Tbh I don't think Bush or Cheney are out of the question to send in a video by the end of the week
When are they going to do the John McCain tribute?
Cindy McCain, wife of the late Sen. John McCain and a longtime Republican, will be among those highlighted on Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention, where she will outline the “unlikely friendship” her husband had with former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of his nomination for the Democratic ticket.“I was honored to accept the invitation from the Biden campaign to participate in a video celebrating their relationship,” McCain said in a tweet about the two men’s decadeslong friendship.It’s unclear whether her appearance on Tuesday will amount to an official endorsement of the former vice president.A short clip of the video that will play Tuesday describes Biden and McCain’s introduction. Biden was a young senator from Delaware and McCain a Senate liaison for the Navy following his release as a prisoner of war from Vietnam, and McCain was assigned to be a military aide for Biden for a trip overseas. The two eventually became friends, with their families gathering for picnics in the Bidens’ backyard.“They would just sit and joke. It was like a comedy show, sometimes, to watch the two of them,” Cindy McCain says in the short clip, which is interspersed with clips of Biden and her husband playfully chiding each other.

They both look like they're wearing another human being's face as a mask.
lol admitting you grew up in 2008
The ad I remember seeing the most times from the McCain campaign accused Obama of wanting to teach sex ed to kindergarteners.
And though Harris was not the most progressive woman under consideration to be Biden’s running mate, she was Sanders’s preferred choice, a person familiar with his thinking said. He, like Biden, saw the California senator as the best boost for the ticket’s chances against Trump.
What if America had a chance to build its health care system all over again?Rwanda did just that 25 years ago after the genocide.

Wow, this is the worst opposition ad of all-time.

which party am I in
For two hours last night, about 20 members of the Ohio chapter of Our Revolution, the political organization spun out of Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign, watched the Democratic National Convention’s kickoff with, it seemed, varying amounts of bitterness. Some watched with their camera turned off, as speaker after speaker extolled the virtues of Joe Biden, while others could be seen hunkered over their computer in some dark corner of their home.But when John Kasich, the former Republican governor of Ohio, appeared on-screen, the chat descended briefly into despair. “Oh lord,” someone wrote. “Drinking now,” said another. A third person could muster only a digital sound: “UUUGGGHHHHHHH .”
“Now that they’re choosing to explicitly court the centrist and conservative vote, that shows that there is not going to be a lot of room” to move Biden left, Eric Deamer, a 47-year-old former Sanders volunteer from Lakewood, Ohio, told me in an interview after the Zoom call.Progressives I’ve spoken to do admit that persuading moderate Republicans to vote for Biden could be key to unseating Trump in November. But Kasich, one of four Republican speakers last night, was too much for many leftists across the country. The former governor—who spoke for two minutes about America being at a crossroads, while standing at a literal crossroads—once fought (unsuccessfully) to strip public employees of collective-bargaining power. In 2018, he signed one of the country’s most restrictive abortion laws.In Ohio, Kasich “is the enemy among Democrats,” Deamer said. “To see him reincarnated as this nice, middle-of-the-road guy”—and occupying a time slot that could have gone to a progressive—is “a real slap in the face.” Kasich, a former U.S. representative who worked closely with Newt Gingrich in the ’90s, billed himself in his address as a patriotic pragmatist who wants to save the country from Trump, and he offered assurances to other Republicans that Biden will not make a “sharp left” turn if they vote for him. After Kasich finished his speech, Deamer posted in the Zoom chat: “The Kasich thing killed me. I am now dead.”
Josie Moore, a Cleveland-based copy editor on the Our Revolution call, teared up when she explained her frustrations to me in a private breakout room on Zoom. To see Republicans “being given such a prominent speaking role when the convention is such an identifying event for Democrats …” she trailed off. “I feel like I’ve been abandoned by my party.”
“The concept that these [former Republicans] are somehow to be trusted and have any [intention] at all of keeping with the proposed Democratic agenda is preposterous,” Levon Siler, the lead organizer for Our Revolution Cincinnati, told me in a separate call toward the end of last night’s programming. Siler and other progressives argue that the economic and health crises facing the nation require massive and immediate government interventions—the kind that many moderates and former Republicans don’t support. “The alignment of the Democratic Party with Republicans undermines any serious overtures on [Biden’s] part to enact these vital reforms,” Siler wrote in a follow-up text.
Around 10:30 p.m. ET, when Sanders finally appeared on-screen in front of a large stack of chopped wood, only a handful of people remained on the call. They smiled wistfully in their little Zoom squares, and they guessed about the symbolism of the firewood—maybe he chopped it himself? someone suggested. But no one commented when Sanders praised Biden’s pledge to raise the federal minimum wage to $15, and no one cheered at his guarantee that Biden would transition the U.S. economy to 100 percent clean energy. No one said anything when Sanders promised that Biden would do his utmost as president to “move the country forward.” Even he couldn’t make them believe it.

AOC knows when you're facing an enemy with overwhelming strength you have to use guerilla tactics. She's studied the writings of Nestor Makhno.
Is there any actual polling in battleground states? I have no idea how Biden's doing besides "+10 nationally"
