Voting for Biden cause he's least worst fucking sucks. Dems need to do better, and Trump is what happens because they won't.
Dems need to stop shoving candidates down peoples throats -- this is how a lot of people felt with Hillary.
If Biden wins the general, serves at least 2 years, and resigns for health reasons, Kamala will be an encombant in 2028 and 2032. It could well be 2036 before we get another primary.
I really don't see Harris winning in 2028 even as an incumbent, I doubt Trump will be running then if he loses this election so the "vote for anyone but trump" gang won't be there to support the Dems against .
Which party gets the presidency is going to depend less and less on the candidates in coming elections. Demographic shifts are going to push the popular vote further to the Democrats, so what really matters will be the state of Republican voters suppression.
I understand, but it is reality.
Israel needs to do better. Biden or Trump not being president won’t stop the violence in Gaza, Netanyahu not being Prime Minister will.
So things like donnie are the fault of the Democratic Party?
When you campaign on hope and change only to deliver more of the same and champion the status quo you pave the way for shitheels like trump.
Democrats have very worked hard to maintain the oligarchic status quo furthering the corruption and rot that have led to the current populist/fascist movements.
Donnie doesn't exist if the dems hadn't failed in the first place.
I think Cornel West is least worst
