Progressives are not running the party. That's part of the reason the Gen Z is so mad. Whitmer ruined her career over doritos but Trump is our president. This is the problem with dems. We need to be pristine while Rs can run sexual predators. |
Need to be pristine? No, silly. How about just get back to being normal and stop nominating 80 year old people. Whether you'll admit it or not, some misguided voters did actually vote for Biden in the 2020 Dem primaries. I realize he was forced down our throats by the party's mega donors but we could have fought back by vigorously fighting back with votes against him in the 2020 primary. We allowed it to happen and now we're whining about the impacts of electing a 77 year old 1st term president four years later. Hey, try this- the next time your political party starts a messaging campaign telling everyone that a 77 year old is the "best" the party can come up with to beat the worst opposition candidate in American history, tell them to shove the eff off! |
Right. Don't underestimate how much that dorito thing will piss off high church Christians (Catholics, Orthodox, Episcopalians, Lutherans). My husband is an ex Catholic who hasn't been to Mass in a decade and he was ticked off. |
I know this is hard for the DCUM atheists to understand but the Dorito thing just spelled out for Christians the absolute contempt that Democrats hold for them. Whereas Trump's failings can be rationalized with something like "hate the sin, not the sinner." Whether he is faking it or not, he doesn't act like he loathes Christianity and all it stands for and that's enough for some people. |
Has there ever been someone as unqualified as Pete become President?
It’s a testament to how bad the Democratic bench is that he’s talked about as a legit Presidential candidate. |
If dems want to lose, prop up this open borders loon. |
When Clinton passed Republican ideas like NAFTA and welfare reduction programs against Democrat party leaders’ wishes while repealing Glass Steagall and letting Wall Street go Haywire with the dot com bubble and mortgage speculation, the working poor especially Rust Belt got shafted. Bill Clinton was this close to privatizing Medicare as well until Dems stopped him. He was a horrible president for the progressives , and he topped it all off by moving to New York City rather than Arkansas. This is why Hillary lost. She has Bill to thank. Ted Kennedy found it easier to work with President Bush than President Clinton |
Hopefully the Venezuelan gangs take over the Denver city hall |
The dems aren’t going to run a real primary ever again. Their corporate donors are too afraid a real democratic process would select someone they can’t control/a real progressive not in the pockets of Wall Street. They can’t have a Bernie Sanders caucus candidate win the primary.
They will hand select Gavin Newsome for 2028 and scrub the web starting now regarding all his scandal like the failures in San Francisco. The citizens of San Fran had to check a poo app called snapcrap to see if homeless people defecated around a public area. This is who Obama and Nancy Pelosi wanted to run this year to replace Biden. As governor, California ran out of water. Americans don’t want to turn the country into San Francisco/California. |
One problem that people don’t talk about is that Buttegieg was the only Biden administration cabinet member who got any attention at all. His cabinet did not create any stars |
Not to mention that the Telecommunications Act of 1996 single-handedly destroyed the future of rock music. If need be, Rick Beato can explain it to you. |
The Dems should go w/AOC. She is the most representative of their ideals. She is also energetic and attractive, which shows well on TV. I think the Dems run best, when they are run hard left, don’t water down the message. That drives away your core. VP pic should be left of AOC, it shows confidence in the future direction of the party. |
Since when were Presidents or even party leaders born out of cabinets? The only examples I can even recall are GHWBush being head of CIA. Then at the VP level there’s Cheney as Secretary of Defense. Most Presidents are former governors or senators. |
Obama reportedly wanted Mark Kelly. The fact that we can all already picture the attack ads against Newsom is all the proof that he’s not viable. |
