Democrats have a death wish

[ModdaPunk]

How dumb can they be ?

 

• Kamala Harris is the top choice of Democrat voters to be the party’s nominee for the 2028 presidential election, with 41 per cent support in a recent poll.
   
• Other top contenders for the Democratic nomination in 2028 include Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Pete Buttigieg, who received 8, 7, and 6 per cent support respectively.
   
• Despite her loss in the 2024 election, some in the Democratic party believe Kamala Harris would be well-positioned to run again in 2028 due to her wide base of donors and support among congressional Democrats.

I have to agree that does sound dumb.

Generally, democrats do NOT run losing presidential candidates.

One and you're done. 

I suspect that poll just reflects name recognition at this point. 

Sadly, I also think the democrats will shy away from nominating any woman again, as twice burned.

The more important question is assuming hopefully that we have real elections for the midterms, whether 2028 will be a real election or will the Trump dictatorship machine have turned US elections into just for show like in Hungary and Russia. There is zero doubt that the US democracy has rapidly degraded but will that process be near complete or not by 2028?

2020 was a show election

It was that BIG LIE that has accelerated the rapid decline of US democracy. And the man behind that BIG LIE is Donald Trump, felon, and president elect. The founders surely couldn't have imagined a scenario as dark.

You were doing so well, The 1St part of you comment was quite honest and genuine, I had high hopes,  unfortunately you lost it at the last hurdle and descended into the usual  hysterical claptrap.

You're absolutely right, my dear Jingthing.

Maybe the country will become some sort of oligarchic theocracy...(?)

Would be scary but also kind of mesmerizing to watch.

Let’s hope so!

More likely to find her on the dinner theater circuit.

Did you know as a teenager in Montreal she was a theater kid?

I'm saddened by it but I guess we get the government we deserve.

That is so true!

 

Imagine winning an election with both the electoral vote AND the popular vote!

 

Totalitarianism, that's what it is.

Evil, dystopian, fascisticism!

 

Getting more votes is obviously the work of Satan.

Autocratic regimes sometimes come into power via elections. Such Orban, Putin, and Hitler.

So the candidate of the party that loses the election with less'n 50% of the vote, is now only wanted by 'bout 40% of their own voters?

 

That translates to a measly 20% of the electorate!

 

There ya go, ironclad proof that Trump lies.

 

Didn't he say "there'll be so much winning, that we'll get tired of all the winning"?  Well, I'm not tired yet.

Everyone knows Jon Stewart will be a 2028 nominee
