I'm all for the P or VP being the right person, regardless of gender...but why would a male P need to choose a female running mate?
You forgot a woman just got 3 million more votes than her opponent in a national election?
Guess what, we aslo voted for a black man, twice!
and to be honest in this election cycle I'm not necessarily interested in voting for the best Dem candidate. I'm interested in voting for the DEM candidate who has the best chance to beat Trump. I almost don't care about their policies this cycle. It's ONLY about getting this guy out of office ASAP. I'll deal with any policy consequences after the fact.It's a hopeless situation...0 -

Meghan drains intelligence and life out of me.
Biden sounds like an "all words" kind of guy. A lot of talk about fluffy stuff - "this is what America is all about, this is our spirit - to say thank you to one another like we did back when I grew up in the 17th century".
But I guess we'll see. Wonder if he's aware that America does a few things backwards compared to e.g. Europe, like Bernie does.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

And Sanders is also pro-gun.
And he does not play well with others. I think he would have a very difficult time dealing with Congress and compromising. And he would have the same allegiance to his base as Trump does, IMO. We don't need that again.
He would have a difficult time winning a general election because the same Republicans that would never vote for a woman would never vote for a Socialist. One is just seen as not capable of holding such an important office (I heard men, and women, say as much in interviews prior to 2016 - not just HRC, any woman) - and Socialist is a word that just sets off all kinds of red flags to them.
Not saying if is right, just saying that it exists.0 -

The guy has tremendous teeth.
I like that he's making the moral argument, not the policy one. Time for wonkishness later.0 -

What's the difference between "heal the country" and "make america great again". When was it ever great? When was it ever healed?Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Watched a little of The View interview so far, thought it was decent. He does have a good ability to connect on an emotional or personal level.
I wasn’t very inspired by the kickoff video or campaign rollout, but seeing Trump go on the defensive this morning over his Charlottesville comments is a good start.Detroit 2000, Detroit 2003 1-2, Grand Rapids VFC 2004, Philly 2005, Grand Rapids 2006, Detroit 2006, Cleveland 2006, Lollapalooza 2007, Detroit Eddie Solo 2011, Detroit 2014, Chicago 2016 1-2, Chicago 2018 1-2, Ohana Encore 2021 1-2, Chicago Eddie/Earthlings 2022 1-2, Nashville 2022, St. Louis 2022

Healing the country is wanting people to stop hating each other, to stop letting white supremacists think that they are 'good people', stop caging children and demeaning immigrants and brown people and scary religions and women who don't know their place, ya know, being a decent human being instead of racists angry POS's. I
Make America Great Again is a desperate cry by white people who see that they will no longer be the majority in the country shortly. It is anti immigrant (even though we are all immigrants), pro white power, racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti progressive ideas.
They are completely different and MAGA has caused the country to splinter in such a horrendous way that someone needs to heal this country or our democracy will fail.0 -

And America has always had problems, we are a new democracy and have struggled in being fair to all people. We are still not fair to all people. The atmosphere of the country in the Trump era is one of anger and corruption and acceptance of despicable behavior. That needs to stop and people need to be able to disagree without being disagreeable again. Then we can continue to make changes to make this country equal for all, which will take time, but has been stymied and set back.
America is a great country. It's not greatest country in the world, it's simply a great country. And it is based on an idea that this President wants to kill.0 -

Religion being the top answer makes 0 sense in regards to voting for Trump.
I know some people who only vote Republican because of their abortion stance. I also know some people who still think "the gays" go to hell.
I hold that religion is a top reason a self respecting woman might vote for him.
My opinion....could be that it is wrong.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -

It's amazing how the RR have stood behind Trump (who never held their beliefs until he decided to run as a Republican and probably really doesn't care about these issues except to get support) and when any transgression pops up they ignore it or say it was in the past, move along. Yet they demonize other people. Selective religious outrage. Ugh.0
