Dems need a rockstar. Someone with charisma. Bill was that, Obama was that.
They got 4 years to find them

By blackace Go To PostGavin would have gotten ran too.Not a fan, at best he's a mixed bag, but I do think he performs better than Kamala. If for no other reason than some baked in misogyny. He's also got great hair.
Regarding your more recent post. Yes charisma would be great. That search is how we ended up with Beto though lol
I think he would have gotten dog just like Harris but maybe he loses by less?
Harris was a shit choice, but by the time they decided to move, she was maybe the only choice people knew.
Ending up with Beto wasn't even a bad thing. Party was looking drippy then.
The dems need to stop picking who they want or promised a chance to run and listen to the people.

By LFMartins86 Go To PostThe closest they have to that has a few problems, she's a Latina and very progressive.Are talking about AOC?
She wasn't even old enough to run this time.
AOC likely won't even peak as house rep.
Just the fact that he'd meet these guys in a mud fight would've been a dramatic difference.
Still think all these "wow so close" "what incredible momentum" "she's the one" self licking ice cream polls need to be scrutinized way harder. Because what else are you doing but cooking books to spite your own base - and hopefully just the voters fr...
By blackace Go To PostGavin would have gotten ran too.Nah. He was angling for Biden to stepdown much sooner but the timing made no sense for him to commit especially with seats up for grabs at the same time. Hell he made it a point to run DeSantis off the stage just make a point to a passive approach from the White House overall.

I mean I"m sure their internals are off for whatever reason, but even the national polling was and they were hedging in Trump's direction due to 2020.
As much as I think Gavin is a mixed bag, I absolutely agree about his willingness to take the fight to them. DeSantis example is great here.

first and foremost, they waited too long to move. They knew Biden was incapable for at 2 years.
I don't know if Harris's problem was fighting them. Harris did well in the debate but she doesn't have any charm at all.
I guess we will never know, but I believe if Gavin ran the same campaign, he gets stomped too.
I agree with Dy about the polling that shit is a joke

She turned 35 last month so she was old enough.
By Fenderputty Go To PostI highly doubt she would ever want to run too.
Isn't there a phrase about the best leaders being those who don't to lead?
By FortuneFaded Go To PostShe turned 35 last month so she was old enough.I don't know if you can run for president under the age limit or just need to be 35 when sworn into office. However, no way it would have worked.

The Boys gifs alone would have killed her 😂
By blackace Go To PostI don't know if you can run for president under the age limit or just need to be 35 when sworn into office.It only matters what age you are at inauguration. You have to be 30 to be a senator but Joe Biden was only 29 when he won (birthday is 20th November).
Dems need to say fuck it and just run celeb or someone who isn’t a politician. Even better if they’re self made.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostDems need to say fuck it and just run celeb or someone who isn’t a politician. Even better if they’re self made.As I said before, Mark Cuban.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostIt only matters what age you are at inauguration. You have to be 30 to be a senator but Joe Biden was only 29 when he won (birthday is 20th November).well that clears that up!
By FortuneFaded Go To PostAs I said before, Mark Cuban.Mark Cuban? word? 😂😂😂
Dude getting sonned by Musk daily
By blackace Go To PostMark Cuban? word? 😂😂😂I don't want him but he's the closest thing they have to a Trump.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostAs I said before, Mark Cuban.Stop.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI don't want him but he's the closest thing they have to a Trump.They don't need a Temu Trump. They just need someone with charisma.
By blackace Go To PostThey don't need a Temu Trump. They just need someone with charisma.Beyoncé step right up
By blackace Go To PostThey don't need a Temu Trump. They just need someone with charisma.
He's the right age, charismatic, pro-Israel, and threw his friend under the bus to avoid appearing mean to the right wing. Perfect for the DNC.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostBeyoncé step right upThe Rock tho 🤌🏿🤌🏿
By blackace Go To PostThe Rock tho 🤌🏿🤌🏿He will be on the Republican ticket.
By DY_nasty Go To PostHis policies couldn't be worse than his football takes.
the answer was right in front of us all along
By FortuneFaded Go To PostHe will be on the Republican ticket.maybe. He supported Biden
By i can get you a toe Go To PostLet's fight populism with populism.It's gotta be something. Biden only won because he still had the Obama buff and could old man ramble.
Okay dude.
You need someone who can steal the room. Policies isn't enough, sadly, but it is what it is.
I'm talking to FF, you can pick a better candidate without going down the "this celeb/billionaire would be our benevolent wannabe dictator" road.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostI'm talking to FF, you can pick a better candidate without going down the "this celeb/billionaire would be our benevolent wannabe dictator" road.m8, I literally said I don't want Mark Cuban and the Jack Black post was an attack on the DNC.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostI'm talking to FF, you can pick a better candidate without going down the "this celeb/billionaire would be our benevolent wannabe dictator" road.Agreed.
Anyways most of this is just Biden should have been one term and the dems should have just primaried the better/more popular govs they got.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostAnyways most of this is just Biden should have been one term and the dems should have just primaried the better/more popular govs they got.Yes or if they were to just choose someone not choose someone tied to the Biden administration.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostLet's fight populism with populism.What do you think Bernie was if not a populist lol
Okay dude.
By blackace Go To PostIt's gotta be something. Biden only won because he still had the Obama buff and could old man ramble.That's seriously all it is.

We've seen over and over for years that no one attending can speak about policies at any of these rallies.
Having said that, Maryland has a governor, Wes Moore, that is on the path if he wants it. A Bible carrying Rhodes scholar vet that's young, black and has already spent time in the Whitehouse. At a minimum he's Newsom's VP.

Okay dude.
Guess which corner is more amenable to populist ideas? Not saying they have to go that route but they have built a wealthy educated coalition that will never win anything. Biden is the outlier and only won because Trump mishandled Covid so poorly and even then if it didn’t happen in an election year it probably wouldn’t have mattered since people have short memories.
