I genuinely can't tell if your enthusiasm for Harris is pure cope or you actually think she's a decent candidate who won't get annihilated at the ballot box.
Worcs was claiming that any criticism of Biden's neurological state was anti-Trump propaganda right up until the point he stood down, so I would say the former.
I don't actually know what "pure cope" means, although I imagine it's something to do with being disingenuous or fantastical. If so, I haven't been either at any point. I maintain that Biden's mental faculties are miles better than Trump's. I also believe that Kamala is greatly superior to Trump and that there are many Americans who wouldn't support Biden because they thought he was too old who will rally round her. The signs are clearly there:
As for the video that Jacko posted, I don't know to what extent the the things Tulsi Gabbard was referring to was true (although the audience, however it was comprised, seemed to). What I do know is that, 4 years on, Gabbard is now a far-right loon who worships Trump - see this article.
- $81m raised in the first 24 hours - the largest ever by a presidential candidate over that time period (it's now over $110m). This adds to the Democrats' existing coffers of more than £250m
- 888,000 of those donors are grass root donors, 60% of whom have donated for the first time during this election cycle
- In a little over a day, she's already been endorsed by 83% of Democrat congresspeople and 82% of Democrat senators (see here if you don't believe me)
I would have expected more people here would be keen to see the back of Trump and would be stressing his many faults, rather than constantly seeking to pick holes in the Democrats and posts made in support of their efforts to defeat Trump.
Cope - coping mechanism.
