I still wish I could have seen Elizabeth Warren running for president with Bernie Sanders as vice president.
THAT woulda shook some real shit up.
I’m happy a woman and a minority was nominated, but I feel like it may have been tokenism at some point, and I really hate to think that.
I’m tired of old white people especially old white men running this country, even in Bernie’s case- but I don’t care what the face of it is I just want to see serious shocking fucking change to this country the opposite way right now and that become normalized.
What we have fallen to in the last 4 years isn’t even part of a spectrum it’s just shear hate and stupidity.
By the time we get to the second week of the Biden Administration you’ll be hearing this: “Do you want to get universal healthcare or prosecute Donald Trump?” And they’ll repeat it over and over again, as if public integrity were a trade-off with political effectiveness.
Eh, I don’t think Trump will just magically disappear after January 2021. And, if how the US normally prosecutes rich white men is any indication, I have little faith that we’ll see him face justice. So, I’m not as confident about it as you are.
Fuck yes, they are! I love Warren and Sanders but I know damn well either of them would turn off a lot of my moderate or conservative fellow Americans who hate Trump.
I want them to feel ok about voting Dem, especially if it’s their first time not voting GOP.
No need for Washington Democrats to get involved, they just need to let New York prosecute him - it sounds like the legal processes there are well under way.
I understand the sentiment of your post, but I disagree. I don’t think the racists and sexists who were considering Biden were waiting to decide until he announced his running mate. Biden has made it very clear for months that he was going to choose a woman, and it’s been well known that his top choices were mostly women of color.
I just don’t think there were that many dudes thinking “I’ll only vote Biden if Gretchen Whitmer is his running mate”—not enough to make a difference strategically for the Biden campaign at least.
That’s why I kicked Amy McGrath’s campaign some money. She’s not my favorite Senate candidate but getting McConnell out of office would be a tremendous win even if his replacement is a centrist by Kentuckian standards.
Hey, she’s already getting words of support from Lindsay Graham! I would have thought he’d say something meant to undercut her agenda but somehow he managed to make both her and the Democratic party sound more appealing.
It has been said that the veep is just the president’s attack dog. Harris has shown a gift in that area. Pence will shit his pants and leave the stage weeping. And she could go on to herd Congress through Dem priorities, as well. Looking forward to it.
Well, good advice for Harris to follow. Not necessarily good advice for Palin to follow:
don’t get muzzled - connect with media and voters in your own unique way. Some yahoos running campaigns will suffocate you with their own self-centered agenda so remember YOU were chosen for who YOU are. So stay connected with America as you smile and ignore deceptive “handlers” trying to change you;
It was largely Palin’s refusal to be muzzled that tipped the election away from McCain. Suddenly the public’s perception of him went from a reasonable, centrist, experienced elder statesman to a free-wheeling weirdo with terrible judgement.
