Pretty soon, the Harris campaign will sell merch with the running mate's name on it, too! Say what you will about the veepstakes — they've been a little nutty, but they've certainly kept everyone engaged. That wasn't expected in the run-up to the Democratic convention before President Biden dropped out, but Team Kamala was handed a golden opportunity to keep up the attention, and they've met it well. At least, it seems to be driving Benedict Donald crazy, in a lot of ways.
Here's an example: In his ridiculous speech in Atlanta yesterday, Donald said that Harris couldn't fill the same venue a week before. This was, in characteristic Trump fashion, the exact opposite of the truth. His rally was the one with the empty seats and the unresponsive crowd. Perhaps malignant narcissists are able to find comfort by deep-down actually believing the up-is-down, black-is-white lies they tell others.
The media, meanwhile, might be coming to terms with the fact that their comfy (i.e., lazy) three-week narrative of the Incredible, Inevitable Trump is falling apart. (Accent on "might" — assume nothing where American political journalism is involved.) But with reports of Republicans packing state election boards with MAGAts who will refuse to certify the 2024 election results, we sure hope that newspapers and networks are deciding now how they will cover it in November.
There can be no both-sides-ism when democracy's in danger. Just check out what's happening in Venezuela. We cats HISS.
