Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

The former president and first lady threw their weight behind the presumptive Democratic nominee

Barack and Michelle Obama have endorsed Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination for president, sharing the news in a joint phone call.

A video released by the campaign suggests the former president and first lady called Harris on Thursday while the vice president was in Houston, where she addressed the American Federation of Teachers and received a briefing on recovery efforts following Hurricane Beryl. 

“We called to say, Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office,” Barack Obama is heard telling Harris in a 55-second video of the call. 

“This is going to be historic,” Michelle Obama tells Harris.

Michelle: When they go low we go high.

Kamala: Let the meme trolling begin!

If we do end up descending into a Draconian hellhole of an autocratic dictatorship at least the election run-up is going to be exponentially more entertaining than it was going to be with Joe.

I say that dictatorship part because don't think for a second that the GOP is gonna just roll over and die. Expect hard-line challenges to vote counts in every single swing state.

I've been saying this since Sunday. We just blew up the Death Star, but the Empire is still a threat. The fight ain't over, yet.

How did we blow up the Death Star? No victories have been achieved yet.

This is more like Han hanging over the reigns of the Millenium Falcon to Lando in RotJ. The battle hasn’t even begun.

There's a "simple" solution to prevent their civil war plans. You got to crush them at the voting stations so hard that every question about foul play gets destroyed in its roots.

Brace yourself for a massive disinformation campaign against Harris as soon as they recover from the initial shock. Don't buy into any crap you see about her going forward. Eat no for breakfast.

I already saw a photoshopped picture of her hugging Epstein. It was her hugging her husband with Epstein's head

Took 1 google search to debunk. But morons on FB shared it anyway.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 37 points 2 years ago (4 children)

We should combat this by Photoshopping her head on Trump's body with already well establish photos of trump/Epstein

Republicans are so angry these days with Harris. First it was the Obama’s did not indorse her because she can’t win now they are just really angry. They know they are going to lose. I love it.

They know they are going to lose.

Wow, in actually starting to feel a little hope for the future of this world. Trump as president will be a disaster for this entire world, all of US. All citizens in the world should have a vote since the US has made itself so important, yet all of us depend on democrats who aren't sure if they should vote and religious extremists who want trump.
