    Want to lose the election even harder? This is how you lose the election even harder. HRC is even less popular than Kamala.

    I’m already super fucking worried he can’t overcome his doddering during public appearances. The stance on Israel and his Middle East is just abysmal. He’s not gaining ground against what SHOULD BE a slam dunk on a fucking convicted felon… The fact that this is going to be a toss-up is disgusting and makes me wonder why in the living hell we call our country a democracy.

      It’s amazing that these idiots can’t quite understand how angry people are, still, that this bitch shouldered Bernie Sanders out of the way so that she could lose to Donald Trump. Clinton is the reason we ended up with Donald Trump. The protest votes were more than were needed for him to win.

      The WP knows this and is trolling you. It has 0% chance of happening. It never should have been published. And it should have been completely ignored after it was published.

    Okay, hear me out. Yes, Hilldog got the DNC nomination and lost what was supposed to be the most softball Democratic presidential victory in American history, giving us 4 years of Trump. But! But…what if we get her on the ticket with Biden, Biden secures the re-election. Hillary is Vice President for 4 years. Does a great job, makes a lot of people at Goldman Sachs very wealthy, pushes for new legislation to have black teenagers officially outlawed, etc. Then, at the ripe old age of 80, we get a Hillary Clinton presidential bid once a motherfucking 'gain. And then she loses to, oh, I’m gonna say…David Duke.

    How is it that in a country of 300 million where half are Democrats, you can’t find a single politician that isn’t that isn’t a terrible choice for president? I’m asking as an outsider. Why would hilare be a good VP when she was destroyed for being a war mongering asshole? Why is Biden running against Trump while on deaths door?

      Because money is speech. Those with money are the loudest. Nothing more, nothing less. Running for office is unaffordable to the average person. By Design. The system could work. If campaigns were only publicly funded.

      We don’t really decide who we get to vote for for president. The GOP and DNC pick “their people”, and then the people who aren’t exhausted by the concept try to pick the least bad one of the two choices.

      It’s pretty abysmal. It’s the oligarchy that picks who they want.

        Yeah. The primary election process is entirely a sham. We have no real choice in selecting the candidates.

          I mean, I guess in most countries it’s the parties who pick the candidates but at least there’s real choice of a handful

    Bezos’s newspaper favors a conservative capitalist Democrat. No surprise here.

    Ah yes - Kathleen Parker, one of WaPo’s conservative opinion writers. Why anyone should care what she thinks or writes about is beyond me.

    Jesus fucking christ.

    Have pundits learned nothing? Clinton lost against Trump in critical states, even through she won the popular vote. If she’s in a race with Trump, and a president as unpopular as Biden, she would almost certainly help Biden lose. Harris is mostly just meh; she’s fairly progressive personally, but doesn’t have a lot of direct power as a VP, and she’s pretty low profile, so there’s not a lot of hate for her. Clinton though?
