Former president and aides were more concerned with protecting his legacy than allowing nominee to define her own narrative, authors argue
You're viewing a single thread.
Let's blame Joe so Kamala can run again.
Not fooling me, DNC. I smell what you're cooking.
She's free to run again, but this time she has to win the primary. And that's unlikely. It's rare in modern times for someone to lose a Presidential election and get another shot at it, Nixon and Trump are the only two in over a hundred years.
You seem to forget what they did to sanders. If they want a specific candidate they will make sure they win.
Also Adlai Stevenson in the 50s although he lost both times.
I want to tell myself that there's no way in hell they would let this happen, let alone make it happen.
Then I remember it's the DNC.
It’s not like they colluded to kneecap Bernie’s campaign. Wait…
Twice.
Kamala or Buttigeig, you can bet on it.
Seriously, go to Vegas. At least you'll make money on the end of the world.
Buttigeig is likely going to run given that he is giving up his chance at a Senate seat.
I feel like Walz is going to run as well. He's been showing up in national media a lot and seems to be becoming the face of the opposition.
Newsom seems like he's going to run as well, but he's been making terrible choices recently.
Yeah, Walz refuses to announce (like they always do) but you don't make the amount of noise he is without gearing up for something. I don't think there's any way he doesn't run, and currently he might even be my favorite of those that I'm confident will run. We've got a while before the next presidential election though, so anything could happen and I can't really be bothered thinking about.
Newsom seems like he’s going to run as well, but he’s been making terrible choices recently.
Yeah, he's trying to become the preordained nominee by making choices party leadership likes.
This guy gets it. Speaking as a Californian, this is exactly, precisely what's happening. I don't use this term a lot because it resurfaces trauma of not realizing I was posting in a thread on Hexbear, but Newsom is straight up the textbook definition of a shitlib. He's always kinda been a shitlib, with a ratio of one kinda okay decision to like four disappointing, mediocre, and shitty decisions that make the wealthy and corporate donors happy. Now that he sees a path to the presidency laid bare, he's fully embracing his shitlib instincts. Please, for the love of Buddha, don't vote for him in the primary.
Please, for the love of Buddha, don’t vote for him in the primary.
As though primary votes matter. The party successfully argued in court that they don't.
Same reaction here, and the DNC is just dumb enough to do it.
Well, there probably won't be any more elections, so there's that.
Yeah, I bet we won't even have mid terms in 2 years
