates we'll feel the inflation at the supermarket faster and harder.

Palestine and Israel ceasefire? Sure, they've only been fighting consistently since the stone age and the man who might broker that deal has zero political capital because he just dropped out of the race.

Gas prices dropping? How? Biden gutted domestic oil production in his first 24 hours as president. He's sold the vast majority of our strategic petroleum supply to lower it already. The Saudis have told us to eat shit and backed out of the petrodollar system, and I don't even blame them for doing so.

They will spin the fuck out of Kamala in the media, but every second the average American sleeps in the bed the dems have made is a detriment to their election chances. Things will get worse before the election, not better.

Right. And, inexplicably, the few supporters that Joe Biden has left are actually quite enthusiastic.

There's delusional people who view still view him as a "sweet, silly grandpa." I really started to notice this during the Dem Primaries in 2020. There was a surprising amount of people who were like "Joe isn't doing great in these debates because everyone is ganging up on him and being mean to him! Poor guy!" The stupidity blew my mind, lol.

Kamala does not have even that kind of support for her, though. She's probably going to do well with black women voters ... Which Biden had locked already anyway.
 
How many would it take for the smoke detectors to beep as one long endless tone?
Internet says they chirp every 30 seconds to one minute, so using 45 secs and a quarter second long chirp (wild ass guess, I'm traveling and phone posting or I'd drop it in an audio editor) you'd need 180 perfectly timed low batteries to do it. Maybe 10 times that to get close and 100 times to fill in the gaps?

Call it 20k to get a truly constant chirp?
