She needs to go with Biden
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.
I am voting party not person this election.
Get the fuck on board. We gonna out party that cult.
⁷A “thought-terminating” cliché based in sound logic. We could all hope more logical dilemmas that were just as solvable.
On further study, It’s more than a cliché if one at all. -In fact I’d argue the common label “A distinction without a difference”. Is a particular logical fallacy no better than if TheReturnOfPEB had used a strawman, non sequitur, an Appeal to Fear, etc… to make a logical statement. To wit they are not acting logically.
She would do just fine, but she’ll never be elected. HRC had a better chance and failed…
Hilary was subject to one of the longest running smear campaigns I can remember. The right started pounding her years before she ever got near the Oval Office.
Hell, it’s actually still ongoing, and she’s retired.
edit: You may have noticed them pursuing a similar strategy with AOC too. They like to go after potential future dem leadership very early.
Hilary was subject to one of the longest running smear campaigns I can remember. The right started pounding her years before she ever got near the Oval Office.
Add to that, she earned the resentment of Obama supporters in 2008 and Sanders supporters in 2016. And I bet Harris would bother to campaign in swing states.
AND she still probably would have won if Comey didn’t drop another “but her emails” bombshell immediately before the election. It was completely inappropriate and allowed Trump to just barely squeak into office. One that had no legal teeth, and resulted in no legal issues after the election.
And she still won millions more votes, just in the wrong places.
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.
