  • I'm thinking about it like this.

    Trump wins 2024 - the possibility of no 2026 elections is not insignificant.

    Harris/Kelly win 2024 - Moderate risk the Dems lose 1 Senate seat in 2026.

    If Kelly being on board helps Harris win swing states I think it's worth it. I'd take the potential risk of a hostile Senate in the future over the impending risk of fascism in a few months.

  • Kelly's seat would go to a Dem replacement. They wouldn't have to run for reelection until 2026 in a special election. The seat would be safe for at least 2 years out. Arguably a gamble worth taking to make sure we still have elections come 2026.

  • Bullshit. I subscribe to the idea he's funneling money through the PAC back to Twitter to boost ad buy numbers.

  • Yeah I want to know specifically about say Ohio, Wisconsin, Arizona, etc. I know Harris will win all along the coasts. But that's only 175 of 270.

  • Fantastic choice. I keep forgetting that one.

  • Oh of course. I just know he does the alliteration thing for insulting others because he's dumb and his base is too. Which unfortunately makes it effective.

    So giving ole Diaper Don some alliterative handles is both too easy and fun. There are tons of options and I'm sure Dumbass Don would love to hear them all.

  • Dementia Don is my vote.

  • I'm seeing a lot of "wHat AbOuT A pRimArY" already from the usual bad actors.

  • Since Nixon

  • Quick reminder that Elon's dad is also a creep around women.

    Errol likely groomed his own stepdaughter. They now have 2 kids.

  • Squid is right. VB is a bOtH siDeS account trying to get people to not vote. You should check out their post history. Have had them tagged as a troll for a couple months.

  • But several listeners said they found the meeting overall to be of little value and even, at times, condescending...

    Yeah no shit. Harris bombed out of the 2020 run before Iowa because that's just who she is. Got 0 rizz. Biden should have talked Abrams into being VP 4 years ago.

  • Thanks for the heads up. Recently took mine out of storage. Setting up a game room now that my kids are old enough to trust them. Did an SSD upgrade the other day. Will look into the chip issue.

  • That model in the picture is one of them. I don't think all the fat PS3s could. But nearly all of them. Was why they were chonky.

  • Which is exactly what I'm getting at. She won the popular vote. By a lot. Dropped the ball in swing states. Lost the election because you win through the EC.

    A ticket popular on the coasts and only popular there is gambling with losing the EC again. AOC isn't nearly as popular as people here are suggesting. Harris will have tough odds to beat Trump.

    A Harris/AOC ticket isn't going to do well in swing states. It only plays well to states that are already solid blue.

  • The entire fucking point of the primary process is to pick the candidate more people said they'd vote for in the general.

    Ignoring the results of that process is what got us Hillary. Who the DNC also assumed would get the most votes. Just like you're making assumptions now without any supporting reasons other than opinion and hope.

  • -Arizona: Biden 44%, Bernie 33%

    -Wisconsin: Biden 63%, Bernie 32%

    -Michigan: Biden 53%, Bernie 36%

    -Georgia doesn't matter because Bernie dropped out by then but Biden still got 85%

    These are all states Harris needs to win again. Where is this mythical progressive vote going to be energized from? It had a chance to pick Bernie again in the 2020 primaries. And did not show up. It sucks cause I voted Bernie 2016 and 2020. But the reality is swing states are where the election is won. And swing states skew moderate.

  • Biden handily beat Bernie in swing states during 2020 primaries. It sucks because I wish we didn't have to worry about the EC. But we still do. So until it's gone we'll be stuck watching moderate candidates have the best path to winning.
