LP needs to release an ad just spending a minute calling Trump a chicken and making clucking sounds at him

It’s his best bet, for sure. Same reason he didn’t do any of the R primary debates, knows he’d get thrashed and has nothing to gain.

Looks like they're going with the "long form birth certificate" strategy.

Legally, he can release his delegates. He has done so.

your facts are wasted on him, but I commend the effort.

“I’m brave enough to stare a gunshot to the head but scared to debate a shitty last minute candidate” is not a good look

Good strategy actually. A network won't carry it, but do a long form youtube video. Put a shitty trump wig on a pumpkin at the other podium and answer questions.

I mean, it's not like the pinnacle of democracy, sure. But there's basically the same amount of campaign that got Harris elected as Trump went through.

I took a bullet for democracy! But face Kamala...fuck that.

The underlying truth to it all is that the American system isn't exactly built and designed to be the height of democratic representation.

Complaining about just this aspect of it is pure cope and whinging.

I like her just fine but she needs to be way better at sounding genuine. Everything seems like a performance with her. Not a great salesperson, which is my main concern because that's the only skill you really need to win this election.

I feel like it’d be less democratic for the delegates to back someone else really. The delegates pledge to vote for the candidate their voters picked in the primaries. They knew Kamala was his running mate. He stepped down and endorsed her. And no one else has gotten the signatures and even entered the race, they all backed her too. What else would the delegates do?
