Any kind of primary still basically leaves a lot of overseas voters without representation since the time to (a) find out about it (b) get the material to the voters © have the voters be able to print, fill, and sign the forms, and (d) have them be postmarked in time is not going to happen.

Launch a mini primary. No one would win against Trump this late in the race now that they betrayed Biden but anyone else would be better than Harris. At least most other candidates would not have founded their entire career on keeping innocent people in prison

I’m not personally enthused about the idea of having a former cop for a president, it certainly seems like a good way to snag the votes of disgruntled Republicans.

Trump didn’t win, Hillary lost. Just like Kamala will lose. She’s unelectable. We have two choices, Trump or Bernie. Putting in anyone but Bernie is choosing Trump.

You are so out of touch. While I think Bernie would have done a great job, there’s NO way he would be the candidate. Get out of the micro bubble that is Lemmy and see what the rest of the country supports. Unfortunately Bernie is too far left for most people, which is unfortunate.

Boo, Kamala is less electable than Hillary and we saw how that went. Trump didn’t even win an election, Hillary just lost one. We’d see the same thing happen again.
