Kamala is too silent for me...like she's there but she's not there!!!
I hope 2028 brings Michelle Obama to the table...now that's what I would love to be the first ever female POTUS <3 |

QUOTE(olvs @ Aug 2 2023, 09:22 AM) I like Kamala Harris, she is an American politician and current vice president of the United States.  She got 2% in the primaries and is deeply unpopular. We want leftists, not neoliberal corporate stooge puppets. |

The right attack anyone, even Biden, by sayinf these right wing neolibs are "communists". Sooo ... why not send an actual leftist, seeing as the attack line will be the same whoever you send? AoC is no Bernie - a bit of a sell-out at times to the neolib oldies - but she should be okay. |

So at a televised debate between the 8 non Trump Republican candidates the question was asked whether any of them thought that Climate change was man made (the view overwhelmingly agreed on by the scientific community). Even after the summer of climate induced natural disasters they've had, NOT ONE of them would raise their hand. We are dealing with this level of dangerous stupid and insanity.

From what I've watched, obviously Vivek Ramaswamy is the new loon for responding to 'what do you say to young Republicans who are concerned you don't care about climate change' with 'we don't, it's not real!' Probably the only big gainer in the long run because he was in the centre of the stage and came across charismatic and non-swampy - so a young Trump essentially. Haley did okay, Christie did awfully, DeSantis already had a decent set of support and was a bit anonymous but it won't eat into his poll numbers. Still Trump's to lose but he did lose support for not being there - according to FiveThirtyEight's post-debate polling on the matter.
So got a bit of name recognition for non-Trumpian candidates even if all of them apart from fringe outsider Asa Hutchinson* said they'd support Trump if chosen as the nominee even if he was convicted. All still certifiable crazies who think that talking about invading Mexico is an acceptable debate topic. *seemingly the only representative of old-school conservative Republicans left and he still sounded like a cutprice Mike Pence fundamentalist crackpot on other issues. |

Christie also said he wouldn't support Trump if he's convicted (a bit of an about turn from him being literally the first 2016 also-ran to endorse him but hey ho). He had the audacity to say something halfway rational during that debate and naturally got booed for it. He seems like probably the least worst option out of the clown circus (maybe joint with Nikki Haley for being seemingly the only person there who doesn't want to give half of Ukraine to Russia, and idk about Hutchinson and Burgum because literally who cares, none of the coverage I've looked up said anything about either of them) but the whole debate seems pretty pointless when it looks like Trump has the nomination all but wrapped up already.
Ramaswamy rising from complete obscurity to being one of the more talked about names seemed a bit out of the blue but I now see why - it's because he's the biggest and most blatant absolute nutcase. He floated the idea of raising the voting age to 25 unless voters pass a 'civics test'. Lol. |

the fact that we're still arguing about the existence of climate change despite the waters being warmer than ever, Alaska's glacial meltdown, the Lahaina fires, and California being hit by a tropical storm for the first time in decades... humans are a lost species

Eminem is turning out to be such a hero for me
https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/us-celebrity-n...-stops-30806999 Vivek Ramaswamy is like a younger Suella Braverman of US politics and rapidly gaining popularity in the nominations for Republicans (and is being feted by Trump - possible VP?) |
