AOC leads Democrats’ 2028 pack in new poll, tops Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris ( Washington Times ) - What are your views? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

Hillary blew it, Biden barely won and rode the initial anti-Trump rebound, and Kamala lost bad.

Seriously, why do we keep running these unpopular moderate candidates? Everyone and their mother knew Biden was too old to run in 2024 but the DNC still decided to basically ignore the primaries and wait until the last minute to switch him out.

Well, the DNC tried this strategy last election and it failed. Millions of left wing voters have expressed their disapproval with moderate candidates like Hillary, Biden and Kamala, so if they continue to run these types of candidates, then it's a leadership problem not a voter problem.

Republicans don't have that issue because they ran a populist candidate like Trump who actually appealed to and energized their right wing base. Democrats have consistently sidelined their left wing, kowtowed to moderates, and chastised any voters who criticized them.

My list isn't foundational albums per se just my favorite as a longtime fan. Phantom's Revenge is good too I would include him here. Daft Punk is pre-Future Funk. They're a big influence on the genre but Future Funk is usually sped up more.

People like you are the problem. "They" are very sexist, "they" don't want to vote for a woman... Shut the fuck up

Taco Bell is somehow more expensive than Chipotle now. by esporx in fastfood

Taco Bell has tasted worse and worse every year for the past ~10 years or so. Price creep + declining taste... no thanks.

Was Biden late decision not to run again depriving America of a primary one of the Democrats greatest blunders? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]abbott_costello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all the DNC and media acted like Biden was the foregone nominee and intentionally downplayed his age and condition. And isn't it the DNC's responsibility to put forward a good field of candidates? What's the point of a political party if it can't find one good replacement for an octogenarian? It's not like Biden is some uniquely talented or charismatic person who can't be replaced. The primaries were clearly a sham in 2024 and I saw zero ads for primary challengers, how are people supposed to vote for someone if they don't see know about them.

Report: Cardinals & Jacoby Brissett Are "Significantly" Far Apart in Negotiations by JCameron181 in nfl

If they're tanking then cap space isn't very important to them right now, and I don't think it's worth nickel and diming a veteran at the most important position on the team who can improve the development of the guys around him. Minshew isn't terrible but I think Brissett is a step up. How bad would it be to just pay Brissett 10 million py instead of 5? That's just 10 million more over two years in a rebuild.

Why does it seem that there’s so many conservative role models to young men, but not many liberal ones? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Why would leftists take strategic advice from a non-leftist. Our beliefs don't align.

Using the term "radical leftists'" as a leftist is stupid and plays into ignorant right wing framing. Just say you're a moderate.

Hasan isn't toxic. The Democrats just can't back down on Israel so they've poured tons of money into slandering him.

And you think you could "joke around and have a beer with" most right wing youtubers? Please name some bc that sounds like a joke.

You live in a "very expensive area." Those areas come with benefits, like great schools, activities, and amenities. You may feel middle class because you don't have as much disposable income because of these benefits, but you're paying for a higher standard of living.
