You know I have to say that Twitter and Threads last night were fired up! It was like a shot of enthusiasm just got injected into this election. Just like they are threatening legal action, using their scare words of DEI, having to bring up birther claims, the misogyny of faulting her because she didn't give birth, and God forbid she have an hearty laugh. That's it. That's all they've got. I, for one, cannot wait to see her filet Trump in a debate.

heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/july-21-2024In a time of dictators, Trump tried to overthrow the results of the 2020 presidential election and install himself in power against the wishes of the people. President Joe Biden voluntarily turned away from reelection in order to give the people a better shot at preserving our democracy. He demonstrated what it means to put the country first.

and maybe lose votes because old people won't vote for a woman I’m old and I’ll gladly vote for a woman. My dad is 93 and really wants Michelle Obama to run. He tells me all the time that he's "heard" that she's running. i have to tell him that's not true but he hangs onto it. He'll vote for Kamala hands down. |

A crazy Trumper in my family swears the Dems will be putting Michelle Obama on the ticket and Kamala will stay VP. I asked for the source and they just said “I’ve beeen hearing it for a while”. 🙄 They were saying this as if it were terrible, but I just a said GREAT, I love her!! (And I do!) 😁 |

If it is within your budget, today is a good day to make a donation to Kamala’s campaign. I donated because it feels good to be part of what is likely to be a strong message. Did this morning via Act Blue. Feeling much better about things. VP Harris seems to be gathering a ton of support! Listen to HCR’s politics chat from yesterday evening and read this morning’s letter, it’s encouraging. |

Just curious cuz I haven't heard anything, are there any rumbling from Dem leadership of a different possible presidential nominee?
I keep seeing people say "IF everyone gets behind Harris" but I also have not heard of any other potential candidate. I think this is a good thing as we need unity going into these last 100 days. But just wondering if I'm missing something.

Joe Manchin said today that he will NOT run against her. |

The only major people who haven’t endorsed her are Obama and Pelosi. Wondering what is going on there. Both are highly placed enough that they should be seen to be neutral and let the process play out. Unlike what one person has implied above - and unlike Trump in the Trump party - Obama is not actually holding the reins of the Democratic Party. |

www.yahoo.com/news/why-obama-hasn-t-endorsed-114259092.htmlAn article about why they think Obama hasn’t endorsed Harris. Like the prior election, he did not want to influence anyone. “Republicans interpreted that as a snub. But people close to Obama, who has positioned himself as an impartial elder statesman above intraparty machinations, said not to read too much into it — and had no alternate candidate in mind when he made the decision not to immediately endorse Harris.”

If they want to try the birther/dei crap they aren’t going to win anyone over. People who laugh hard and enjoy life are my favorite type of people. We need more of that! |

What Merge said regarding Obama endorsing Harris. He’s trying to remain neutral and not influence the process until she’s the official nominee Gift article- no paywall www.nytimes.com/2024/07/21/us/politics/why-obama-hasnt-endorsed-harris.html?unlocked_article_code=1.9E0.Bny5.1KBYcy4amaFU&smid=url-shareWhy Obama Hasn’t Endorsed Harris The former president has positioned himself as an impartial elder statesman above intraparty machinations and was neutral during the 2020 Democratic primaries Endorsing too early now would also be a political mistake — fueling criticism that Ms. Harris’s nomination, should it come, was a coronation rather than the best possible consensus under rushed circumstances, they said. Instead, Mr. Obama sees his role as helping to quickly “unite the party once we have a nominee,” a person familiar with his thinking said. |

I haven't felt this energized since Obama got the nomination! My 25 year old daughter is so excited.

None of my business, except as uksue pointed out, the world does NOT need another 4 DJT years. Just a Canadian popping in for a minute to make an observation. But after months of the media and people here saying the Dem's have lacked political strategy, does it not seem to you that dropping this in AFTER the RNC, when DT has been formally nominated and will be on the ballot, and BEFORE the DNC so there is room to release the delegates to select and approve a different candidate, that this was a GENIUS political strike? Talk about putting in a pinch hitter in the 9th inning! |

Lifelong republican here. I cannot vote for Trump and I was really not feeling it for Biden either. I am glad to see that Biden is not continuing down the path and I hope it was not done too late.

If so, please can you explain why you think that? 2025 proposal, any school requiring vaccines will lose all federal funding.. lookout in the red states, your kids will suffer bigly! |

Talk about putting in a pinch hitter in the 9th inning! I don't think it was intentional, but I do think it was good timing for the reasons you stated. Trump is locked in now, and we also know who is running mate is. It's also the perfect time to energize people to get behind Kamala. |

I absolutely think he threaded the needle on the timing on purpose. |

I agree that the timing was intentional and perfect. The Trump party wasted its entire convention arguing against a candidate who won’t be running.
