Why not AOC? Really need some young blood and someone who is progressive. She also meets constitutional age requirements now.
I just looked up some of her positions and she does seem a bit more progressive than Biden was. She cosponsored Bernie's medicare for all bill a few years ago and supports marijuana legalization.
I think this whole mess could actually be a net positive for democrats as it reinvigorates enthusiasm ("hope and change", version 2024)
He's not going to endorse Trump, but he did give the most pro union speech at the RNC in our countries history. What he did took guts, and it opened a line of communication across the aisle. We need more of that not less.
Average is a terrible statistical metric for wages. It means nothing other than the rich are getting richer. Median is a more accurate representation of what most people earn.
From Jan 2017-2021, median wages increased 6% ($352 a week to $373), whereas Jan 2021-today wages have decreased 2% ($373 to $365). ^ Add that to rising costs of food and housing and economically, by the numbers, Biden is not doing great on the economy.
I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing long term for the country, but it is bad politically in the short term for democracy with an election in 4 months that will determine whether we retain a democracy or shift to a fascist system of government.
I mean the small government types are not the ones who typically pay attention to what actually is shown to work or not work.
Their view is big govt needs big taxes for big spending and big IRS steals people's hard earned money. No counterpoint or evidence will ever persuade them otherwise because it's a core belief that is largely beyond questioning.
First ten minutes were the worst, after that Biden started to make at least some reasonable points.
I don't think Russia will militarily invade NATO (at least at first). All he needs to do is install enough puppets like Hungary and Belarus to weaken the alliance, and an axis of dictatorships (Russia, China, and Iran) could then overtake the west.
Putin loves the work you do, keep up the good work.
Random tangent, but what is the magazine on the lower right? 'Quilty'? It's a bit funny that was placed there as a joke of some sort.
A vegan diet - which only contains plant-based foods - can lead to deficiencies in calcium, iodine and other vital mineral nutrients. This is particularly risky for people who need extra nutrients and for growing children and adolescents. For these reasons, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE) [German Nutrition Society] advises against following a completely vegan diet.

We've made more than people think.
If you went back in time 100 years ago and told them who was president in 2008 and reelected again in 2012, they would put you in an insane asylum.
I think people really don't care about race or gender in POTUS as much as the media puts out, people really just want to not go bankrupt from medical debt, or not have to pay $500,000 for their childrens college and other "bread and butter" personal issues.
99% of the US is progressive, they just don't know it yet. Everyone benefits from improved policy, that message just needs to be communicated better in a way that even the most stubborn conservative will understand. Bernie Sanders was proof of that because he was capturing the working class and it terrified the 0.01%
