They’ll run Weekend at Biden’s before they let AOC have a go.
LOL AOC.
Same corporate dem, groomed since high school with a carefully crafted image.
Ready to replace Bernie the sheepdog as token ‘left’.It was my understanding that she doesn’t take corporate donations. Neither does Jasmine Crockett. I looked previously. They have very few high name supporters. Bernie can’t be trusted though. Dude got bought a long time ago.
I’m out of the loop here boss. Can you explain what’s going on with Bernie?
The donations are public. Last I checked he’s eaten up with big corporations. AOC and Jasmine Crockett were not. It wasn’t too long ago, and it explained why some people represent citizens while others don’t. Notice Crockett busts their asses constantly.
IDC about corporate donations.
She was groomed from higfh school age as part of a hispanic democratic program.
They can’t shut up about how she was a simple waitress while at the time she ran an israeli start up.
She hasn’t been artound for as long as Bernie the snake but it’s clear from her corporate votes (and accompanying crocodile tears and excuses) she does the same thing.
There are already plenty plenty of examples.I wish the mods would give us a YouTube to alt bot. Maybe I can fix that in my side by fiddling with a resolver some place.
Google were awful US regime scum decades ago, now everyone feels the need to do something about them.
The top 3 in that should be a non-starter. I’d support AOC. I don’t actually know enough about the others to comment one way or the other.
I hate to tell you, but a hardcore progressive will not be nominated. As they always do, the party leadership will decide that the way to beat MAGA is to be MAGA.
Stop obsessing over the presidency. You want revolution? All politics is local. Start by putting younger progressives on planning commissions, school boards. Move up to city councils, county supervisor. Then start taking state offices. You have to elect progressives to local offices for name recognition.
Fortunately this is happening, and has been for a decade now. We need to keep it up.
This plan didn’t work with Trump in 2016. Republicans rammed him in where he wasn’t (shouldn’t have been) welcome because they refused to allow any other candidate. In the same election, Democrats let their party officials to ram Hillary through because the party wouldn’t accept Bernie.
Suggest we find someone WE like and do what Republicans did. It doesn’t matter if it’s an “outsider” or not, but I’d appreciate it if we could not pick a child rapist and sex trafficker, kthx!
I genuinely think our candidate hasn’t really made themselves known to be willing to run yet. I don’t think it’s AOC this time, though I think she’s got what it takes to do the job. I don’t think it’s Harris, people still feel burned by 2020. I hope we can do better than Newsom.
Kinda still want to draft Jon Stewart because he genuinely gives a fuck, can communicate like few others, knows how to be damned serious when he needs to be, and if he were on that list today he’d be near the top if not at it, just like that. And when asked, he didn’t say no. We could do far worse and still be okay.
But yeah, I’m waiting to see what happens. I don’t think the candidate I want that I’m sure will win is on the field yet. But I hope AOC is the running mate, whoever that person winds up being.
Jon Stewart admitted he was in the Epstien Files. He was mentioned by Epstein as the type of person they needed to “properly present” one of their stories/ lies.
He didn’t have to admit anything. He just wants to be as honest and transparent with people as he can be.
Some of his recent interviews have given me the tiniest shred of hope that he may run. He isn’t flatly shutting down the idea any more. He isn’t saying he will run, but he used to be vehemently against the idea.
It’s depressing that a fucking comedian is legitimately one of the better options for a presidential candidate.
Yeah, maybe they should find someone more qualified like a banker or a lawyer.
On the other hand, a comedian has been thwarting one of the richest, most powerful men in the world for the last 4 years.
As opposed to the usual economic parasite from the owner class?
The things a person does for a living or a hobby do not make someone more or less fit for an elected position. Their character, intelligence, and ideals do. Jon Stewart has all of those qualities.
There is only one name on the above list that shouldn’t be repeatedly kicked in the face and barred from any position of authority, and that’s AOC. Everyone else is corrupt as hell.
I wasn’t shitting on him or saying he wasn’t qualified. Just saying it’s sad that none of the actual civil servants who have presumably dedicated their lives to it are good candidates. The guy who’s primary goal has been to entertain people for most of his life just fucking fell into it and is better than all of them. It’s depressing.
The reason republicnas in 2016 were able to get trump is partly because the primary field was so saturated with milquetost candidates. The party apparatus was kind of behind Jeb Bush, but Jeb cluld not stand up against the abuse Trump threw at hime and the others. This was the good times, before trump actually won, but was totally abusing these generic polititians. Its really where the cult around him started.
For the dems though, it really was just Bernie vs Hillary. The party machine coalesced around her years before the primaries even began, and despite what we think about her she was more capable than Jeb Bush. Bernie dis not undress her like Trump did to Jeb, but rank and file Dem voters were different at that time. Still fear driven. Still full of “its time for a woman!” Energy. Not that there is anything wrong with a female president, but that identity was about as deep as it got for some people.
In many ways, the dem party rank and file is more united now than it was in 2016. We couldnt have rammed Bernie through (believe me we tried) because there were enough people who truely wanted Hillary, or were too afraid to “risk it” on Bernie.
If the party really wanted to stop Trump, they would’ve done what the democrats did to Bernie. Hell, the democrats themselves helped Trump: https://www.salon.com/2016/11/09/the-hillary-clinton-campaign-intentionally-created-donald-trump-with-its-pied-piper-strategy/
You can see with how quickly all the oligarchs lined up to kiss Trump’s ass that they’re perfectly happy with him being in power.
Democrats spent years neglecting State and County elections to focus their main attention on flashy National races that could bring in big donors. Coupled with how Democrats with name recognition like to park their asses in Congress until they’re frail and elderly, never making way for the next generation, there’s just not a deep pool of talent to draw on for the Presidency.
AOC is the candidate I see available who would be the best suited for the actual White House but I have doubts she could win the Primary or the General. Gavin might be electable but his problems are deep enough they might discourage folks Left of Center from backing him and I really wouldn’t want him in the White House anyways. Mark Kelly is getting his name tossed around. I don’t know enough about him to know how I’d feel about electing him. He might be electable though. He’s getting National name recognition with his battle against Hegseth. He’s a moderate and a military veteran with appeal among Independents. He doesn’t seem to have any real controversies and he’s new enough to politics to not have alot of baggage or strong negative opinions attached to him (though that could change in 3 years). JB Pritzker being a billionaire would hurt him among Leftists but he could win both the Primaries and General I think. His wealth could help him rally support from both the Upper Classes and Democratic party insiders. His relative lack of controversy or strong negative opinions about him would help him in the General as would his growing name recognition on the National stage. Plus he’s isn’t afraid to go for the political jugular when he needs too. Personally don’t want a Billionaire as president but I would prefer him over Newsom. And Kamala is a joke. She’ll have even less support this time then last time. If super delegates start to rally around her, you’ll know for a fact she’s the controlled opposition candidate.
Mark Kelly is a pretty respectable dude who should have wide appeal, even if he’s not super progressive. Pritzker could do it, you’re right. Either one of these two saying they want AOC as a running mate (and actually listening to her) elevates them on my list of candidates immediately.
He’s simultaneously pretty moderate and rabidly anti-gun, he seems unelectable to me.
Can we not pick another boomer for president? I’m very much done with that whole generation.
I don’t think we should vote for anyone who’s gonna be over 65 when their term ends.
Don’t worry because as we know Kamala is brat
Jay Pritzker
American democracy is selecting whether you wont to be hit in the face or the groin, and then being handed a “I voted” sticker to wear on your shirt.
I might try “groin” next time just to mix it up. Yes, I know I am terrible and I am why the system sucks. I know.
Fuck Harris. I’d vote for a blue Smurf than her. Gimme something you retarded Dems!
Regurgitating failed policy and ideas is all they got.
Please tell me this isn’t real, they aren’t polling already, with Harris out in front?
We learned nothing. I know the establishment learned nothing, they are as arrogant in passing the buck onto voters for their bad status quo candidates. Because she’s a minority woman it’s ok they lost, because everyone’s a racist sexist. Is the subtext.
Of course she was widely hated, including by woman and blacks, and lost ground with all groups. But the establishment taught the sheep to bleet that part, and they are repeating it in loud chorus, bleeting at anyone wanting a change of strategy, saying it’s them to blaaaaaaa me for not believing hard enough.
It’s way too early to even be thinking about this, but Harris is out. Newsome is out, for not throwing his hat in the ring in 2024 when we needed someone that could win, and he could with a little populist platforming. Hell Harris could’ve won, if she attacked some groups cheating us and forcefully and convincingly told us she would fix healthcare and drugs.
We cannot even have that though. The rich won’t allow us what every other country in the developed world gets, even as the only alternative is guarenteed death of the republic permanent dictatorship of the worst people in the world fully intent on putting people into concentration camps if they get support to do it.
Why did they leave out RO KHANNA?
This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
Lol wtf is Harris doing here?
Polls like this look are based on name-recognition. Harris is the first (and only) name a lot of people will come up with when asked “who should be the Democratic candidate?”
She doesn’t seem interested (she hasn’t been working on keeping her name in the news like Newsom has), so she’ll fall off the polls as other people climb.
Representing the planned opposition that is nearly the entirety of the Democratic party.
No she has to loose to Trump again. It’s the only way to be sure. Never be different, let’s just try it again
Let’s get Clinton back. It’s her turn!
Gross
We forgetting something? Doesn’t matter who the Dems shove out there, Trump can’t run again.
Should I draft up a list of all of the Amendments of the US Constitution that have been ignored over the past 13 months?
Don’t concede any ground. There’s no need to make it any easier on them.
Saying that he may (probably will) illegally run is not conceding ground. It’s preparing for the future. If you nievely assume he’s just going to follow the law then you will be unprepared for when he doesn’t.
Old man time will veto it, there will be a succession sooner or later, that is our shot to take it back in the infighting if we can get a real candidate, a popular aggressive one because they will be cheating every way they can, which is a lot.
You’re right. Acting like him trying for 3rd term is an inevitability is how his dumb fuck ideas get normalized.
At this point I can only conclude that the dnc want a third trump. Though, I guess that tracks, they can continue plundering and getting aipac money and doing fuck all while saying ‘eeeehhhhh we’re soooooo powerless what are we suppppoooosedddd to dooooo!?’
Dems may as well run Satan, at least he has a chance to win unlike harris.
Please don’t run Harris again.
They will, then blame everyone else again when she loses
Accuse them all of bigotry. As if that would justify it. We nominated a minority we knew couldn’t win but it’s ok because the voters are bigoted therefore it’s justified throwing the election.
The voters are rejecting these candidates for their own qualities, I’m just saying if it was bigotry it wouldn’t justify them nominating a doomed to fail candidate in the slightest, and in no way should enable them to stay in power in the party to force another one on us. As super delegates remain in the party.
She will get destroyed in the primaries. She has zero chance of winning once people are paying attention. These results in the tweet are meaningless because unless you’re a politics Andy like you and I you have no idea who any of these people are besides Harris. Honestly, I hope she runs. She’ll split the vote with other corporate owned Democrats like Newsom.
Realistically, all the corpo owned dems will consolidate power behind their frontrunner and drop out if there is a genuine chance of an outsider winning. No?
They will. And they’ll try to run a spoiler progressive candidate like Elizabeth Warren was in 2020. But they’ll still lose.
Looking forward to seeing it happen. :)
Hillary 2028
Hilary/Cheney 2028, we heard your issues and complaints so we removed everything that could possibly be considered left
Dont you put that evil on us Ricky Bobby!
