Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

J.D. Vance delivered a rally speech Tuesday in Pennsylvania with a backdrop that made it appear he was campaigning for his arch nemesis, Kamala Harris. 

The unfortunate signage appeared to stem from the event’s advance team not accounting for its crowd blocking half of a gigantic poster that sat directly behind Vance, which appeared to read in full, “KAMALA CHAOS.”

For those watching on Fox News and other broadcasts, however, the only words clearly visible—in white text on a blue background, in all caps—was simply “Kamala.” 

The apparent gaffe quickly went viral on X, where many joked that Harris’ VP choice in Tim Walz, which was announced just prior to Vance’s rally speech, had convinced Trump’s running mate to switch teams.

"KAMALA CHAOS" is actually pretty cool sounding. She should steal that and find a fun positive spin for it.

It's such a weak attempt at an attack, rubbing it in their faces that they have nothing real they can use against her seems smart.

Sounds like a dope thing to shout before unleashing your anime attack on someone.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

After powering up for three whole episodes, of course.

I picture her yelling that out before twirling with her arms out and knocking over large traffic cones.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 22 points 3 months ago

Dark Brandon vibes.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 21 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Should be her version of trump derangement syndrome. For all the crazy critiques leveled at her - they're just exhibiting symptoms of kamala chaos

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

TDS was always projection from the right. They claimed their opposition was deranged for paying attention while the actual deranged people were frothily defending him against every applicable accusation.

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Oh of course. Never meant to imply otherwise

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Where "applicable accusation" = "fact"

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

I like it, they need to do ads with the monster truck rally voice.

"KAMALA CHAOS! RRRRRRALLY ON MONDAY!

MONDAY!

MONDAY!

WE'LL GIVE YOU THE WHOLE SEAT BUT YOU'LL ONLY

NEED

THE

KAMALA causes

CHAOS for republicans

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

*traitors or failed dictators or wierdo's

Shouldn't alienate moderate Republicans or they will vote for Trump.

Dark Brandon X Kamala Chaos

It’s such a weak attempt at an attack

Not as weak as when Trump called her "Lyin' Kamala" and felt obliged to spell out "Lyin'" (including the apostrophe) so that his kultists would get it. I guess he was worried they'd think he was saying "Lion Kamala".

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I want some Kamala chaos tbh. Let's shake some shit up and see what happens, I'd bet it's better than we've had.

[–] todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago

Imagine an animated campaign commercial with a bunch of panicking ragdoll caricatures of Republican ghouls descending into hellfire as a gigantic Kamala Harris rises up in the background taking over the White House, and the words "KAMALA CHAOS" appears on the screen in exactly the same typeface as what's behind J.D. Vance.

Paid for by the Harris Victory Fund.

Democrats still aren't brave enough to do this.
