Yeah, I was also shocked they didn't go with Shapiro. Picking Walz implies that Minnesota actually needed shoring up, and if that's true, then Trump is probably ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Which puts him at 312 EVs, iirc.
She can't really win without Pennsylvania, that's probably the deciding state this cycle. So it's weird she didn't grab Shapiro when he was literally begging for it. Maybe they've conceded Pennsylvania post-assassination attempt, and are just trying to hold the rest of the Rust Belt? I don't really get the thinking otherwise. There's no scenario where she's winning PA but is worried about the other upper Midwest enough to pick Walz of all people. Even without the riots, horse cock addiction, and stolen valor, he's a net drain on the ticket because he's a bloated old white guy from a ruined blue state with no name recognition.

While the "Biden's campaigning from the basement" meme had a lot of truth to it in 2020, it was nowhere near as bad as it is now for Kamala.
Biden did some interviews and appearances at least.

No halo? She must not be fully chosen even at this point.
'You have to elect her to know what's in her.'
Rural states know the democrats fucking despise them with a white-hot fury.

Or you could look at it the other way.
Pennsylvania could be already locked down thanks to all the fortification the Dems have set up so they don't need to even bother to pretend to waste time or money in Penn. Harris can look for other targets to flip as she's been told Penn is off the table for Trump so lets so hit some less then locked down states.
Remember most election laws put in place for 2020 are still there, only Arizona seems to roll back a few and not all.

People 35 and under are definitely political, annoyingly so, I feel like most of the people I see online with retarded overly political personalities are more often than not millennials and zoomers and the oldest of those people are in their 40s, I'd agree with you more if you said people OVER like 60 or something aren't political - think actual grandmas and grandpas or something.
1995-2005 is a bit off, a lot of millennials and zoomers will remember the Internet from that time period (not as many zoomers). That's a decade that many children in the first world will have grown up with the Internet around them in some capacity, myself included. My parents got broadband in 2001.
I'd consider early net to be early 90s to late 90s - when BBS and Usenet were big. The people who were grown ass adults and used the early net will be getting a bit old now, likely 60s+, but remember a lot of kids also fucked around with that stuff - people born in 80s and 90s.

I agree with much of this but what makes me hesitate about this theory is that whilst yes, all of this is true as far as leaving Trump to handle public ire over bad times, it would also mean he gets another shot at clearing out the Deep State wonks. And they really don't want that. Last time he was in he didn't make much headway in it but he did manage to get in quite a lot of judges and I don't mean just the Supreme Court. Having the judiciary in their pocket is a key part of keeping their control. It has to be with a constitution as solid as the USA's. We haven't even begun to see the fall out that is likely to come about from overturning Chevron.
"Criminalise Everything, Enforce Selectively" is a mainstay of Authoritarian governments. Can't do that without a partisan judiciary. Trump set them back at least a few years in his last term and additionally this time he's going to be a lot better prepared for dealing with the institutional intransigence that stonewalled him last time. He made some bad picks in his team last time, largely because there wasn't much to pick from. But this time he'll be better prepared. Hell, he just picked RFK which is like a nuclear option for the Deep State.
Sorry, took a long time to say all that. Basically, I think you're spot on about leaving him holding the bag for upcoming problems, but I don't know that they'd willingly go that route because of the other side of the equation which is it also means four years of Trump cleaning out the Augean Stables.

If they can steal states that easily they wouldn't have burnt so much political capital on the failed lawfare, Trump's arrest and mugshot, the armed search of Mar-a-Lago, (possibly the assassination attempt), and they'd have kept Biden as the nominee and made him pick Newsom as VP to takeover after the election.
I fully understand the election was stolen in 2020, but I think it cost them a lot to do it and it's not nearly as easy to pull off twice, for whatever reason. Or Jan 6 really freaked them out so much they don't want to risk a real uprising.
I've said this before, but I suspect the 2020 steal was at least partially an accident, rather than planned "fortification". It's too radical for the DNC leaders, Pelosi and Co are drunks but they're cautious drunks. The DNC probably put people in place to do their usual stealing, some officials in Atlanta and Detroit colluded to shut down the count at the same time with plans to rescan the same ballots for a bit to give Biden the normal 2% "boost", and suddenly Trump's actually gaining more votes than any incumbent in history and they freak out and go way overboard, and you get 4am 100K vote dumps that go 100% for Biden and not any down ticket races because they didn't have time to fill out the rest of the ballots.
The DNC leaders realize it's way too obvious to hide what's happened, but they can't really control it and it's too far along to stop or back out, so they have to make sure Biden wins no matter how obvious it becomes. A few weeks of ballot printing later, and Trump's 800K lead in PA is reversed, and suddenly it's virtually a crime to even question the election results.
I'm not sure they can really do that again. They haven't acted like a party that is confident it can just steal whatever it wants, not since the special election in Georgia back in 2021, and that was held on January 5th.

I'm so tired of seeing my faggot governor with his "I'm an ex-teacher dad look at me ha-ha" energy, also people clapping every time someone at the DNC said they are a teacher pissed me off. So what? You know how many dog shit worthless teachers there are out there?!
Guess the DNC audience are all silver spoon private schoolers.

I don't really think the Dems used up any political capital in Trumps arrests and trials.
I honestly think that was local pols trying to make a name for themselves. Who ever puts Trump in jail will be set for life among the Democratics. They will be a legend and so the fools with no brains just jumped at the chance.
I would guess that if the DNC had a say they would have put the kibosh on any Trump arrests until after 2024. But I'd wager the morons in NYC didn't bother to tell anyone and by the time the talking heads of the DNC knew the arrest had been made, the press conferences were done and the MSM was already cooooooming all over the place at the news.
Putting Trump on trial just before the election was a lose-lose-lose situation that anyone with a single brain cell could tell you would backfire spectacularly. Notice it was only the utter morons in NYC that really went to town on it and NY pols have a reputation for massive stupidity for a reason. So no, I think the DNC didn't pull for it and would have stopped if it they could/knew.
Never underestimate the incredible levels of stupidity and ego that comes out of Jew York City. The place is a hell hole for a good reason.
