    Totally, man.

    They should stick with centrism, like they did in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Absolutely a winning strategy. And, if they hadn’t rigged their primaries, we’d have just had a President Sanders for eight years.

    It took a once-in-a-century pandemic to barely eek out a win against Trump.

    Reactionary centrists are the dumbest motherfuckers in the country. Now I know how Walter Sobchak feels: “Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it’s an ethos.”

    The Democratic Party would be foolish to nominate AOC to be their presidential candidate.

      You’re right to be terrified of her. She’s intelligent, motivated, and popular. All things the right hates in a woman.

        She is pretty and articulate, but her views will not appeal to most Americans. If she is the Democratic nominee for President, she would go up against J.D. Vance. Compare the two apart from their views and ask who would make a better impression. He is a White man. She is a Puerto Rican woman. He is married with children. She is married without children. He was in the US Marines. She was never in the military. He is 6’2". She is 5’4". Height will make a difference during a debate. Note that fashion models are tall.

            Those are some of the criteria. Military service indicates patriotism and courage. Having children indicates a family man. Some people will view a White man more favorably.

      agreed; she’s going to suck away all of the left of center voters and deliver them to the center-right party; aka the democrats.
