Problem is anyone with any capacity to hear this has been listening since 2016, and everyone else is… well deaf doesn’t really cover it. Is there a condition where your ears grow inside out and become megaphones that blare circus music?
They are listening; that’s the problem. I’ve disconnected from almost my entire family because Trump has reached Dear Leader status with them, and you can’t have a normal conversation anymore without insane levels of hate and nonsense being injected into the conversation.
The people at this level aren’t living in reality. They like what they hear.
Sad, I had a list of candidates I wanted to see on both sides. Which probably wouldn’t have mattered as I would have been leaning towards Tulsi likely most of the time compared to others in my list
I think Trump is in no matter what for the repubs. But the democrats man, like come on. They’re treating this as if Biden already won the primaries. He isn’t popular at all in the Democrat base. Give me someone to root for.
He’s the corporate dem tho so we won’t see media following anyone else.
I doubt any contender will remain into an actual vote. There’s no point, unless they’re just grifting for the money, in which case it ends after the first primary round (same difference) when they have no path to victory.
There will certainly be no debates or real campaigning. Both “challengers” are well-known grifters.
That statement posits an entirely different scenario, where the Democratic primary is held as normal, with a prediction about its process and outcome (a prediction I mostly agree with).
I stand by my earlier statement. There will be a Democratic primary vote in every state. There will be challengers on those primary ballots, even if they are minor players or only locally known. The optics of not having one, even if the results of the national Democratic primary are obvious, would be ridiculously bad, and the Republicans and their candidate would latch on to that and call it "fascism."
If you mean that the candidate will be decided by the math by that time, I think I would agree. If you're saying they'll just not have primary votes in the remaining states, I disagree.
Biden’s approval rating with democrats is about the same as Obama’s was in 2011. All holding a primary would do is weaken their position in the general election. I can’t tell if this is a deliberate propaganda campaign or people are actually this clueless and think incumbent presidents regularly compete in primaries.
I think both he and Manchin are running/considering running because they expect that Biden might die of old age before the primaries and they think they’ll have an easier time in a primary against Harris. Or after some or all of the primaries and they think they might stand a chance in a chaotic environment.
I mean, isn’t RFK Jr. getting a ton of money from Republicans, as well as support from folks like Steve Bannon and Roger Stone, and favorable right wing news coverage? Guy was also once celebrated as a champion of the environment?
Can’t say I’m terribly impressed, even before his ethnically targeted Covid conspiracy. Though I do laugh at the fact that he’s out fundraised all but Desantis and Trump on the Republican side, with only 20% of his donors identifying as Democratic donors. It’s such a hilariously bad attempt at a spoiler candidate, that the amount of faith I would lose in humanity if it worked would be on par with Trump winning.
