    Good god! NO! Have they learned nothing from 2016???

    There’s a woman running for president, that seems to be the democrats only option (only because nobody is giving Bernie Sanders the time of day…for some reason…), and an entire nation, both on the left AND on the right, who are saying “Ew, no, we don’t want her…”. Opposing her is trump, which one side of the election actively DO want to be president. So they’ll have no troube with their voting decision.

    And then there’s the undecided voter. They don’t like either option, but they see that even the left isn’t happy with their choice, but the right IS happy with their choice…so from that logic, it sounds like they should vote republican, because they don’t like either option, but at least SOME people DO like this option. And that’s how trump becomes president.

    The only question is, did I just describe 2016, or 2024?

      It’s such a low bar for the DNC to just put forth a viable candidate, and all they’ve come up with is a controversial president’s wife who doesnt know when to shut up and not tank her own (and others) campaign, a genocidal geriatric strike-breaker, and now, after nearly two decades of blatant, recorded police abuse and widespread protests against police… President “female bad-cop”.

        Which is insane…because if Michelle Obama even HINTED at running, it would re-energize the entire democratic party.

        I mean I guess the same could also be said about Taylor Swift, but personally I would want her to do some lower positions. We’ve all seen how terrible a president with no experience can go.

          Third party, until the “first past the post” system is treated like a Russian who pissed off Putin (defenestration/thrown out the window) and replaced with ranked choice voting, isnt a viable option either at this time.

      This is a weird take. As an independent I’d much prefer Harris to Biden. I don’t really have anything against her.

      But yeah, I’d much, much, MUCH rather have Bernie.
