Honestly. I don’t give a fuck at this point. Just give me a D who can get to 270. Fuck the republican traitor filth.
They Harris Trump wins she is a fucking horrible choice. Yall forget how many independents are sitting on the fence. Which means a lot of them still can’t choose (which should say a lot) No way she can beat Trump.
I still can’t fathom how the fuck anyone is an independent anymore. Too lazy to vote, yes. Have no idea who your party’s candidate is? Sure. Don’t know which party to vote for? No way in hell.
Looking at voting data, almost no one is really independent. The vast majority of people who register independent almost always vote down party lines for one party, and they just don’t want to label themselves democrat or republican.
In the thumbnail… is she wearing a tan suit?
Oh yes.
This would be awesome.
Would be cool, but 1) doubt they would do a ticket with two women, unfortunately. This is already a massive gambit, they will need to do everything they can to keep/get more votes, and imo, that means a man (preferably with name recognition) for VP pick.
And, 2) VP is a toothless, essentially useless position. I think it would be a mistake to take AOC away from her home district for 4 to 8 years just for her to do nothing meaningful. We need her in our legislative branch right now.
AOC’s district is dark blue. It won’t effect the votes much. It would raise AOCs profile if she has ambitions for POTUS but that’s so many hypotheticals.
The most immediate impact is that it would motivate the base. Dems need voter turnout to win. 2 women lashing the Republicans over abortion rights is a winner imo on top of AOCs popularity with the base. There are sound reasons for it. Not saying I think it’s a good idea though.
Trump is elected: we descend into a fascist hellhole. A woman of color is elected, they probably start a civil war. We are fucked.
You sure about that when a metric shitton of cops and military support Trump?
Is it sad that to be a “good” president, all one has to do is beat trump at the polls (ok the electoral college), and then do nothing else?
A great president would beat trump then roll back the immunity ruling (somehow ;) ) codify roe v Wade, and resign.
Why would they resign and present an undue opportunity for the far right to come to power again?
Would make the vice the president, who then could/would pardon the resignee, making anything the resignee did an official act, and if not then the pardon is the official act.
Can these fucking articles actually link to the data? I appreciate including the sampling information but right now I really want to see the actual questions being asked because push-polling absolutely has been used by some of the other outlets.
Okay I found the poll and it’s fucking awful…
https://apnorc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/July-2024-W1-topline.pdf
For Approve, Disapprove, Undecided, Null they have:
Harris: 30, 49, 20, 1
Newsom: 17, 31, 51, 1
Whitmer: 15, 21, 64, 1
Harris clearly has the best name recognition but 49% disapproval is insanely high. And they didn’t include any other potential candidates like AOC, Warren, or Whitehouse.
A new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about 6 in 10 Democrats believe Kamala Harris would do a good job in the top slot. About 2 in 10 Democrats don’t believe she would, and another 2 in 10 say they don’t know enough to say.
The undecided can be convinced during the campaign.
But I doubt I’ll start thinking Kamala would be a good president…
I do think that she’ll be able to beat Trump in the election at least. Which is better than Joe.
What has she done to make you feel she is a psychopath?
psychopath
/sī′kə-păth″/
noun
- A person who engages repeatedly in criminal and antisocial behavior without remorse or empathy for those victimized.
- A person with a personality disorder indicated by a pattern of lying, cunning, manipulating, glibness, exploiting, heedlessness, arrogance, delusions of grandeur, sexual promiscuity, low self-control, disregard for morality, lack of acceptance of responsibility, callousness, and lack of empathy and remorse. Such an individual may be especially prone to violent and criminal offenses.
- A person diagnosed with antisocial or dissocial personality disorder.
I don’t know the thoughts of the other user and idk if this makes her a psychopath, but she did oversee an effort to deny prisoners parole just to keep them in California’s prisoner firefighter program to combat wildfires.
The program itself is fairly repugnant to begin with, as the prisoners don’t really have a choice in the matter, it’s tantamount to slavery, and her trying to keep people locked up to bolster it is vile. While California needed more firefighters to combat their wild fire issues, I don’t think slavery is the right solution.
Does that make her a psychopath? I’m not sure. Our definition of anti-social behavior is fairly restricted to what is legal and what isn’t and what she did was legal. But it damn sure is without empathy or remorse and, in a just world, promoting slavery would be considered antisocial behavior, in my humble opinion.
I want to point out that psychopathy is a colloquial term, not a clinical one. The most popular set of criteria, the Psychopathy Checklist - Revised, is not empirically reliable or valid. Its creator Robert Hare has made a lucrative career out of convincing the world (and the prison system) that psychopaths are Definitely Real. The PCL-R is used to justify harsher punishments and longer prison sentences, and it’s completely made up.
The undecided can be convinced during the campaign.
What campaign? The election is in 3.5 months. Every day that Biden doesn’t step down is one less day for Harris to start ramping up her campaign efforts.
Also, please someone do a poll of the undecided who have strong feelings towards…
- women
- minorities
- prosecutors
Although most may fall firmly in the Trump camp, I’m betting there are some undecided who think that women absolutely should not be president.
Not to mention waffling Republicans may be more incentivized to vote if the Democrat isn’t an old white dude.
