It would be funny (in a "fuck you" sorta way) if she did decide to run and ended up winning. Why you ask? Because it would be a fuck you to all the "MiChElLe ObAmA iS a TrAnS" bigiots out there (bigots/idiots) and also how so many of the right wants the country controlled by the trump family, only to see the Obama family get it again (which they would HATE with the intensity of a billion suns). the downside is, there would be backlack towards people who are actually trans (or anyone in the LGBTQ+ family) because of how those neanderthals are afraid of their own sexuality.
Oh it would be a meltdown of epic proportions that might give January 6th a run for its money. Not only a woman, but a black one at that and an Obama! The MAGA ‘movement’ began because white trash America’s ever loving hate of a black president.
That's the way I see it happening. Open convention where several will vie for the nomination. And if for some reason they bypass Harris and it's another male of whatever ethnicity, I hope it doesn't turn into a race deal. It's the people of the party and delegates that will select who's most competent and competitive. Personally, I thought Bernie was screwed twice by and now here we are. Karma?
Obviously your daughter died and was replaced by zombie. Or body snatcher. Sorry, shouldn't even make bad joke about someone's child.
In response to suit brought by Republican attorneys general, courts blocked more of President Biden's student loan forgiveness. Missouri attorney general crowed victory for those who think people should pay their way. Translation, if you aren't rich, don't expect to go to college.
Basically, what's been coming out today is former Republican Steve Schmidt, of Lincoln Project fame and the guy who convinced the McCain campaign to go with Sarah Palin as VP, has been covertly working against Biden for months. First, he helped launch Dean Phillips' campaign, but being involved in that would have kept him from working with his "Pass The Torch" superPAC. Pass the Torch is very powerful financially. It's being reported that Schmidt has threatened to withhold funding from at-risk Congressional Dems if they don't come out against Biden staying in the race.
So when we say both sides are controlled by the same people... It kind of means what you think it means.
Yep. Although, this wasn't exactly the way I saw it on my bingo card. And I'm not endorsing this idea yet. I am keeping an eye on it. Since Citizens United, there is too much money in political campaigning and the struggles of mass media have left it susceptible to big money, so I've been worried someone would put these things together and basically play kingmaker. It's POSSIBLE. I'm hoping one of the few creditable media sources in the world will dive into this. At the moment, it's a little more than a plausible conspiracy theory. I'd like to see more of a tangible paper trail, maybe a few of these at-risk Dem candidates confirm Schmidt blackmailed them, before I really buy into it.
Another thing that would give credence to this is if Kamala Harris is passed over in the event Biden withdraws. Supposedly this group doesn't want her, either, but I think most casual observers would expect her to be the candidate if it isn't Biden.
