Tulsi Gabbard by a landslide

I just did a search, just wondering why she suddenly dropped the dems and joined the GOP?

I recall one evening after watching a debate for 2019-2020 Dem primaries feeling down in the dumps because I didn't like any of them.

I think Harris doesn't have what it takes, I definitely soured on her after the Kavanaugh hearings.  The Dems need the Black vote.

 

 

Harris is one giant cringe. Words fail to describe how useless she is. But you shouldn't worry about the Black vote. I believe it is acknowleged Biden has 100% of the Black vote. He even said if Black voters don't know it is correct to vote for Biden they are not real Blacks.

 

 Joe Biden "Well I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black."

From polls i saw this week it is the Latin vote Biden needs, he is not popular with people from communist and socialist nations. Funny that....

The problem is that he needs to run against Trump (who hopefully will be behind bars) to have a decent chance against the republican. I can't see him beating DeSantis at least based on the current political environment. That could change.

I doubt that he will be running against Trump somehow. But if Biden does run, he won't beat anyone.

He doesn't seem to be too popular with the Latinos now, either.

She is still officially a Democrat but I wouldn't be surprised if she jumped.

My concern, is that though Pete and Amy are good candidates, they could struggle. A brief google search shows findings that blacks and latinos are a bit less likely to be accepting of gays and that seemed to be the case in 2020 where Pete did poorly. Maybe things are changing and he’ll be better known next time. If Amy was the candidate I could see her getting the Hillary treatment. She can come across as tough in a way that will appeal to some but may turn off others. She should be made more high profile now so people can get to know her. That’s why Joe did so well. Nice guy, generic, and known to Americans. 

This cosy analysis is really quite breathtaking in its naive assumption that ANY of the people mentioned above are worthy of the trust of the American people, especially the Clinton woman, whose contempt for the American people [the undesirables] is well documented.

He doesn't seem too popular with anyone, have you seen his approval ratings? LOL

I am not American but they are both smart and good communicators and appear to have some substance. If you beg to differ that’s no problem. You might frame it though in terms of policies these two have personally espoused that you think make a case for their lack of critical thinking or trustworthiness.

I think Hillary had huge potential to be an an excellent president. I think there is an argument that a subset of Trump supporters were at that time somewhat undesirable if only in the way they played up to Trump and his approach to policy and his approach to a range of individuals including her. You may have liked all that and seen it as refreshing. I found it appalling. Didn’t help her no doubt.
She made a few errors on the way, possibly played it too safe, and due to a range of  factors you got your guy. Not sure who on the Republican side you might see as electable.

Well, yes. That was partly why I said that.

There are so many other possibilities

I never said or intimated that I was a Trumpist.  I happen to believe that it matters very little who becomes (or became) the POTUS, because that person does not actually run the show (as Eisenhower warned us in 1960, regarding the military/industrial complex).  As you can see at present, the likes of Raytheon and other armament manufacturers are profiting hugely from the weapons that the present administration are lobbing over to Ukraine at considerable cost to the American taxpayer.

I think it was good to support Ukraine,  but I agree that none of the candidates on either side are excellent in terms of shaking things up to make America less controlled by the will of corporations, except maybe Bernie. Though he can go a bit too impractical sometimes in my opinion. Need someone new.

Should Biden Run in 2024? Democratic Whispers of ‘No’ Start to Rise.

In interviews, dozens of frustrated Democratic officials, members of Congress and voters expressed doubts about the president’s ability to rescue his reeling party and take the fight to Republicans.

Biden will not run in 2024 nor will Trump. 

 

I only pray the dems run Harris with perhaps Newsom as VP. 

 

And when she wins she can bring in Willie Brown as her Chief of Staff!

He can't reverse his age.

I think the best hope for Biden IF he runs again is if his opponent is Trump.

To significant numbers of Americans another Trump term would signal the USA becoming full on fascist. So the motivating power of anyone but Trump would be strong 

Do you know what fascism means?

 

Trump is a capitalist.

He staged a coup attempt. He tried to disenfranchise 78 million voters and install himself as an authoritarian dictator.  I don't understand not understanding.

OK... This thread is NOT about Donald Trump, so it's time to bring that debate to a close here....

 

The topic of the thread is:
