the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media love nothing more than pushing a Narrative, and oh boy had they ever cooked one up for a post-Biden Democratic National Convention.
after we shove icky old Joe Biden out of the race, its going to be pandemonium. Kamala Harris sucks. nobody likes her. the Democrats will toss her aside like an old dogshit shoe, and then its going to be a knock-down drag-out fight. well have us an open convention with a million candidates!

floor fight! nobody will be able to agree on anybody! theres going to be a hundreds of rounds of voting! think of the ratings! DEMOCRATS IN DISARRAY!

but along comes Kamala and in less than 48 hours, shes blown The Narrative to bits.

(24,113 posts)I can still remember Jimmy Carter chasing Teddy Kennedy around the stage at the convention trying to shake his hand... And the Chicago Convention when Hubert Humphrey got the nod.. no no no... I am thrilled we have Kamala locked down.. thank you to all the Biden delegates for seeing the bigger picture.. only the media would want to watch that again.

(28,823 posts)We, Democrats, own the narrative right now. Do not fall for the lies that are going to bombard the MSM, including polls that show TSF still ahead. Posting right wing bs is what they want us to do.
Having control of the narrative is a BFD, we need to use our heads and keep posting positive threads.
I do not give a shit what TSF or Vance does or says.
It's the prosecutor v the criminal, the prosecutor v the criminal, the prosecutor v the criminal.

(25,477 posts)move by Democrats that obviously caught the mouth breathers off guard, tRUMP in particular. Of course, he flung 5th grade insults at Kamala but they fall flatter than trump's pump-up shoes that he wears to make him look taller.
When will the gop finally decide to get rid of the 5th grade schoolboy, and replace him w/ an actual, decent candidate? Oh wait! There are no more 'normal' people in the tRUMP/gop party anymore. They ran them all off.
So, instead of being a formerly cohesive party of roughly 30 million, it's now a tiny fraction of that, w/ the remaining tRUMP nuts and scumbags, an appropriate place for them to stew over the next eight plus years that the Kamala years will ensue. And these numbers will continue to decrease, as the idiots in this group will continue to convince themselves that they are invincible, despite the annual COVID and / or flu seasons as well as doing other idiotic things, which take out thousands of them annually
I laugh at the delectable taste of this win in advance (and of course we need to grind down, do the grunt work), but this is a major win by any measure and its left tRUMP and chumps all in a circle jerk, w/ nothing to say or do, other than stare at each other dumbly (as they normally do anyways). Revenge is a dish best served piping hot, where I can see it burn your f**king mouth (pardon the language). As you can tell, I am tired of hearing about what the opinions of these gop losers on what the Democratic Party and members should do.

By evening, I was more hopeful of November victory than ever and celebrating with a tankard of rightwanker tears.
