Potential Harris VP picks

Of course, you were referring to Kamala, but as a matter of fact, she DIDN’T appeal to the youth.

 

Hallelujah! Yes it is certainly “game over”. Thanks for your input.

 

YEP!!!!!

YAY!!!!!

COULDN'T HAVE LOST WITHOUT HIM!

Signed:
K. Harris, vpotus (As opposed to VPOTUS).

 

So, who did YOU pick to deliver that swing state? It certainly wasn't Walz, right?

 

Oops

 

This was the original post to start this thread. Now that the end game is over, I've learned more about you GW than you should want anyone to know. The Walz pick was the most laughable running mate in recent history. All kidding aside, I am still stunned at the unbelievable ineptitude of Harris, but even moreso with Walz. You said Walz has a "fantastic record as governor". I cannot fathom how any sane human being can support that joke.

I'm just hoping you can accept and acknowledge the greatness that is about to come your way in the next four years. You're welcome.

 

He was doing great, and I still think Minnesota has been better for having him. As many on the left pointed out though once he was taken on to the campaign, they really tried hard to curtail his progressive appeal and defanged him. When hints of it did slip out (for example, the time he told donors he wanted to do away with the electoral college), the campaign came down hard on him to put him in line.

What I hope the dems learned was that pandering hard to the right and trying to court disaffected Republicans doesn’t work.

 

He's an idiot who believes the majority should tiptoe around the minority . . . he's nothing more than that.

 

CLOWN DEFENDING THE CLOWN.

 

The left hasn’t pandered to the right since Bill Clinton. Progressive issues weren’t the issues voters cared about coming out of the polling places. America offered a wholesale rejection to all this foolishness. Defending the indefensible is a fools game.

 

They went so hard into the right. They didn't even run progressive issues. I remember thinking "am i watching the RNC?" when Harris promised to keep us "the most lethal military in the world." Disgusting stuff. Speaking of the DNC, it was the first one in like 20 years to not have a trans speaker.

The last month of the campaign at least was entirely about courting Republicans. She toured with and touted the endorsement of the Cheyneys. It backfired, badly, and I hope they see that.

 

Well, most true conservatives don't share much of a love affair with Cheney.... But there were abortion vans at the DNC for heavens sakes. That's pretty much "in your face" progressive-ism. November 5th was a repudiation of all this outrageous public behavior. We don't care what you do in your bedroom. It simply doesn't have to be paraded about. We love our county and embrace our history, bruises and all. Our nation was rotting from within and we voted in the cure.

 

True, it was a misguided move all around, but the intention of courting Republicans against Trump is clear.

That's just not true. I looked into it. A singular, unaffiliated, planned parenthood vehicle was in a nearby neighborhood, and ran during some of the same week as the DNC.

Should everything that happened to go on during the RNC be attributed to them? Because we could go down that road if you insist.

Not like any election in recent history was the left so thoroughly abandoned. They didn't even talk about healthcare access!

 

Again, Clown defending a Clown.

Remind me again, who spent 1.7 Billion in 70 days?

Trans this......

 

I believe what you're failing to realize is that the majority of Americans don't want so-called "progressive" issues. They didn't want it during the last election and they don't want it now.

To some degree during this election, the democrats partially realized that far-left progressive ideas are a losing proposition and decided not to pander to that part of the spectrum. The majority of the electorate saw through them and could see that it was only a charade.

Deep down, democrats believe in communism, socialism and far-left policies that simply don't work and never will work. The people are waking up, Ben. Liberalism as its practiced by the democrat party today (or, rather, as it was practiced up until Nov. 5) is a dying ideal.

 

I don't know, progessive policies always poll well. This often even holds true with ostensibly conservative voters (when the "progressive" label is stripped from the policy). They haven't tried running leftist policies, mostly because there is no leftist party in America.

 

Polls are junk . . . And the Democrat Party is Leftist.

 

Certainly not in it's policy proposals

 

Certainly not in your mind.

If you read the ‘24 Democrat Party Platform critically, you’ll realize just how deceptively it splinters liberal believers off what used to be the great American tree of common sense. Such language carefully steers clear of commitments to core federal obligations and toward special interests aimed at capturing the votes of the targeted splinter groups of the party.

I’ve got other commitments today, and not enough time to enumerate the many examples right now, but I’m interested in taking the time later on, if you’ll commit to reading with an open mind.

 

I'm interested in your take, and I will keep an open mind while reading both the platform and your take. However, I will also try steer this back to policy being "leftist" or not in the context of world politics. They may be further left than the Republicans, but I'd contend they're effectively a center/center-right party in many domains.

I'll also look to the GOP platform for contrasts. They appear to keep things short and sweet.
