This has to be a Trump psyop
How is it that in a country of 300 million where half are Democrats, you can’t find a single politician that isn’t that isn’t a terrible choice for president? I’m asking as an outsider. Why would hilare be a good VP when she was destroyed for being a war mongering asshole? Why is Biden running against Trump while on deaths door?
People with real skills and leadership ability aren’t politicians.
Because money is speech. Those with money are the loudest. Nothing more, nothing less. Running for office is unaffordable to the average person. By Design. The system could work. If campaigns were only publicly funded.
We don’t really decide who we get to vote for for president. The GOP and DNC pick “their people”, and then the people who aren’t exhausted by the concept try to pick the least bad one of the two choices.
It’s pretty abysmal. It’s the oligarchy that picks who they want.
Yeah. The primary election process is entirely a sham. We have no real choice in selecting the candidates.
I mean, I guess in most countries it’s the parties who pick the candidates but at least there’s real choice of a handful
This is the same WaPo columnist who wrote Democrats weaponizing flags to intimidate Alito is an embarrassment
So maaayyybe she doesn’t have the best judgment.
How about we all hold hands and vomit in our own mouths instead, continuously reswalllowing the vomit before puking it back up again.
Sounds more appealing than anything they’ve got going
Wapo columnists and Hillary can go jump off a cliff together. Everyone’s sick of them both.
Shouldn’t Biden be the one that gets replaced?
She would have been amazing as a president, but if you really want to trigger a red wave of insane Trump voters foaming at the mouth about “her emails!” bringing back Hillary would definitely be the way to do it.
I dunno, I haven’t forgiven that slavemaster for y’know, chattel-slaving Arkansas prisoners for the Governor’s Mansion while Bill was still running it. Note: when I say “haven’t forgiven”, what I really mean is “I pray for the spiritual successor to John Brown to appear every two weeks”.
I mean… I feel like she would be an improvement however marginal it may be.
As they say, “opinions are like assholes; we all have them.” Also, “opinions are like kittens and everyone’s giving them away.”
Bezos’s newspaper favors a conservative capitalist Democrat. No surprise here.
Want to lose the election even harder? This is how you lose the election even harder. HRC is even less popular than Kamala.
I’m already super fucking worried he can’t overcome his doddering during public appearances. The stance on Israel and his Middle East is just abysmal. He’s not gaining ground against what SHOULD BE a slam dunk against a fucking convicted felon… The fact that this is going to be a toss-up is disgusting and makes me wonder why in the living hell we call our country a democracy.
It’s amazing that these idiots can’t quite understand how angry people are, still, that this bitch shouldered Bernie Sanders out of the way so that she could lose to Donald Trump. Clinton is the reason we ended up with Donald Trump. The protest votes were more than were needed for him to win.
Ah yes - Kathleen Parker, one of WaPo’s conservative opinion writers. Why anyone should care what she thinks or writes about is beyond me.
I honestly think Clinton would have been a decent president, and that she was consistently smeared, but this is a terrible idea. There are lots of people who have bought into her being the antichrist and who could never vote for a ticket she’s on.
I dunno like I get that people hate her, justifiably, but I find it very hard to believe that Harris is better
Harris doesn’t elicit the strong negative emotions as Hilary. People might not like her, but few viscerally hate her.
Sorry I shouldn’t been more clear; yes she would hurt the numbers in terms of voting, but I meant that she would be better at actually doing the job
Jesus fucking christ.
Have pundits learned nothing? Clinton lost against Trump in critical states, even through she won the popular vote. If she’s in a race with Trump, and a president as unpopular as Biden, she would almost certainly help Biden lose. Harris is mostly just meh; she’s fairly progressive personally, but doesn’t have a lot of direct power as a VP, and she’s pretty low profile, so there’s not a lot of hate for her. Clinton though?
Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, that’s all I need to know to dismiss all of their “reporting”.
Oh my god please no
