I really wish there was a maximum age to the presidency as well as a minimum age. Yes, it would eliminate a lot of people all over the spectrum from the race but I would rather trust someone that was going to personally feel the long term effects of policies.
I like her qualifications when I read them, but she hasn't really impressed me otherwise. When that animal-activist-asshole took over her stage, she was calm (which is good enough), but Karine Jean-Pierre immediately stood up and put that guy in his place. My thought was "Now THAT is the woman I want to run for president."
Jeb! was the chosen one, too, at the start of the 2016 campaign, and see how well that went for him. Biden is at the top of the polls now because of name recognition and association with the Obama Administration. That gives him a leg up -- and more power to him for having that -- but he can't coast on those stats because they're going to evaporate over time. He has to build on that advantage with hard work, a solid ground game and by avoiding gaffes.I feel most of the top dems (Warren, Sanders, Buttigieg, and sev others) could all win against Trump if given support. Unfortunately it seems the only message being sent out to those that dont really follow this stuff (like in many areas we are not the norm once again) is that Biden is the chosen one.
Although it may or may not be an independent.
To me it’s way too early to decide anything. I have donated to several candidates I would be esp pleased to see win, but I won’t pick someone to vote for until polls give a clear front runner vs Trump. Because when Godzilla comes through trampling cities and flinging buses, stopping him is job one.
What I have planned to do is work for the local Democratic Party like I did in 2018, help get out the vote, and support local candidates. Georgia came within 1.4% of electing a Democratic governor last time. We will have a couple of more years of demographic shift behind us, so flipping the state is within reach if people come out to vote.
Wall Street is certainly taking Warren's candidacy seriously.
When you look at the nonvoters you have to look at adults under 40, the very poor, and groups locked out of the two main parties.
Voting for someone who hasn't got a snowball's chance of winning is also a vote for Trump, practically speaking.
The problem is, in quite a few states, to vote in the primaries requires registering as one of the two main parties. And sometimes, even registering for the prevalent party, because otherwise you don't get a voice in your primaries at all, because there is no other choice. That said, I'm a DINO, because I'm a registered dem, but I'm far too left/progressive to really be one.
Support him, anyway. Make them have to ratfuck him so hard that people notice. It's people who still trust the media and the political process that are preventing us from having nice things. If their fiction gets untenable enough, people will wake up. Make them have to pull out all the stops on the ratfucking.
Guys of the age of Biden, Trump, Sanders e.o. should be running for president of the activity committee of the gated community for elderly where they live and worry about if it is whise to have a Friday afternoon bingo when it it over 98F outside.
Ok, I will bite. I can vote for ANYONE at all and my vote will be worth 0 because the electoral college vote here is basically preordained.
No, it's the people who own the media and who own the political parties that are preventing us from having nice things.

Look who just lost the furry vote.
