no, but it beats the alternative. A dumb, communist whose only policy is making sure everyone has their safe spaces.

At this point, RFK and Musk have me more excited than any other options. Harris and Trump are an afterthought but the Dems behind Harris aren't much better honestly

How could this possibly have been avoided? Anyone have any ideas?

Just a couple of Republican senators who had some backbone, and didn't want to have their party turned into a personality cult, who believed in their party's core tenets which their nominee continually disrespects, could have voted to impeach.

He would have been banned from the office permanently, and they could have a nominee who wasn't increasingly losing it and saved their party.

The Democrats are stupid. That's the gist of it. Trump wouldn't be a threat if the Democrats weren't so dumb.

Funny. You can’t help yourself. He was referring to your party’s way of “electing” their candidate. You could have had a proper candidate, instead went with the dei moron who can’t form a coherent sentence.

This shouldn’t even be a race. The dem candidate should be winning every state outside of the Deep South, but your party “elected” someone worse than trump. Think about that for a moment.

^^^^100,000%!!!!!!!!!!

Trump is a fucking asshat. It goes beyond not liking him. I'm legit concerned about having someone like that in office. But, had the Democrats not been stupid, NO WAY it happens!! As it is, he's winning and he's going to win, and it makes COMPLETE sense as to why that is going to happen. This could have been, and absolutely should have been, avoided. Instead we are about to reelect a narcissistic mental patient that would otherwise probably be in prison like many of his former subordinates have been for what they did under his direction.

GOOD JOB AMERICA!!!

who can’t form a coherent sentence.

Are you referring to the candidate that spent 39 minutes dancing on stage to music instead of taking questions, who rambled incoherently to the economic forum when asked questions, who does the "weave" instead of answering questions, refuses a second debate or national interviews...or the one who is taking interviews and questions, even on Fox.

You should probably do a bit more research and understand why that happened. You may feel a bit like Kamala after doing so.

Paul, how can you, or any other sensible Democrat, not be utterly infuriated with the (so called) leadership of the Democratic Party?? They can't win an election against Donald Trump.

They can't win an election against DONALD TRUMP!!!!!!

If that hasn't sunk in yet, then it needs to.

[GoMuskies]

I think we're in for two straight weeks of "Trump bad" with not much talk about Kamala because, frankly, that's a better, likely more effective strategy.

Sensible Democrats are absolutely infuriated with how this is playing out. Ideologues on the other hand think there's nothing wrong with how they propped up a corpse for 4 years and then decided to nominate a complete fool without a primary.
