"A lot of us aren’t happy with the way things played out for Joe Biden. But MAGA and the media have wasted no time. They’re already coming after Kamala with racist and sexist attacks. That's why, in this very difficult moment, we must unite.
We have to be ready to push back harder, stronger, and faster than ever. We must intensely pressure the media into covering Trump’s lunacy and lies at a constant.
If we unite, we win."

"Harris’s own qualifications pale in comparison to the case against Trump. That case is simple and easy to make. Donald Trump is a fascist. He is a felon. He will be the oldest president in American history. All the Democrats need is someone who can repeat these facts again and again. Joe Biden sadly wasn’t that person. Kamala Harris is."

Donald Trump Is Now the Weaker Candidate
Beating the former president isn’t hard—if you have a nominee who can press the case against him. Joe Biden wasn’t that person. Kamala Harris is.The New Republic
"Trump’s entire political career has been built on divisiveness over race and sex, starting with the lie that Obama might have been born outside the US and gendered attacks on Hillary Clinton in 2016. As Biden, Prospero-like, drowns his book, the election of Harris, a Black woman, would provide this era’s last word in poetic justice."

"In the coming weeks we will find out if the people who said, 'I hate Trump, but Biden is too old' really meant it.
Will they find some new excuse for why they have to vote for Trump? Will they become unconcerned about the risks of old age and cognitive decline in a president?"

"The Trump campaign spent two years creating a political bomb concerning old age. They assumed that they could plant this bomb at the feet of Joe Biden.
Trump is now the one holding the age bomb. He is not only a full generation older than Harris—everything about him looks geriatric by comparison."

Seven Lessons from Joe Biden’s Candidacy
The Democratic party is healthy. The Republican party is not.Jonathan V. Last (The Bulwark)
"Nothing triggers Donald Trump (and MAGA) more than strong Black women. Period. Black women are at the intersection of the racism and sexism that so fuels Trump and his MAGA movement. ...
Harris is the manifestation of all that scares Trump: She is a powerful, successful, smart Black woman."

"Obviously, Harris frightens Team Trump. At age 59, she will make the 78-year-old Trump look like the very senior citizen that he is. She also has a sharp mind and a prosecutor’s ability to close in for the kill.
As Harris begins her run for president, she seems to have broken Republicans’ brains but left their sexism and racism intact."

"They’re especially afraid of Harris’ top issue, abortion rights, because it’s one of America’s top issues, too, and she’s on the same side as about two-thirds of voters. Rather than joust with Harris on the right of women to control their own bodies, the Trump campaign is focusing on another issue, declaring that Harris 'wants to get rid of plastic straws.'”

"She was San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general, making the 'prosecutor vs. felon' narrative simply too delicious. (She was also known for vigorously prosecuting sex crimes; she will be running against an adjudicated rapist.) And Harris has been the party’s single best surrogate on the issue of abortion rights and reproductive justice, which is the Democrats’ winning issue."

So I'm already seeing that the Republican attack strategy on Kamala Harris is that she is a slut who has no kids. Apparently, both the sluttiness AND the childlessness disqualify her from being the big cheese. I even saw one Rep. woman who said that Harris's sexual history should be discussed.
Really?
OK. Then let's do the Orange Rapist's sexual history.
Kamala Harris, born to an Indian mother and a Jamaican father who migrated to the United States to study, is now potentially poised to become the Democratic presidential nominee.

Every time I've seen/heard about the Trumpwits' panicky reactions to Kamala Harris being the presumptive nom, I've thought about this meme. No idea who made it, but it's perfect.
Kamala Harris seems to have enough unofficial pledges of delegates to claim the Democratic nomination.

The Dems should temporarily stop (pretty much) all attack ads on trump, #Project2025, etc. and instead pump all that money into #KamalaHarris ads.
Show her with puppies, the elderly, babies, laughing at a barbecue, knitting next to a fire, singing with a choir, cooking with some friends, visiting a VA hospital...ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING to humanize and define her before trump, the rnc, and the media attempt to turn her into a caricature/boogeywoman.

Honestly #Democrats need to cease using #Twitter / #X & embrace alternatives (preferably those in the #Fediverse).
Musk is either allowing these issues to remain on purpose or the site can not handle folks desiring to follow Kamala.

"The hard work ahead is for Harris and all who believe in democracy with her to take the offensive and push HARD against Trump and MAGA about Trump’s clear record of deceit, dishonesty, incompetence, corruption, and mental unfitness to be chief executive of the United States.
The issue has now shifted from Biden’s impairments due to aging to Trump’s unfitness because he is a corrupt, mentally unstable, sociopathic idiot."

"A president gets, at most, two lines above the fold on his Wikipedia page. That’s it. That’s how history judges them.
Here is Joe Biden’s legacy: He beat back America’s first authoritarian attempt. And when he realized that he could not do it a second time, he stepped away so someone else could.
This is enough to make him—already, today, on July 21, 2024—our greatest living president."

" Just last week, the Republicans nominated Donald Trump, who is 78, for president. Having made age their central complaint about Biden, they are now faced with having nominated the oldest candidate in U.S. history, who repeatedly fell asleep at his own nominating convention as well as his criminal trial, who often fumbles words, and who cannot seem to keep a coherent train of thought."

Biden’s decision has left the Republicans in deep trouble, and they are illustrating their dilemma with high-pitched anger that the ticket of their opponents has changed and by insisting that if Biden is not fit for another four-year term he must resign the presidency immediately. ...
The Republicans’ anger reflects that fact that if Biden is off the ticket, they are in yet another pickle."

"Biden’s decision is now also a challenge to every voter in the pro-democracy coalition to live by their words. For two years, many Americans lamented the choice between the aging Biden and the dissolute, unbalanced Trump. Their wish has been granted: They will now likely have a choice between a shouty, 78-year-old habitual liar whose life is a record of shame and failure"

"President Joe Biden has chosen to put his country over his own ego, a heroic decision that shows the difference between a political party and a cult of personality. ...

"The last month has been nonstop agony for Democrats. As time went on it wasn’t even one kind of agony. But each day new and different kinds of agony. Even people I know who were deeply against this happening now seem relieved to move past this period of paralysis. Once President Biden endorsed Harris all those agonized feelings rushed forward into a sense of relief and for many excitement."

"You can’t just be on the receiving end of this stuff. Trump is about to show the kind of gutter white nationalist and racist pol he is. Force the press and all observers to see this totally predictable move through that prism.
Trump is losing the campaign he wanted to run, the one he and his campaign have spent years planning to run. ...

"And as one of my friends pointed out, this means that so many of Trump’s 'arguments' are gone in one fell swoop: President Biden’s age, Hunter Biden, the whole 'Biden crime family' corruption allegations. All out the door.

"Speaking of Black women, Kamala Harris should be fully unleashed now as President Biden finishes his term. She is the best one to prosecute the case against Trump and MAGA’s extremist Project 2025 agenda.

Trump and the GOP can’t run away from their misogyny and cruelty."
