    I love how everybody is assuming that there will be a “next election”. I’m not sure that’s guaranteed. Except, maybe, in the way that Russia still has elections.

    I mean, I know you can be too alarmist about things, but there’s a very clear and obvious direction of travel in the US right now.

      I don’t disagree with you, but I feel like people jump to that scenario without describing the steps to get there. How do you see unfolding? How do different opposition groups respond such as the DNC? What about blue states? How does the administration handle it without losing popular consensus? Does it even matter? If they use the military, how do they get the military stay the path when the populous begins to reject their intervention?

    The comments here have killed my hope for ever seeing the GOP pushed back under the rock from whence they came.

        I agree the Democrats are useless, but the only time in modern history a third party has gotten any measurable percentage of the popular vote is when Ross Perot ran as an independent and got 19%.

    Kamala, with all due respect, please get mental health treatment for your apparent psychopathy.

    who is in her circle telling her that this is a good idea? Does she not have any close friends who can speak plainly to her?

    You would think having lost to an actual piece of shit would be enough of a reality check. Just stop… ffs. The best thing Kamala can do is fade into obscurity like Al Gore.

      The won’t get the nomination. At most just maybe make some noise during the convention. Pretty sure the DNC has already decided to force Newsome through.

    Fuck it, let her. She had to drop out of the 2020 primary before voting started because she was on track to lose every single state, and she clearly hasn’t become more electable since then. All she could possibly do is siphon some votes and donor money off Newsom or Buttigieg. If that’s what she wants to do, I fully support that.
