At the top of his first speech as her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz turned to Vice President Kamala Harris and declared, “Thank you for bringing back the joy.” The next day, Harris took the theme a step further, branding the Democratic ticket “joyful warriors.”

Contrast that with former President Donald Trump, who opened a news conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida a few days later by saying, “We have a lot of bad things coming up,” and predicting the U.S. could fall into an economic depression unseen since the dark days of 1929 or even another world war.

“I think that our country is, right now, in the most dangerous position it’s ever been in, from an economic standpoint, from a safety standpoint,” Trump said Thursday.

    The Biden administration was incredible on everything except Gaza, with Harris being even further left so far with a full endorsement of the PRO Act, there’s lots to hope for with Harris.

      There is nothing to hope for with another democrat. We’ve seen them pull back the football for decades. They can’t be trusted

        Oh a Third Partyer? Have fun joining the crowd of people who have been trying for the past century. If you’d actually like to engage in good faith political analysis you would see that both parties are incredibly different than a century ago and can be changed.

          Imagine trying to call out 3rd party voter as trying for the past century, while being a Democrat that keeps doing the same thing over and over and wondering why they keep failing

            I haven’t been failing though? The party is much more progressive than the era of Clinton and Carter, Sanders even running in the Democratic primary would’ve been unimaginable a few decades ago, let alone him almost winning to the point where corporate dems had to pull out every single trick to try and stop it.

            Even with them trying to stop Bernie, he’s the most popular politician, and his supporters now make up a large percentage of the Democratic supporters and activists.
