Anyone wanna bet . . .

how long - after Kamala wins - the media will start the whole "she needs to reach out to the other side" meme? Double or nothing on whether - after TFG loses - the media will start suggesting that the Repubs need to reassess their platform instead of constantly crying foul.

Maga doesn’t even come close to that … a carefully vetted republican yes.

Not what our response would be/should be.

I think kamala will put a republican on her team, but it wont be someone who supported tsf.

just needing to vent at our one sided corporate media and their shameless use of the double standard. Was in no way suggesting what she should do.

Van Jones said it best: Trump gets to be lawless while Harris has to be flawless. The two of them are not taking the same exam.

Replace "Trump" with "Republicans" and "Harris" with "Democrats" and you'll find the same has held true for thirty years at least.

It's frustrating, really...
