  • Who will be the Democratic nominee in 2024?

    This isn't intended as a Biden bash as I think he is a decent human being yet it is becoming more clear by the day that he simply isn't up to the task. His candidacy was built upon the premise that due to his 30 years in the Senate he was uniquely positioned to bring Democrats and Republicans together. As it turns out he has been unable to even bring Democrats together. He needs to go play with the grandkids.

    The problems as I see it for the Democrats is that there simply isn't a lot of electable depth on the bench. Harris would be a disaster worse than the HRC candidacy, Bernie and Warren are too far left for US society, and the list goes on.

    How good is your crystal ball? Who do you see "losing" to Trump in 2024?

      I know you jest but Democrats can't pass legislation. I'm pretty sure scrapping the 22nd Amendment is right out.

      Too bad since Obama would probably be a better candidate than what they can offer at this time.

        Yeah... I guess Michelle Obama has no interest to go into that sort of stuff. Which is a pity in the grand scheme of things, as she seems to be smart, and also personality/character-wise someone who could do a good job.

          Jimmy Carter is still alive. He still has one term left.

              Hehe yeah

              Or maybe there's someone currently unknown to the wider public hiding in the Democratic party? I mean, how many had Obama on the radar before he did go for pres? I dunno if there's anyone similarly hopeful in the lower ranksof the Dems these days...

                if you think Joe is decent you just dont know him

                and recent talk of dumping Kamala signals they dont want her to run, so there's a few people longing for what could have been with Hillary

                Tulsi Gabbard, she draws from progs and the right with her foreign policy and service

                but I jest, corporate America makes $$$ off war so she doesn't stand a chance.

                I know who should run for the GOP, DeSantis looks like the heir apparent

                but Democrats? Jesse Ventura, Arnold, THE ROCK!

                I cant see anyone on the horizon for the Democrats

                  "decent" is all relative in US politics.

                  At least Tulsi isn't retirement age. I remember when we used to laugh at pictures of the geriatric USSR leadership. It isn't so funny now.

                I wish Tulsi, but not happening. I prefer DeSantis for the Republicans.

                  He certainly has appeal on the right. Do you think he would challenge Trump if he ran?

                  He has appeal with everyone that isn't pro-establishment and doesn't believe all that "That's racist" bs they always use to brainwash people. Idk if he will or not. It's kind of up to Trump I think.

                  thats the elephant in the room, DeSantis cant afford angering Trump so he basically needs to bend the knee if Trump decides to run. Problem for Trump is he produced a massive turnout to get rid of him

                Even though he refuse to provide evidence that he didn't sexually assault Tara Reed, when that evidence would be easily obtained if it existed? Even though he constantly falsely accuses people, even people in his own party of the worst kind of thing? Even though he's a racist that calls black people "negro" in 2022? Even though he constantly makes up stories to make himself look good, like saying over and over again that he was arrested as a freedom marcher in the Civil Rights movement?

                What exactly makes you think he's a decent human being?

                  Hillary desperately wants it to be her. Everyone knows Kamala is a loser who is not liked by anyone but I am afraid the Democrats will not be able to avoid that train wreck. Can you imagine the woke howls if "the first woman of color" got passed over? The left lives by racism and so that racism will probably cause them to zombie walk into a land slide lose.

                    I'd vote for Gabbard.

                      Has Tulsi actually done anything since dropping out? She's not in Congress anymore.

                        Fair enough, but I think the Democrats will get pretty much the same percent of the black vote no matter what. Woke white people will likely support anyone too. But Hispanics are who they need to worry about.
