The 2024 US Presidential Election Watch Thread 💙⭐️💙⭐️💙

Kätzchen · 08-06-2024, 11:52 AM

I’m really glad that Kamala Harris picked Gov Tim Walz as her VP.

It’s hard to read the proverbial ‘tea leaves’ where our next president might pick for her cabinet, but former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown speculated recently that she might pick Gavin Newsome for a role in her cabinet. Which I think would be super progressive to have such an articulate person on her team.

https://sfstandard.com/2024/07/25/wi...-cabinet-role/

I also hope Josh Shapiro and Andy Beshear can be a part of her team: whether as outstanding governors of their states or a cabinet position too.

I know the US prosecutor attorney community is super tight. Maybe we will get a team of legal eagles known as the K-Team.

Until the next wave of good news,

—K.

I'm on another queer site and asked for info about Walz from actual Minnesota constituents. I have received numerous lengthy and sterling responses about the man. We have a winning ticket for sure and it is going to be the first time in a long time I am happy about the vote I am casting.

I know I posted earlier that Mark Kelly was my personal choice for V.P. but only because I was not familiar with Gov. Walz (pronounced walls.)

Watching video after video of him: signing legislation that benefits the poor, children, middle class. His interactions with his daughter Hope are simply a breath of fresh air! So obvious they have chemistry and charisma between them!

He is so normal! (can't believe this is such a huge plus!) after felon 34 and his gloom and doom, his revenge for everything if he is re-elected. (cheats)

Kamala is so compelling, so smart, so in the moment.

Say it to her face! I am rejuvenated and hopeful! Thank you V.P. and future President Kamala Harris!

Me too, Ace. thank you for your post. ☺️

I just got home from work and I just now am half way through all the Wisconsin intros and Coach Walz is just now speaking.

I know Team Blue is going to win and win big. I worry though about how hard the GOP in Georgia just made the voting process murkier cause that is how the GOP rolls. I hate what they are doing. LINK: https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/re...tes-rcna165583

What happens if magate loyalists fuck it up to prove how their lord & savior (I say that with deep seated sarcasm) will take back his throne to demolish the lives of those he hates the most. To me, he is worse than the Romans of biblical times.

It is my prayer that those people don’t ruin our country because they want to curry favor with a very terrible person who cares for no one except himself(literally).

Let America burn BLUE HOT for Democracy’s sake: please oh please let Freedom Ring! Harris -Walz for the Win!!! 🎉🎉 🎉❤️💙💙💙

I hope Pete Buttagieg finds a place in Kamala's cabinet too. He is so thoughtful, and a good communicator. Maybe Press Secretary? I don't know enough about his background to say what position. Maybe he needs to stay as Transportation Secretary.

It was so apparent that it was going to be a white man for VP. God forbid we have female candidates for both POTUS and VPOTUS. For two centuries we had no other choice besides white men, but the crack in the glass ceiling is only big enough for one woman. Two POC candidates? Also a no-no.

I am totally a female chauvinist. Just think if Hillary Clinton had chosen Elizabeth Warren for VP instead of that lame Tim whats-his-name. Elizabeth would have fought tooth and nail, protecting Hillary from a lot of the crap that got thrown at her.

So given the white man lottery was what we had to deal with I actually didn't make a choice. From my heart I would have chosen Pete Buttigieg, though I thought Chasten and the kids would be miserable in the white house. Also, even though he is the straightest gay man in the history of the world, who can make a case for liberal politics to the most conservative people imaginable, I thought religious prejudice might make people vote against him. I want democrats to get elected no matter what. Also, I didn't want any sitting senators to be chosen because I thought it might eliminate the Democratic Senate majority. I'm fine with Tim Walz. He has good politics.

Smooches,
Keri

Not to take us off the trail of positive vibes, but I find it super concerning that an ex-president with more than 34 felonies has access to super secret details on current national security issues in progress.

I also want to say that in my home state, Oregon, I live in a super red county and my team at work is 80% indoctrinated with members of the Trumpian led GOP. Yesterday one of the members on my team made a “casual comment” to me hoping I’d take her bait. I didn’t, but there’s not too many other places a lady on her 60s can work to earn a living. So I’m very concerned for my safety at work.

I’m still very concerned about how certain sectors of the voting populace will encounter disenfranchisement by bad actors with bad policy to help the deranged person who wants to wreck everything because he’s on a binge to ruin the world.

I can’t wait for our country to vote in majorities of elected democrats, so our law making body of reps and senators can apply corrective measures to prevent bad actors from being eligible for executive office.

Goooooo Kamala! Gooooooo Walz!
