    Jesus Christ, we don’t need Hillary 3.0.

    We need someone who can say something and it’s like…actual fucking words that normal people can relate to. Not something that was written in committee by some consultants working off polling.

    “Don’t rape kids. Don’t violate the Constitution. Everyone gets to vote.”

    None of this is complicated.

      Good for you, that is irrelevant because empty centrist, corporate politicians like her will never win against MAGA.

          Barely? It should have been a landslide and Biden was able to scrape his way into office as an old white guy DEI hire because of how catastrophically Trump dropped the ball on Covid.

          And then he went on to destroy the democratic party base with his bribe-induced genocide support. Centrism was mistrusted before biden and now its reviled.

          Biden won because of Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic. If another centrist Democrat with no vision is elected in 2028 than it’s just a matter of time before another fascist is elected.

    If she’s nominated, it’s a fix. Classic authoritarian playbook: maintain the illusion of democracy by propping up an opponent that you aren’t likely to lose to. Then, stuff the ballot boxes anyway.

    Cute that US still think they will have elections after the orange buffoon. November will be very interesting, and maybe an eye opener for the remaining septics: I’ll say it here now, trump is a fascist, a pedophile, a narcissist, and a dictator. He will not leave. He will use putin’s playbook. The rest of the world needs to wake up now and consider the US as an antagonist, same as Russia and China. I would be delighted to be wrong, wait and see I guess.

      He’s already looking to disenfranchise many tens of millions of voters if he’s unable to cancel the midterm elections wholesale.

      I’m sure that if there ever will be elections again, they will be purely performative and with a foregone conclusion, just like how North Korea has “elections”.

      you are not wrong. What many people are missing here is that Trump is currently the most powerful human being on earth and everyone outside his power circle is wasting their time if they think they can influence his decisions. He has routinely demonstrated the law does not apply to his government and may even run for 3rd term or outright, cancel the elections because “we are at war”. He already replaced the president in Venezuela, and will do the same for Iran and Russia. China and India are actual paperweights with the illusion of a billion count human population each. That will not faze him.

      Let’s say that he won’t run for a third term.

      JD Vance becomes POTUS.

      Trump wouldn’t accept being VP.

      What position can he take within a cabinet, assuming that no one prosecutes him and throws him in a cell where he belongs?

        Trump cannot serve anywhere in the line of presidential succession, because he can’t be eligible to rise to a role he is Constitutionally incapable of accepting.

          A former president who has served two terms is only barred from becoming the vice president. They could otherwise hold any other position in the line of presidential succession, and would be passed over if something happened to everyone in front of them. Same thing applies to the other conditions for being president such as a natural born citizen, 35 years of age, etc.

        Why would he? He had zero interest in politics. He just likes being president because it’s the top job. Anything less than that is worthless to him.

    I do need capital. And votes. Wanna know why? “I have a dream.” That one day, NO person in this nation will control their OWN destiny. A land of the TRULY controlled, dammit. A nation of FORCE, not words. Ruled by STRENGTH, not committee. Where the law changes to suit the PAC, not the citizen. Where power and justice are still where they belong: in the hands of the billionaires!

    Where no man is free to think – to act – for himself! Praise all these limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats. Praise this 24/7 Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit. Praise “American pride”. Praise the media! Praise all of it! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There’s no saving it – we need to preserve it as it is.

    Keep the slate as it. PRESERVE IT! And with the rot, old America will stay. Unevolved, and tamed! The weak will be purged, and the richest will thrive – free to live as they see fit, they will make America GREAT AGAIN!

    What the hell are you talking about?

    You still don’t get it. I’m using war as a business to get elected… so I can do war as a business! In my old America, people will die and kill for what PACs BELIEVE! For money, for oil! For what they’re told is right. Every man will be forced to fight PAC wars!

    She needs to course correct a tad to capture the swing voter and sleepers.

    So long as there is a real primary, then let them try to shove her down our throats.
