Election 2024: The Fate of Democracy

303abuser Harris wouldn’t go quietly. Could get very messy

Dubman

Don’t they have to run with Harris on the ticket as the money that’s been raised is for Biden/Harris.

303abuser

I read something like that, but I’ve also read that it doesn’t ultimately matter, so I’m not sure. Either way, Harris is just as unelectable as Biden, something needs to be done.

Dubman

Big Joe has withdrawn from the election race

Good, there’s now an actual chance of beating trump as long as they don’t fuck it up by running Harris. Newsom is everything that pisses trump off and will send his insecurity off the rails. He’s younger, better looking, more accomplished, and will eviscerate trump in a debate. The ability to go toe to toe in real time, calling him out on his lies could win over the undecided voters and “moderates” who couldn’t stomach voting for an 81 year old with dementia.

Harris is going to run.

Dubman

What about Pete Buttigieg

303abuser

Not this time, running a gay man against trump is a massive gamble and not worth it. Same thing with the Michelle Obama rumors, maybe in the future, but now isn’t the time.

Dubman

303abuser
Didn’t know that. Could see it being a problem with the religious fanatics.

303abuser

Exactly. America is still mostly backwards.

Michael Obama ftw!

303abuser

Smallman1 Probably and it’s a huge mistake. The democrats don’t care about winning elections and that would pretty much confirm it. She’s got a better chance than Biden did, but it’s marginal at best.

Homegrove

Yes it’s definitely going to be her.

Smallman1

Would be a momentous moment for a woman of colour to be POTUS.

I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

303abuser

It absolutely would, but I’m not sure middle America is quite there yet. Her only shot would be to absolutely hammer the roe v wade decision and hope it’s enough of a wedge issue. I still think she’s unelectable though.

303abuser I dunno fuck all about her, never seen her speak at any length, but shirley she does a truck load better in any debates? And they can now flip the table and hammer mango Mussolini on the age issue, no? Or is she just a complete blert?

303abuser

She’ll be better in debates for sure, but she’s not well liked as far as I can see. She didn’t even make it to the 2020 primaries because she was polling so low and her polling has plummeted along with Biden over the last 4 years. She needs to win over “moderates” and a good portion are still sexist and racist. She’s got an uphill battle and an open competition to find the best candidate instead of the next on the succession list seems like a much better idea.

Amps

303abuser Gotcha. Is Newsom even a possibility? Or is this all sewn up already?

Homegrove

Amps he’s endorsed Harris already, so has pretty much any competition she had. She’s 100 % sure the nominee.

Along_the_Wire

Amps I’ve read a few polls and Harris still does better than everyone else.

303abuser

Amps I’m assuming it’s a done deal, but who knows for sure.

Smallman1

There is only person who could go toe to toe with the Don and really rile him and that’s me.

No way he could handle my bants.

The words “You’re” and “Fired” come to mind
