Kamala Harris Killed It. Then Taylor Swift Endorsed Her. Now I Think It’s Over. Even Fox News couldn’t spin the truth: Trump lost the debate—badly.

    When even Brit Hume, paid surrogate for Trump has to admit he lost badly, you know it was an absolute slaughter.

  2. I’ve been looking forward to prosecutor Harris on stage with orange felon Donny for weeks.

    She did not disappoint. In truth, she knocked it out of the ballpark and took that weak, tiny, little man down in a way NO ONE ELSE has been able to do.

    And… Taylor Swift gave Harris a trophy afterwards. The night could not have gone any better. 

  3. Harris played Trump like a fiddle and helped him look like the absolute fool he is.

    I’m not even certain old man Trump was conscious for most of that.

  4. I thought Trump managed to hold it together right up until the immigrate eating dogs comment. Up until that point he was giving typical Trump answers that were still deeply alarming (particularly his response to the Jan 6 question), but still fairly controlled. Trump went off the “I seen it on TV” rails the moment Harris hit his vanity by pointing out his rallies are low energy which causes people to leave them early. Between immigrants eating dogs and post birth abortions, I can’t see how anyone who is moderate can stomach voting for a deranged Fox News grandpa.

    its not over, he has a cult following. They believe every word he says. They even believe things were great when he was in charge.. you know those wonderful 2-3 years after Obama saved the country from the great recession and before we ran head long into a pandemic.. Trump supporters cant understand that administration actions have lagging effects. Inflation wasn’t created in weeks. a new presidents policy takes time to implement and time to affect the economy.

    “Don’t sell the skin till you have caught the bear” – some clever guy centuries ago. Don’t let your guard down people.

  7. It’s definitely NOT over.

    Stop saying that.

    It’s over for the people after VOTING day. Not sure how long the courts will take to finish up.

  8. “**By Game Day—because yes, mainstream political reporters mostly cover their beats like sports reporters**—it felt like Trump couldn’t lose and Harris couldn’t win.”

    Truer words were never written.

  9. The Taylor Swift fan base aren’t just teenage girls who can’t vote…she’s been on top of the charts well over a decade.

  10. Hey republicans. Just wanted to inform you my wife watched 30 seconds of Trump speaking during the debate and asked me to help her register to vote so she can vote for Kamala.

    Then she watched him rant about migrants eating pets and asked if he was diagnosed with dementia before the debate because wtf is he talking about.

    You all need to have a real long conversation. I think it’s time. He will lose. Give it a few more days let the polls come out to help convince you. But the man needs help

  11. I don’t care much for TS, her music and life in general, but I must say it was very well delivered, eloquent message that states her political views. At the same time she doesn’t discourage her fans from voting for DT. Instead asks to do research, make up your own mind and most importantly register for voting. I wish more so called “influential” people were the same.

  12. Last night felt like the bullshit veil was lifted off our heads after 9 horrible years. I’m a 50 year old fat, white dude dying from cancer. I haven’t felt any hope or true joy since the wannabe dictator was elected.
    Today I woke up smiling and today I start in honest phone banking for Kamala because I can’t afford a substantial donation. I need to help her get elected and volunteer on the phone banks suits me well. I did proudly buy some of the smaller merch like buttons and stickers though.
    I’m just so fucking happy this morning and it’s because of Harris/Walz. The joy is real. The hope is real. She rose to last night’s occasion and left orange streaks on the floor because she wiped the floor with his lying face.
    Thank you Kamala. I’ll do my best to get you and Tim where you deserve to be. Thank you for restoring my sense of hope and a smile from the beginning last night through this morning. Thank you Ms. Swift as well. Great timing which I’m sure was coordinated to have the best impact.
    Sorry for the wall of text but I’m bursting at the seams of my fat frame which is no easy task. I’ll try not to hurt anyone with a button flying off my shirt. Thank you Kamala and Tim!! Thank you Reddit and r/politics for listen to my joyful babble. You all rock!!

  13. It’s not over. Register. Check to ensure you are still registered. And vote. No one should stay home and assume it’s over. Don’t repeat 2016.

    Havent seen anyone mention this, her answer about Gaza was absolutely perfect, calling for a 2 state solution and pretty much for a free Palestine, while Trump didnt even have an answer for the subject other than empty ramblings. This could seriously move the needle in that group.

    Even if they dont say it online or through polls, I believe her answer tonight will drive a lot of them to vote for her on election day.

  15. I agree. She nailed her points and he totally showed how incompetent he is.

    But… my wife’s circle of friends and family on other social media are all about how she lied all the way through it, she is a commie, and they’re voting for Don-old because he’s the only one that tells it like it is. And he’ll cut their taxes. And protect those infants from being aborted after being born. And protect the cats and dogs of Springfield Ohio.

    Some people are just too far gone to realize their steady diet of Fox News and others like it have given them diabetes of the brain. Common sense gone. No trust of anything not fed by their master.

    So… don’t let up. Check your registration. Tell your friends. Vote BLUE damn it!

    It’s not over. This election will be decided in swings states and the margin in those states is razor thin. Right now the focus needs to be on getting everyone to vote.

  17. It’s not over until Kamala is in the White House and trump is relegated to a footnote of history

  18. This overconfidence is insane. Trump has a strong block of voters who will vote for him no matter what and there are plenty of idiotic swing voters out there too. All you have to do is to look at the polls to see that it’s nowhere close to over.

  19. It is literally insane for anyone to think this election is over before November 5th. These people need to get their heads checked, it’s like 2016 never happened..

    “But Trump didn’t use the N word, so he looked presidential.”

    – NY Times, probably

    No complacency. Action, volunteer, donate and do call banks. It’s not about beating Trump. It’s every MAGA republican and conservative that’s against women’s rights and other normal people things that need to be defeated badly. 

    Make an example of these mindless cult pieces of shit. Beat them at the voting booth and force this dangerous cult to the very fringes of our country. 

  22. It isn’t over till the election is certified, but I won’t lie: last night was very heartening for any American with a conscience.

  23. No. Such complacency is dangerous. This is far from over, and democrats have to keep the pressure on. We need every single vote.

  24. First, Harris did an amazing job. She obviously had a smart plan and executed it well. I appreciated so many of her answers and feel reassured on a few things.

    As for Trump – I think Trump is deeply racist and misogynistic. I think he has an emotional, fearful response to black people that older racists have and if Trump can’t immediately place himself in power over black people he is in proximity to he gets outraged and it cycles through rage and fear. I think that is why he came across so differently this debate than others. He is literally scared to be near her.

  25. Do Not Become Complacent. We need a massive congressional majority to enact what needs to be done. It is not over!

    “I think it’s over”

    Stop it. People haven’t voted yet and this kind of talk is very, very dangerous.

    Remember Hillary. In fact, remember Bernie Sanders. Talk and hype and rallies and enthusiasm doesn’t mean shit unless ENOUGH people vote.

  27. The spin is “It was a 3v1 debate”

    Because correcting Trump on his blatant lies is showing bias now, I guess.

  28. I love the energy–but statements like “Now I think it’s over” will *kill us*. We thought 2016 was “over” at one point.

    Vote, get everyone to vote for Kamala, volunteer. Don’t sleep on this election, nor take it as “in the bag”.

  29. Don’t get complacent! Please make sure to check your registration and vote! Also please consider volunteering to help get the vote out!!
