    I think most people expect way too much of Presidents. Many believe that they are some 18th-century King or Czar.

    Sadly I believe that increasingly, the real power is in big businesses (S&P 500) and the lobbyists they use to influence and bribe government bureaucrats, the press, and congressmen around the WORLD.

    Think about it, with a US population of 333 MILLION, just the top 2% of IQs and education would leave you with 6 million+ possible candidates..certainly not what we usually see running for the job.

    US President gets paid 400k per year, not bad, but the AVERAGE S&P 500 CEO gets paid 16 MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. "According to a June 2024 Associated Press study, the median total compensation for S&P 500 CEOs in 2023 was $16.3 million, which is a 12.6% increase from the previous year. This is a significant increase that outpaced the 4.1% increase in wages and benefits for private-sector workers in 2023. In fact, at half of the companies surveyed, it would take a middle-level worker almost 200 years to earn what their CEO does."

    Isn't she technically the President right now?

    Given that they finally admitted that Biden is officially incapable of running, it also means he's incapable of being President.

    Will she be a good President? Fuck no! This is the ultimate in failing upwards / being a DEI hire. She's thick as a piece of coal.

    They need to properly pick a candidate. She's only going to be "it" because they think they'll be able to keep the $90m donations made to the Biden campaign, which is against election rules. That money should be refunded since he dropped out.

    It is great to have someone in the race who isn’t a closet racist, communist and doesn’t wear adult diapers.

    Yeah, thank god President Racist Shat His Pants finally dropped out!

    Kamala is dumb and not likeable, something like 2/3rds of her staff quit within 1-2 years of working with her.

    She seems to be an unpleasant and unprincipled bitch. Who keeps people locked up that they know to be innocent, just to further their own career?

    Evil.

    The party that lectures everyone and claims everything is a "threat to democracy itself" just picked a candidate and ensured that everyone's choices counted for nothing.

    Oh, before launching three separate comments the censor deleted two of my comments. #freespeechsoimportanttotrumpists

    Ah, and since the reason for Biden's withdrawal has never been given the speculation that he was not able is just - well - not so coherent. It is just copy paste. Please add that Biden should refund the Republicans now.

    A disaster.

    I think I could like the person Kamala, she is on my radar 😊, but the democrats are off track.

    Needs to be a different candidate imo. Biden wasn’t just losing due to his age, it was his record and the state of the country that was keeping him down. Huge miscalculation.

    They just nominated the one person they could tie all that to and run ads against. Generic Dem governor/Senator can actually pose a credible alternative platform but they chose Harris.

    This is a good reason why there are primaries and the voters choose who the nominee is. Don’t be fooled by her improving numbers, what you are seeing is a “bump” due to the excitement that they finally talked Joe out of the race. The fundamentals remain and Biden, as flawed as he is, was a better candidate to run in middle America. Not to say that Trump can’t fuck this up, but that’s the point - it’s his race TO fuck up.

    We’re in for a wild ride to the finish.

    Still nothing from Obama endorsing Kamala.

    The only way Biden could halfway redeem himself is if he went off script at his press conference tonight and started yelling that he's been robbed.

    The only really good and suitable woman that the Dem's had was Tulsi Gabbard, but she got sick of the nonsense and quit.
