  1. I disagree there. The "keys to the white house" guy favored Kamala Harris. This was a fumble.
  2. I think he would have won more swing states if he was #1 AND if he kicked Biden's loser staffers out of the campaign.
  3. Very curious who these 569 RVs are, but either way that doesn't mean Kamala or Barack Obama are the "face" of the party. Leadership vacuum, filled by AOC and Bernie.
  4. The fact anyone believes this is an accurate description of reality is a testament to how effective propaganda is on Americans. The most subtle critiques and recommendations are treated like unforgivable affronts.
  5. I had high expectations for Radical LIberal Raphael Warnock but he voted for the Lincoln Riley Act (a sign of weakness) plus he's old, he's not white, and he's not expendable in the Senate because it's not a safe D state and the GA lege and GA governor will stack the odds
  6. Possible offseason touchdown at Arrowhead
  7. There was a leadership vacuum and it's being filled by the strongest actors in the party. 1. AOC 2. Sanders 3. Crockett 4. Kamala Harris 5. Buttigieg / Jeffries (TIE) 7. Booker 8. Newsom I'm honestly shocked Jeffries is as high as he is, but look at that top three and compare how the public perceives them to how Booker and Newsom are perceived today. https://coefficient.org/national-approval-study/
  8. Harvard unfairly favors "back of the bus" viewpoints
  9. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/apd-investigating-body-found-near-lady-bird-lake/
  10. Not really. That's why the republicans have been behaving and will continue to behave as if there's no opposition whatsoever.
  11. The Democratic caucus are fucking losers. it's a requirement to be a fucking loser if you want to be promoted in that organization. An interesting theory. Assuming that were true, where the fuck has he been the last 9 years?
  12. That was my first impression at the time he threw his hat into the ring. Back then I really thought Beto would outshine him, but I was wrong there. Most people recognize him and no longer struggle with his last name. Still, at the end of the day, Pete is more of a surrogate than a leader, and he's quite valuable in that role.
  13. This is just copium on your part. Almost every article that reported on this poll has used a headline to the effect that AOC is the face of the party. But fine let's bring this back to Pete Buttigieg. He got 5% (tied with Hakeem Jeffries). So why are we spending so much time pretending Pete is this generational political superstar when despite all his media hits and Fox News debates and town halls he can't get even one fifth of AOC's share in this poll?
  14. AOC has sway with voters, not the fossils in Congress that are demonstrably incapable of opposing the Trump regime.
  15. Well a pollster ranked a bunch of people and AOC is by far #1, with Bernie Sanders #2.
  16. If not AOC, then who's the "face" of the party?
  17. This is like criticizing DJ Monroe for not playing enough snaps at Texas. If she wanted to, she could throw her weight around and rock the boat. She could portal out of the party, so to speak, and comfortably win re-election in her district.
  18. I'm just saying perception is reality. Trump lies about many things but one of the few things he has going for him is instinctively knowing who has power. There's no democrat with more clout than AOC. He knows it. I know it. Everyone knows it.
  19. That's a quaint notion. Your opinion is at odds with Trump https://www.newsweek.com/white-house-calls-aoc-leader-democratic-party-2078215 Your opinion is at odds with polling https://www.al.com/politics/2025/05/no-one-is-the-face-of-the-democrats-new-poll-should-scare-the-party-ahead-of-next-elections.html I'm not saying she's done anything to earn it, I'm just saying nobody else is stepping up.
  20. I don't think that will happen soon. She will be a governor or senator before she even thinks about running for president. But she is the current defacto leader and will be testing her kingmaking power soon, perhaps even in the NYC mayoral race.
  21. Bill Burr could win in a landslide if he was dumb enough to get into politics
  22. If we can flip a guy from LaTech we can flip anyone.
  23. This is all too true. I'm gonna wait and see about this husband, actually. It sure seems like a lot of bad shit happened very recently, which sometimes coincides with bad influences descending on a person's life. Like you said we don't know shit about fuck, so I'm not going to jump to that conclusion but I'm not going to be surprised if we later learn some unflattering things about how this man's life began to unravel.
  24. Those are losers, foreigners, and bots. Losers and foreigners existed during the Obama years, they just didn't post as much on social media. Most voters have better things to do than post hateful comments all day. If the Dems are serious about winning, they need to nominate a strong person. Most Americans are drawn to strength, regardless of everything else. It makes them feel safe and taken care of. We think of Biden as weak because of his frail condition in 2024, the way he allowed his own party to kill BBB, and the way Netanyahu controlled him, but his public image in 2020 was very different. I'm not really talking about physical strength or stamina or fitness. I'm talking about strength as a person, strength as a candidate. Biden's frailness was secondary to his inability to command respect, which the republicans definitely got a lot of mileage out of. Especially that debate, holy shit. Now, JB is a strong guy, I just have a nagging fear of a Fetterman-style health episode at a very inopportune time. He's got time to throw Ozempic his weight and take some blood thinners to minimize the risk of strokes. I mean he's a billionaire he could hire the best wellness team money can buy to address the health issue.
