    The Dems are one of the funniest political parties of all time. They perfectly triangulate to a population that has not and will not ever exist, and then wonder why nobody votes for them

        Their goal is to be a giant group of individuals who are all trying to get power because they want power. That’s it. That’s the entire democrat establishment and every member of it. They don’t want to DO anything with that power they just want to have it. All the way from president down to the newest staffer with the smallest amount responsibility, they’re all in it for the power. They all agree to use each other to get themselves power and to help each other get power if they think it will help them get power too.

        The only real difference between them and the Republicans is that the Republicans actually want to do something with the power. Otherwise they’re virtually indistinguishable

    When will she be done? When she loses the democratic primary? Lmfao

    The only reason she was the candidate in the first place was because the Dems skipped the primary.

      She is now seen as anointed by the Dem party, so in my view she is instantly one of the top contenders to win the primary. This is how cucked the Dem primary electorate is. Policies, morals, electability and effectiveness don’t matter. What matters is who the Dem elites and the liberal media pick. In 2020, Biden won an easy majority of the Dem voters who support Medicare For All! And it is not like liberals already have good morals and policies, but it looks like what they believe doesn’t even matter.

      They’re not going to do primaries. They will claim the election is too important and there isn’t enough time. And she’ll never be done because being a perpetual candidate is a career now.

    Hillary Clinton 2.0. Undesirable candidate supported by a party that’ll backstab candidates more desirable to those that’ll vote Democrat.

    Find out what Lee Carter who ran for governor of Virginia a few years ago - I’d camp out the night before at the polling station to vote for that guy.

      I hated Hillary (i still do) because it’s just a non stop deluge of “she can’t keep getting away with this” and then she does, but like fuck, at least she was kind of competent? This isn’t an endorsement of Hillary since that competency is used for evil but like I mean Kamala just seems like a worse Hillary in every way. Somehow more stupid, somehow less charismatic, etc. It’s wild that this is the best the neoliberal Democrats can do

      It’s like Hillary was raised in a vat designed to be a shithead politician but Kamala just like grew up watching that on TV and went “i could do that!”

    contextphobic “It’s not fair! Everyone is judging my past performances when I was tethered to Joe Biden’s terrible policies. If I run again I can play to my core competency and run as hard right as I want to!”

    I am sorry, but she just isn’t old and decrepit enough to win an election. Apart form all her other problems.

    lathe-of-heaven

    Here is the outline of a novel I was thinking about publishing in the next 6 months:

    Trump successfully makes the case that he can run for a third term.

    Kamala gets no more than 1.6% of the vote in any Democratic primary.

    The Dems nominate Obama and make Kamala his vice presidential candidate (because of course they would).

    Obama easily defeats Trump.

    The CIA abandons a plot in the DFW area, but ultimately succeeds in assassinating Obama in Chicago using the same scripts from 1963 and officially anointing Obama as the new JFK.

    Kamala is made and we all eat crow.

      Trump successfully makes the case that he can run for a third term.

      I expect this actually. Run Trump as Vice President to a sycophant President, and said sycophant either resigns or simply does what Trump wants. It technically doesn’t violate the 22nd amendment, and with SCOTUS they can declare it constitutional if push comes to shove like in 2000.

        Run Trump as Vice President to

        Kamala; She goes on to supposedly clean up his character and libs eat up the reformation angle, and Republicans will be grudgingly sated as they still see a reactionary influence on the office (entirely ignoring that Kamala had been working to get their approval this entire time); libs will now be content with this new whitewashed doofus
