In response to my assertion yesterday, that the democrats had no realistic path to 270 and it was obvious from January. I had a discussion with a friend of mine who believes the Democrats could have won if they had done things differently
Her argument was essentially this, if Biden had retired, and not run at all in 2024 the Democrats would have had a proper primary and wound up with a moderate candidate then she and others like her would have voted for them. She didn’t like Trump but couldn’t vote for Harris. So if the democrats had put up a moderate candidate, through a normal primary process, then she and others like her would have likely voted Democrat and Trump would have lost.
Its an interesting hypothetical, but I still don’t see this as what would have happened, even if the Dems had had a primary. One of the reasons Joe Biden got tapped in 2020 in the first place was directly related to how radical the democrat primary field was in 2020 was. DNC and powers that be knew that none of the folks in the primary process were moderate enough to win the general election, and if they continued down the path they were on they would lose the general election. They needed someone in the primaries they could sell as a moderate, and that someone was Joe Biden.
. . .
I think they would have won if they ran Tulsi Gabbard.
Same with 2016.
But the DS can’t control her so they don’t want her.
They would still lose. You can’t successfully run against the last 4 years as a Dem. Hungry people don’t make their decision on abortion.
What, change all their policies?
Their entire party needs an enema to flush out the Woke supporters, commies, and media.
It ain't working.
It doesn’t matter what they did this time, they were tied to high inflation, millions of illegals, high crime, gender nonsense, and wars. Their only hope now is to wrest the party back from the far Left loonies who’ve taken over.
Grab lots of popcorn.
The Democrats are so beholden to their far left progressive donors they have totally ignored their original base of poor, marginalized, economically deprived people.
Money talks, and talks loudly.
Soros, Gates, and all the Silicon Valley Perfumed Princes have bought themselves a political party and to hell with the people in it...............
“I can imagine what will be, unburdened by what was”
They had a primary.
The Democrat voters spoke.
They wanted a senile white guy.
Apparently, more women shop for groceries than kill their babies.
They might have found a viable candidate that was distinguishable from an SNL hack.
On June 5, 2024 we we certainly unburdened of what was. Now we shall see what can be.
I’m tired of hearing about the “didn’t like Trump but couldn’t vote for Harris” people.
They obviously don’t know what they believe nor why they believe it.
We all can take a much needed break then the beginning of the year we need to start working on the local elections, midterms and getting back to our soapboxes on social media-—we are the voice of reason-—we are the media!
To sum it up: “If the Marxists could stop being a**holes they would have won the election.”
yes
absolutely
they could have run on Trump’s platform
maybe wear a red hat
I believe Horizontal was the only person who could score Brandon’s campaign war chest loot. Follow the big Benjamins.
The Democrats have moved so far to the left, that a moderate wouldn’t win their primaries. Joe was a front. He hid in his basement. Then when he got elected, he took on all the far left policies.
Who has so many transgenders in such important positions? It was DEI all day, all night. Being pushed and shoved down our throats. No more meritocracy. That leaves the real folks doing the actual work getting behind.
This is why communism doesn’t work. The worker bees stop working. They don’t get promotions, they don’t get recognized, they don’t get rewarded for their productivity. So they stop working. They stop putting in the extra effort.
