I know can sometimes be a Kamala simp when things feel low, but this is a bit much. Threads being Threads as usual.
When the US collapses, do we get to hang a banner about Hillary/Kamala being the true 45/47th Presidents a la the Expos and the "Best Record in Baseball" banner at their last game?

Matt just happened to fall into a game show or three with some lore (imagine if he derailed Ken early on) along the way. We'd be stuck in Mike Richards hell.

This summer, a now-former friend (mid 60s/M/LA, retired TV C-suiter) and I went to task multiple times as he had personal issues with Kamala Harris even though he grew up in NYC and knew "Captain Von Shitz a Lot" was worse.
This is gaslight, right? Or will the real Kamala Harris please stand up?

![You continue todelude yourself into the false belief that she [Kamala Harris] actually was capable of delivering what you so desperately want to believe – even now.
I personally know people who know her
going back to her law clerk days in San
Francisco and also people who know her
personally – indeed set her up with Doug,
She's anything but you what you think
she is. She may be a better person – that's a low bar – but you're driving yourself mad into actually thinking she would have been capable of leading this country at this time,
especially with the degree of determination a Red Congress would have challenged literally every move she attempted to make.
The true crime is that your party made foolish deals with who they thought could lead them to victory, starting with the denial of Biden's decline that left them with no better choice and no time to find one. You can continue to believe what you choose because you seem to be almost
deranged in your level of hatred – and
with cause – but for God's sake stop
pushing the narrative that she would
have been the real solution. I personally
know way too many people – Democrats – who would laugh you off if they could.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2yquzuzoklasyvqw3wm4yivf/bafkreicnbtmd4rjfz2f6jr3jenmmc6mlujziyhkwnxhilzhxzrg2sp247q@jpeg)

If Connecticut is such a utopia, why did the Whalers leave? Why are they constantly trolling New York on pizza and Massachusetts on basketball?
Heck, if Connecticut is a utopia, why haven't we seen a parade of people move there? I love Connecticut but it is it's own worst enemy.

"Why does everyone bother the most unbothered place of New England? Connecticut is quiet, dark, and boring to some but to others?

Help me. I can't get off of that God forsaken cesspit.

Let me get this straight.
The NCGA is 71R-49D.
The NC Senate is 30R-20D.
The SCONC is 5R-2D.
The Council of State is split but the Auditor became a Shadow Governor out of spite.
But Democrats run North Carolina because the Governor is a Democrat.
Make this make sense. #NCpol

We have entered nostalgia for 2010. The same 2010 in which Democrats, in a Census/redistricting year, fell asleep at the wheel, crashed the car, and gave the insurance money to the Republicans.
I miss 2010 too but, remember, Democrats sat on their hands post-ACA.
