Donald Trump fired off an angry middle-of-the-night attack on “highly overrated Jewish Governor” Josh Shapiro after he spoke out against the former president at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday night.

But it’s the type of politicians the Dem party should always be running…
Kamala is doing a lot better than Biden, but someone like Walz would be doing the Super Bowl Shuffle all the way to the White House without breaking a sweat.
He’s the type of candidate our voters want, and how he went from completely unknown to ridiculously popular in like a month just shows that the “name recognition” stuff was always bullshit.
Walz isnt unique. He’s great, but there’s lots of politicians out there like him. It’s just almost impossible for them to get to the national stage when the DNC, media, billionaires, and lobbists like AIPAC want neoliberals.
They’ll never come out and say it openly, but I sense a strong theme in the Harris campaign of “we’re also running to give the republican party the impetus to kick Trump and his cronies to the political nothingness that they deserve to be in”
With so many people saying “I’m a republican but I’m voting for Harris”, it’s very clear that this election is just as much about Republican’s reclaiming their “grand ole’ party” from the cult of personality that has taken it over. It’s a shame that they have to literally vote with their opponent in order to make that happen. But the thought process seems to be “Let’s get dominated, spend the next four years purging ourselves of Trump and his idiotic sycophants, and then come back in the next election and fight with dignity again.”
I never got the concept of Republicans going back to running honorable candidates. They haven’t since Lincoln. The Republican candidates for just this century have been a certified pedophile, a Mormon, a man who chose Sarah fucking Palin as his running mate, and Bush. Hell, before that you had Reagan, who if you wanna blame America’s problems on one man, he’s the one. You had Bush Sr., who wasn’t completely awful and was granted 1 term for it. You’ve got Nixon and Watergate. You’ve got Eisenhower being almost impressively racist.
The Republican party hasn’t had a good candidate in decades, if not well over a hundred years. Were they less openly insane before? Sure. Were they actually less insane? Absolutely not. These are the people that manufactured the drug crisis, leading to the pointless deaths and arrests of thousands of black people.
Trump wholely controls the RNC, they’re not working against him.
Republican voters are willing to vote for Harris when they wouldn’t vote Biden, because Biden was just honestly a bad candidate. Now that the candidate is better, more people are willing to cross party lines and vote D.
It would have happened in 2016 and 2020 too if we ran better candidates.
Hell, it happened 2008 and 2012 when Obama ran. Not only did people vote for him. He flipped a lot of state governments in “red states” blue.
Because he changed people’s minds about what the democratic party was.
Exactly. No one voted for Kamala. People didn’t vote for Biden, they voted against Trump. Hilary won the primary because Warren split the progressive vote and wouldn’t drop out.
Dems haven’t put forward a truly clean and charismatic leader since Obama.
Warren ran in 2020. Hillary won in 2016 because of superdelegate bullshit creating an air of inevitable victory before a single vote had been cast and the DNC actively working to suppress the Sanders campaign through smear tactics and a severely limited debate schedule.
