    Can you imagine what it would look like if they chose someone like Jon Stewart instead? How a debate like that would have gone? A guy can dream…

      Jon Stewart is someone I would actually look forward to giving my vote.

        Would he have to leave the Daily Show though?

          No but he would only agree to working one day a week as POTUS.

      Just anyone with more charisma than a bowl of cold oatmeal.

      If nothing matters except beating trump, why arent we coalescing around a candidate Dem voters want so that we’ll get as much votes against trump as possible

          They have no ideas, they only know that they don’t like something

          People who only dislike things are so fucking boring

        The problem is “a candidate dem voters want” doesn’t have any obvious choices.

        Like Harris isn’t that popular, but the optics of skipping over a black woman when the VP would typically be the heir apparent? You think Gavin Newsom would be a good choice? Californians don’t have a lot of good things to say about him right now. I haven’t seen a lot of other names floated.

      I mean yea, but that’s not really fair to him. Being president seems like a terrible burden.

      The problem is that the DNC would never go for him or anyone like him, because he’s not a blatant neoliberal.

      If they swap, it’ll be someone like Newsom.

          It’s funny how some people go on and on about the importance of democracy except when primary elections don’t go their way, at which point either the DNC rigged everything, or the DNC needs to step in to ‘fix’ the wrong choice the primary voters made. Sometimes they offer both simultaneously, because fuck consistency.

            I wonder if their goal is to undermine America as a whole, stoke apathy and distrust, and produce a certain strategic outcome.
