Thinking there is going to be a real election in 2028 is the most optimistic thing I've heard in a while.
There's going to be an election, or we're going to learn the meaning of "All enemies, foreign and domestic".
More like a Russian/Chinese election.
Bulgarian.
The Harris campaign had to cover the governor’s tracks when he tripped up during a California fundraiser by stating that the constitutionally-mandated system used to select the president, otherwise known as the electoral college, “needs to go”.
How the hell is that a gaffe? It's both the truth and exactly what people want to hear. Any lib who thinks like that needs to kindly keep their mouths shut for the next four years. This country needs radical change, the only choice you get is which one you want.
The pearl-clutching Tone Police in the Democratic Party are nothing if not exhausting, that's for sure.
The Republicans can and do say just about whatever the fuck they want, and that's sanewashed, and overlooked, and brushed under the rug, sometimes even celebrated, but the tone police in the "liberal media" and the left, and the Democratic Party itself will be there, wagging-finger at the ready, if some Democrat misses a semicolon .
Here, let me grab a sharpie and fix that.
The Harris campaign made a cowardly attempt to walk back the governor's statements when he said during a California fundraiser that the broken election systems used for gerrymandering and enabling the double elections of Donald Trump, "needs to go".
and exactly what people want to hear
It's what people who care about democracy want to hear. That certainly isn't everyone.
Idk who needs to hear this, but Tim Walz is pretty moderate and centrist. You're not going to unite the splintered left with Tim Walz.
The biggest barrier Democrats have is that left leaning voters are not going out and voting for them.
I really do think Tim Walz has a real chance. A very likeable guy.
Doesn't hurt that he's white and male, too.
