Talarico is a great candidate as well and probably will win his primary, anyway. I just think that nationally, the democrats are way too focused on identity and not nearly focused enough on charisma. They need candidates who will get people off their asses and out to the ballot box.
Yeah, the people who think Crockett is uppity are not going to appreciate this guy telling them the Bible actually means things their pastor doesn't talk about.
I'm not saying that she will definitely win or anything. Just that if she can't win, Talarico also isn't going to win. She'd be a solid candidate in any state that has any chance whatsoever of electing a democrat.
It feels just like about 10 years ago, when Elon (who wasn't nearly as hated then) and his followers kept saying that nobody would be driving their own cars by now and that parking garages would be empty because automated taxi services would be so cheap. That actually felt less like bullshit to me because I didn't have a self-driving car of my own to constantly disappoint me the way that I have ChatGPT on my phone and google's top result every time I do a search.
If the democrats can't win a statewide race in Texas with the economy in the shitter like it is and with their citizens having to leave work to go keep the peace in warzones like the touristy parts of Chicago, then it doesn't really matter who they are running. Talarico and Crockett are both viable candidates in any state that has a snowball's chance in hell of actually electing a democrat.
The supreme court is going to cancel them in March. We are going to be running an absolutely enormous deficit, even by government standards, between the tax cut, loss of tariffs revenue, and tariffs refund payments, but I don't have a lot of hope in the Democrats' ability to message that.
We're a Christian nation, though.
The people who support raiding a church's Christmas Eve service are the exact same people who get pissed off at their Starbucks cup not saying "Merry Christmas."
She might not have vision, but to say she got into politics to keep herself out of prison while grifting the country for billions of dollars is more than a bit unfair.
Yeah. I'm coming around to the idea that there shouldn't be any pardons at all. Just an appeals process and the death penalty for prosecutors found to be monkeying with evidence.
No, it will just be a blanket pardon for any crimes that might have been committed, like Biden gave a whole lot of people on his way out. That sort of pardon should especially be illegal.
If the charges move forward and actual pedophiles are going to face consequences as a result, I think I would be ok with that. Trump would just pardon anyone found guilty, though.
It's too late for that. Only a matter of time until someone just as racist as he is starts calling him "Spick Fuentes" and he steals all his followers.
If the republicans were to cave today, would it even be possible to put the subsidies back into the ACA? Isn't every state already advertising their plans and don't people have to be signed up pretty soon?
Regarding Mamdani, what communist policies can the mayor of New York actually enact? Wealthy people start getting taxed 5% on their income or something?
