America, it is our choice. Authoritarianism and Xenophobia vs. our representative democracy.

Let's not throw away the last 200 years. Please reject the Manichean, extremist, right-wing ticket.

    is snowballing.  Oh well.  I've always thought Biden could win.  I still do.  I'm not at all convinced Kamala can win.

    It has nothing (much) to do with her skill or competence.  It's because we live in a fundamentally racist misogynistic country.

    The good news is black women are the key to victory and they have likely never been motivated the way a Kamala candidacy would motivate them.

    And I absolutely do not think replacing her is an option.  That would be a disaster

    Obama appears to be behind all this.he who lost record numbers of seats for the party. He should be the last person anyone is listening to right now

    This is why I like being on this thread.

    I had the impression that Obama was more liked than he apparently is, at least by members of this blog.

    GA thanks for the "things that make you go hmmm" moment this morning.

    annoying thing in politics to me over the last 24 years or so is the whole political Jesus thing. First we had BushJesus and then ObamaJesus and now TrumpJesus. Obama is a skilled pol at getting himself elected to office but not much else. He did not have much of an understanding of what the GOP is largely comprised of these days (former Dixiecrats) and thought that they would be afraid to oppose him because they might be considered racist for doing so.

    I don't think most commenters here have much of a problem with Obama.

    In this particular case you are discussing a very old grudge that goes back to beating Hillary in a primary.  Which has never been forgiven.

    Make sense.

    Should be an interesting day today as its reported that Biden's campaign is having an all hands call today.  Not sure if this is a regularly scheduled call and media is grasping or if this is an unscheduled call.

    I think that's the one thing everyone agrees on.

    They Biden fundraisers announced they only got 25% of the money they expected to raise since the debate.  That's not sustainable.

    This has gone on long enough.  The clock is ticking.  Every day, every hour matters now.  

    What I read is if something does not happen by Monday when Congress returns the damn is going to break and lots more elected Democrats are going to go public.

    it's the whole savior thing. One thing I like about Biden is nobody thinks he's some sort of savior.

    You have never -once- missed a chance to trash Obama at the mention of his name.

    That's your right.  But let's be honest.
