That wasn't the joke I was making though. My joke was that Trump was considering making a serial rapists his VP pick. I don't disagree with the point you're making I'm just confused as to why you think it's relevant.

Exactly, she can't really take a bold stance while holding a position cus her stance is toothless. It would be easy fodder to just say "than why aren't you doing something?" When she actually can't do anything. Even if/when she has executive authority over it, it's potentially counter-productive for potential peace talks. If you're able to present a plan where both parties feel like they have a victory, it's a harder sell if you've already "picked a favorite" before talks happened.

I think it's the difference between politics and governing. Being the adult in the room is important and I think the posture Kamala is taking makes me optimistic that she has the appropriate priorities. Which will evolve into political wins, when contrasted with Trump. I hope these winks to the left are done in good faith though and not a hollow effort to galvanize the base.

The guy who played Hyde is a serial rapist. He was in the running for Trumps VP.

1000% agree. I'm not stoked about, most likely, not voting in a dem primary for 8 years. Harris wouldn't be my first choice but I don't wanna deflate the hype train at all. Hoping for a super majority in congress, that would be the big win. Really hope true progressives can accomplish as much as possible with that. Last time it happened for dems we got the ACA, that should be the minimum benchmark.

HARRIS/ANONYMOUS GENERIC WHITE GUY 2024!

It's odd to see you put so much of Palestine on Bidens lap. It's been an issue for at least 40-50 years.

I remember what Obama said in his memoir about Isreal, how that is such a tricky issue for Dems. Isreal is the only consistent military ally in the region. A President has an obligation, as commander and chief of the military. You have into major consideration in the area of the region that's is most likely to commit act of foreign terrorism against the US.

100% agree with this sentiment. 1 day debate, 2nd or third day, delegate vote. Imagine a national conversation where the cornerstone is about the policies of the democratic platform. Compare them to the policies of the GOP. That will be a huge W for the party, especially down ticket.

Agreed. I'd be in favor of the mods not allowing it.

I hate to admit this but, as a CA resident, I think I might be OK with leaving the union. Let Mississippi fix its own damn roads.

Bro lol this is the comment section for AOC calling out other dems for "resigning to fascism". She literally did that.

(Not the same person you were in that convo with btw) I've always felt that Biden was going to rely on grassroots pro choice groups to really kick up the voter engagement. That's where the Taylor Swift factor will come in.
