Hey Republicans: Prepare yourselves for some serious butt-hurt [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-07-21 Remember when Joe Biden took Paul Ryan to school in the 2012 VP debate, during which he simultaneously bailed out Barack Obama after Obama’s shitty first debate performance with Mitt Romney? Remember when Joe Biden moved Obama off the dime regarding same sex marriage? The same Joe Biden who beat Trump in 2020 and passed more major legislation in 3½ years than Obama passed in 8, and probably more than any Democratic president since LBJ. See a pattern here? Today, Joe set the stage for Democrats to seize the day and take command of the narrative. And he has effectively forced the media to acknowledge that there is only one “old guy” in true cognitive decline running for president, and he is the convicted felon heading the Republican ticket. I have nothing but admiration and respect for Joe Biden’s decision. My first vote was for Jimmy Carter in 1976, and Joe Biden’s presidency has been the most effective and forward-looking of any Democratic president I have voted for since that first vote as an 18-year old college freshman. I believe Joe’s decision now provides a golden opportunity for Democrats to absolutely rout and humiliate Trump and the Republican Party in November. There can no longer be any excuse for Democrats not to unite behind Kamala Harris and whomever she chooses to be her VP. Harris is not only ready for this, her abilities also scare the Republican Party shitless. And that is a very good thing.
