So what is the funniest scenario for 2024. I think it would be Biden running with Hillary as his VP, then losing to Nikki Haley with Trump as her VP, running on the platform of becoming the first female president.

    Oh, so THAT’S why all the Bidenists and bots have been getting super pissed when you bring up how much the Biden campaign is following HRC’s losing strategies from 2016.

    If she actually gets the VP spot there’s 0% chance Biden wins. It’s already vanishingly low, but with her as VP it’s impossible.

      Practically means you’re voting for her too with his chances of dying in office or being debilitated are high. Hell, he may get COVID with this new wave and all the people he interacts with traveling due to worldwide conflicts hitting fever pitches

      Consider: she becomes Biden’s running mate for 2024, somehow they win despite losing the popular vote to Trump, the day of the inauguration Biden has a heart attack on the stairs to Air Force One, dying instantly, Kamala becomes first female pres for a day causing Hillary to descend into rabid insanity, the 25th ammendment is invoked and Marjorie Taylor Greene (having somehow become Speaker) becomes the second woman to serve as President

      Democrats have a weird obsession with Hillary, so probably not. They actually think she’s smart, likable, etc. They haven’t figured out that for whatever “base” of voters she grabs, there is a larger base of “fuck no! Anyone but her!” voters. I would’ve thought 2008 and 2016 would’ve proved that point by now.

        I get contention on the point of these politicians being “smart” as a thought terminating cliche. I think at some level people feel entirely comfortable not giving a fuck about what I’m saying. Which is to say that if I pushed back about this, they’d dig their heels in on the next point in my hopeless endeavor to change hearts and minds. Kissinger was not ‘smart,’ the fruits of his labor were millions of deaths. It’s been hard to explain how someone being educated at Harvard leaves me skeptical of their credentials. It doesn’t matter to me how well spoken Buttigieg is, his rhetoric is empty and his methods are status quo up-keeping bullshit. It leaves this blindspot where libs can’t believe nobody else cares that Trump did documents wrong. That doesn’t make the people who impeached him his intellectual superiors. Trump’s (primary) problem isn’t that he was dumb at the helm, but rather that he was ratcheting an austere, fascist ideology while rolling back everything that tried to protect the planet from pollution.

        Hillary had a more academic debate than Trump. Do you remember anything she said? Do you remember that time Trump said that if he were in charge, she’d be in jail? She got owned.

        It really is incredible that thenlist of people responsible for her loss includes literally every person on earth except her at this point.

        The democratic party cannot fail, it can only be failed.

          Well, that was most of the purpose of those quotes. She might draw more women that wouldn’t vote to go vote, but I doubt it’s anything significant.

    I think it’ll be when Hillary has Joe release a series of ads that darken Trump’s skin and strongly imply he’s probably a secret “mulatto”

    Then Biden slips on shit and breaks his hip at the Iowa State Fair

    The DNC thinks about annointing Kamala but blinks. They approach Oprah about a surprise, last-minute bid, but she’s not interested. They finally settle on Beto O’Rourke. He loses every state to Trump.
