(1/2) Was there ever more of an exciting day? For our entire country of course, but especially for my Black and Indian sisters, many of us who have gone our entire lives thinking that someone who looks like us may never hold high office? We work so hard and contribute to the pic.twitter.com/LpG0DvsGuT

Yeah most people do not want trump, it’s a no brainer to support this team.
The only thing about this team I’m super excited about is a better response to corona virus. Other than that, they/Biden especially has not put out any messages that are memorable , special, or exciting (compared to Bernie , Elizabeth warren.) the thing I love about Kamala is when she was taking down that rapey beer guy and maybe some other moments I’ve seen clips of her speaking, but none of that energy was part of the primaries. Then Biden, so many gaffes or moments he seemed to have dementia in the primaries. Anyways I’m trying to be optimistic, Kamala is younger and definitely does not have any mental issues. She’ll be right there to correct Biden hopefully. I really want to hear the China policy. Hope the tough on crime / cop reputation Kamala has will extend to Chinas current human rights holocaust on the Uyghur people.
It is fun that trump has such a hate for Obama administration and now will hopefully be defeated by Biden who was there the whole time trump was hating their policies.
> Then Biden, so many gaffes or moments he seemed to have dementia in the primaries.
Whenever I see people saying this, I have to think that they weren’t paying much attention to politics prior to 2016. Biden Gaffes are the stuff of legend and were well-known in the Obama years, too. He’s even been known to make gaffes purposefully (ie: tipping the administration’s hand on gay marriage to force Barack’s public support earlier than was planned).
I’ll allow that he’s not as sharp as he was in 2012, but I’m very tired of this conservative talking point. It’s reductive and ignorant. The people who started and pushed this narrative most vociferously are champagne socialists who want Trump to win so they can continue profiting and Republicans. Enough of it.
Biden is 77 and has a stutter. He is still more knowledgeable and articulate than Trump, who is rapidly becoming non compos mentis. It’s really dumb of the GOP to paint Biden as senile for several reasons—most obviously because Trump misspeaks and blithers every damn day. Also senior citizens are the most conscientious voting block and sensitive to unfair criticism about dementia. But most importantly, the GOP has substantially lowered the bar for Biden’s debate performance and you don’t do that! Now all Biden has to do is not drool and voters will think, he sounds fine, I can vote for him. Stupid move by the Trumpsters.
Reagan was going senile, George W Bush was notorious for his malapropisms, and Donald Trump is incoherent, repetitive, and has the vocabulary of an unusually limited toad. Joe Biden is fine. The opposition is just trying to find something negative to say. He’s got to win and Kamala’s going to lead us forward and I sincerely hope Democrats and moderates can unite on this.
I’m a psychiatrist and I see very few, if any, outward signs of “dementia” in Biden (obviously, I haven’t assessed him formally). I see a measured approach to speech due to his lifelong stutter, and I see a typical slowing down as happens naturally with age. In Trump, I see a whole slew of signs and symptoms that are apparent from a purely public and visible viewpoint (again, I haven’t formally assessed him either, nor would I get within 10 yards of him to do so).
I actually have a psychiatrist friend that said the exact same thing. That if either of those men are more likely to have dementia it is Trump, as he is definitely showing the very obvious symptoms.
Thank you! I see a lot of people throwing the “dementia” thing at Biden, because the GOP and Fox News manage to get it into the public discourse. Like most things they accuse others of, they’re projecting. Trump is a blithering idiot, AND seems to be suffering some kind of mental decline.
Kamala was my first choice all along. I’m excited enough for both of us. MANY women are excited and joyful and even crying in happiness over this.
Dont’ forget that.
I didn’t mean he’s worse than trump in dementia , that’s for sure. Plus trump has mental health issues like narcissism. I disagree that we should sweep any True things away just because the gop said those things
Are you his doctor? No. So you do not know what his health status is, and unless you are in fact his doctor, you cannot remotely claim Biden having dementia is a “true thing.” You’re making assumptions based on his speech, which is horribly ableist.
“True things”?
Just because you believe their smearing, doesn’t make it true.
I will confess…I cried tears of joy yesterday. There’s so much work ahead…but I took a minute of joy.
I’m too burnt from worry to feel real joy over this, although my heart creaked a little in happiness.
neither are my first choice, but I can’t wait to see Kamala Harris make Pence cry to Mother during the VP debates
Trump is a knee on the neck of America.
After 2016, I trust no polls and am just praying Trump loses. I am already seeing my FB blow up with pedophile comments on Biden and “sleeping her way to the top” on Kamala, who was my first choice. It does worry me. And then I heard Trump is ditching Pence (oh how I want the debate between him & Kamala) for Nikki Haley.
I don’t even want to look it up, but why are people saying that about Biden? He’s far from my choice, but I have no idea where that accusation is coming from. His opponent on the other hand…
Those comments about Kamala are disgusting, yet expected, even in 2020. I hope someday women will be able to achieve what she has without gross people saying such horrible and sexist things.
I KNIW!!! After all Trump has done and said and they accept that! That’s what worries me! Only thing I can figure is Biden would hug people and come close to them-I think someone said he made her uncomfortable. Ok, fine, I get it. However, he is older and this is what was done. At least it wasn’t as disgusting as Trump gets…yet he’s ok!
They’re always smearing.
Republicans know that Democrats can be dissuaded from voting if a candidate is not pure, or if they make up rumours about them.
Republicans will vote Trump no matter what he does
@ Lucy.
Meh. Pence or Haley. Kamala will wipe the floor with either one.
Agreed. Kamala can debate anyone!!! Lol bring it on! 🤣
Her speech today was SO GOOD!! I did tear up listening to her.
I am too.
Well obviously. It’s pretty much career suicide in Hollywood to have a family friendly image and be a Trumptard. Nothing to see here.
