Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.

Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.

Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.

    I remember a week or two ago, the same crowd calling Biden to quit also bitch about how Harris would be a horrible replacement with absolutely zero chance gaining any support.

      It turns out sending in a human instead of a vegetable might work out. That said, many complaints about her past as a “law and order” piece of shit are very valid.

      Even now, I have a few reservations. I hope it doesn’t get framed as some kind of DEI coronation. Well, I know the qons will try, but I mean, will it stick.

      But if she’s the choice, she’s the choice. There are some alternatives I’d rather be running, but it is what it is. I’m still very pumped that Joe stepped down.

        Republicans have been crying wolf about DEI for so long, there’s no way that’s gonna stick.

          Yup, just like CRT or woke, if I see a Republican mention it my brain translates it to “white nationalist grievance.”

        No one on the left is offended by inclusivity, so their tantrums about her race and gender fall on deaf ears.

        Also, folks on the left know she was elected to her biggest roles and not appointed. She earned her way to the top, unlike the shitty fake judges appointed by the cockroach party.
