I've gotten my dream already. Kamala for President.

Now I will work my ass off to make sure Trump and Project 2025 are defeated.I will redouble my efforts.

Joe will forever have my respect, but I have a candidate I never thought would be on the ballot in Kamala.

Let's get to work. We have history to make.

It has to be the right woman. Just wanting a woman to be president - you could get MTG, Boo Boo or Marsha. I really don't care about the gender - I want the one whose policies I agree with.

I think Kamala is a great choice.

If Mexico can elect a woman, why can't we?

We haven't yet because the US -- which leads in certain ways, such as technical innovation -- is a socially conservative and frankly backward country.

This is why we lag behind our peers (in the group of about 30+ developed democracies) with regard to universal health care, a less-unfair tax code, educational standards and achievement, abortion policy, voting rights, gun safety, women's rights, civil rights, employers' obligations and workers' rights, paid time off, paid parental leave, etc. etc. etc.

That said, I think we WILL elect a woman in 2024! President Kamala Harris.

I said we’re past due for electing a woman. Why are you asking If Mexico can, why can’t we? (And we did elect Hillary)

Unfortunately, until we pass a Constitutional Amendment to get rid of the EC, that kind of nonsense will just keep happening.

The EC & the Senate are both counter-democratic institutions.

We definitely have our work cut out for us but Kamala can do this. The fact that she's already raised quite a bit of money and his assholiness along with the rest of the GOP Howler monkeys are losing their shit, shows how scared they are about her candidacy. Although many of us were pulling for Joe, this re-energized ticket could be what finally gets the demented flatulent felon out of politics and back to Mar a Lardo for good.

I agree, Kamala won't be intimidated by Trump, she's dealt with his type before. She scares the shit out of him.

Yesterday was tough for many of us. In Marine Corps parlance, embrace the suck and move the f*ck on. The game has changed. We can adapt faster than they can.

It's easy for me, I've been a fan of Kamala for a long time. Before her run for Senate in 2016.

I have wanted her as President since.

Joe will forever have my respect. He’s a decent, honorable man and a great President.

I will continue my efforts to raise the public's awareness of Project 2025 and to defeating Trump at the ballot box.

Everything else i is just a distraction to me.

That’s the mission, do everything we can to get VP Harris elected as President, & to keep informing voters about Project 2025 & how it will affect their lives.

Not Mar-a-Lardo; prison. I suspect the Orange Lizard can already hear the bars slamming behind him.

He definitely belongs in the big house but the way he's getting treated by SCOTUS and other judges, it's not looking very promising. Hopefully Judge Merchan will buck the trend and gives him the sentence he deserves.

Plenty of the conduct on which criminal liability is based cannot possibly qualify as "official acts" even under a broad reading of Trump v. US, I think.

The orange shitgibbon needs to go to prison, and Kamala is just the woman to send his ass to jail! 💙🌊

Please don't say things that will be seized on by the right as "Dems have a vendetta against him!" Harris -- either as VP or as Prez -- can have zero role in charging him with any crime or in prosecuting him.

Judge Merchan will decide on his sentence for his conviction in the falsification-of-biz-records case. Juries will decide whether he's guilty in the three other pending cases, and the relevant judges will decide his sentence(s).

Thanks.

Good point. Let's not give GOP a single talking point.

And his defeat opens the prison cell doors wide. DOJ & efforts to toss pending cases will be off limits to him.

There’s nothing that misogynistic racist hates more than a strong, black woman and nothing I like more than seeing one beat him.

I’m behind Kamala all the way.

She is my first choice for the position.

Let’s all row in the same direction, working to defeat Trump and Project 2025 at the ballot box.

Me too, Bob, me too!! I’m 74, was all in on women’s liberation, the ERA, Gloria Steinem, burning my bras, etc. I had given up hope of living to see the first woman president. Now I am dancing & practically hysterical with JOY 🤩. I am so fired up now. President Biden has my respect, but I was sinking into despair with him staying in the race, I could just feel us losing.

I respect him even more for having the patriotism & courage to step aside & allow a new generation to carry us forward.

Joe Biden and George Washington are the only two presidents to walk away from the power of the presidency solely for the good of the country.

Joe will always have my profound respect.

I love Kamala she'll be great.
