this is essential viewing for anyone wishing to understand Trump.
Seems..... right?and...it's Biden/Harris.
that ship sailed when Biden locked up the nomination, his VP pick wasn't going to magically change thatit's frustrating the choice is between Trump or the status quo which led to Trump
as I have long said, they always find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory if at all possibleThe dems running a ticket with an actual fucking cop on it right now couldn't be more on brand
its slightly different in that there is an emerging faction of perhaps a tad less ghoulish politicians in the democratic party that could theoretically take these spots, which makes it all the more frustratingthat ship sailed when Biden locked up the nomination, his VP pick wasn't going to magically change that
I'm no Harris fan but unless the President dies the VP is way less important than key Cabinet positions, which party controls the Senate, etc
she's the safest realistic choice, will excite no one but also won't make anyone stay home despite her noted issues
and making safe, boring choices is extremely on-brand for Biden
[shrugs] most presidential elections are a frustrating lesser of two evils choice between two status quo candidates anyway
in that sense this isn't too different
oh shit for real? I hadn't noticed. it's right there in the comment buddy - that ship sailed the day Biden sewed the nomination.an emerging faction of perhaps a tad less ghoulish politicians
Easy partner. I wasn't saying you were wrong. I was just speaking to the feeling- why one might again feel prompted to lament the choice between two evils even though that is and always will be the caseoh shit for real? I hadn't noticed. it's right there in the comment buddy - that ship sailed the day Biden sewed the nomination.
what was he, going to ask AOC? of course not.
the only realistic choice there was Warren, and then you have two old white people from the coastal NE, which sounds like guaranteed failure.
it's an unexciting choice. Biden is an unexciting candidate. the Democrats are by and large a thoroughly unexciting party.
expecting to be anything but frustrated by electoral politics at the national level is a fool's errand.
