It was such a simple plan! Force Biden out and watch the Democratic Party tear itself apart. It was going to be great! A mad scramble to replace Joe Biden would result in a huge brawl followed by weeks of brutal attacks leading to a heavily contested convention. Why, we might even get a repeat of 1968!
And I kid you not, this is exactly what the press was planning on.
And hereโs my good friend David Sirota. Iโll have more to say about this bottom-feeding shitheel on tomorrowโs podcast. But hereโs a preview: I absolutely fucking knew he was going to push for chaos and I knew the alt-left was going to cry about Harris being โcoronated.โ It was with zero surprise that I opened my Guardian app this morning to find this article:
The Guardian has actually been really good about this so far but they feel the need to give a platform to contranian alt-left trash like Sirota. For โbalanceโ I guess. He must be fuming after todayโs news. Good. I want to drink his tears.
So what happened today? Oh, not much:
Kamala Harris enters the second full day of her campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday in an almost unassailable position, following a whirlwind 24 hours that saw almost every senior party figure championing her candidacy.
The rapid pace at which the vice-president racked up endorsements was matched by an avalanche of donations to the newly branded Harris for President campaign, which had already inherited Joe Bidenโs $96m when he abandoned his re-election effort on Sunday.
More than $100m poured into campaign coffers in its first day, a spokesperson said on Monday, calling it the largest single-day haul of any presidential candidate in history and with most of the money coming from grassroots donors making their first contributions of the election cycle.
Oh, wait! That was YESTERDAY! Hereโs what happened today.
And there goes the whole idea of a contested convention. Not only are all of the delegates throwing their support behind Kamala Fucking Harris, no one of note1 is stepping forward to challenge her despite the demands of the press for a fight at the convention. So fuck you, NYT. Fuck you, WaPo. And, really, a double extra heaping of go fuck yourself forever, David Sirota. God, youโre such a fucking asshole and I loved humiliating you on Twitter.
So what happened here? Why was the press SO SURE they were going to push Joe Biden out and get the huge brawl and drama and maybe even violence theyโd been having wet dreams about all year long? Was it โthe party elites?โ Was it a conspiracy to suppress dissent? Was it The Jews?2
Well, they might be able to sell that story if it werenโt for the $120 million (or more, Iโm not even sure how much it is right now) raised from small donors in less than 48 hours.3 A lot of them first-time donors. With that much grassroots enthusiasm, itโs hard to pretend the base hasnโt made its preference clear about who they want to replace Joe Biden. I mean, the press will try, of course, but good luck with that, scumbags.
No, what happened here is that they seem to have forgotten what happened in 2020. We donโt talk about it because the press refuses to acknowledge the disparity between the parties. Allow me to refresh your memory.
In 2020, Bernie was trying to win the primary with a plurality, instead of a majority, of the vote in a heavily divided field the way Trump did in 2016. It might have worked, too, if Democrats were as selfish as Republicans are. In 2016, Republicans refused to drop out and support a candidate that could stop Trump from becoming the nominee. Would that have worked? Maybe. Maybe not. But they didnโt even try. They put themselves before their party and their country and lost everything.
Democrats, seeing what Bernie was trying to do, chose a different path. Knowing that Bernie would absolutely fucking lose to Trump, several Democrats put aside their own ambitions and ended their campaigns to endorse Joe Biden. They did what was best for the party and for the country because it wasnโt about them and their egos. Trump had to be stopped.
The press swallowed their own โboth sidesโ bullshit and forgot that Democrats are not, in fact, power-mad narcissists like Republicans. Thatโs why theyโre stunned and, frankly, really pissed off that the Democratic Party coalesced around Kamala Fucking Harris so fast, the press didnโt even have time to write more than a few โWhy Kamala is badโ articles. They were really looking forward to sowing lots of division on the left and wallowing in weeks of โDEMS IN DISARRAY!โ capped off with a disastrous convention.
Too late now, motherfuckers. The base has embraced her. The party has embraced her. The big donors have embraced her. The only people sulking about it are Republicans, the alt-left, and journalists. Oh my god, the journalistsโฆ
If I could bottle the feeling of watching the plans of ratfuckers crash and burn, I'd inject it right into my veins and ride that high all the way to January 20th as President Kamala Fucking Harris gives her acceptance speech in front of a beaming Joe Biden while Donald Trump gets ready to flee the country.
There will be a firehose of sexism and racism directed at Harris in the coming weeks while the press continues to ignore Donald Trumpโs rapidly deteriorating mental and physical condition. Our job is to ignore their bullshit and win the White House, take back the House, and keep the Senate. Then we can take a victory lap and spit in the faces of every fascist and fascist enabler trying to destroy this country.
After that, the real party starts when President Kamala Fucking Harris gets to work.
There are 104 days until the 2024 election. Vote blue like your life depends on it.

Joe Manchin is allegedly thinking about it, but like I said, โNo one of note.โ
I promise you, someone is going to blame The Jewsโข. Itโs a coin flip if itโs the right or the alt-left who gets to it first.
Thatโs not including the $150 million, so far, from big donors. So in less than 48 hours, Kamala raised a quarter of a billion and she gets to spend all of that in 4 months while Trump has to keep paying lawyers to stay out of prison.
I used the hashtag #PresidentKamalaFuckingHarris and boy did that piss a couple of people off! And, you know what? I donโt give a fuck!
Biden's timing for all of this was utter fucking genius. Apart from doing this after the Republicans had their parties hate-rally where they embraced a criminal/rapist/fascist/cockscab/dumbfuck his (near) immediate endorsement of Kamala Harris after his announcement was his "fuck you". He snookered MAGAs, Alt Left, Alt Right, Democratic Step-Downers, and, as was pointed out in the article, The Collective Media. They were hoping for a bloody brutal contested nomination and Biden single-handedly took away their red meat and gave them crybaby soup. Not just that, he shot 1.21 gigawatts into the voters who ALSO went full on Kamala Harris and did so while rendering Trump-Vance comically impotent.
Biden is the savviest politician we've ever seen in the modern era. I look forward to Kamala exceeding that.
Kamala Harris for President!
