Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumCan we all at least agree about this?
Whomever wins the Democratic nomination, and, hopefully, the Presidency, needs to make undoing everything, and I mean everything from A-Z, that Dotard has done the past four years their first priority.
He was and will forever be illegitimate. For all intents and purposes, Vladimir Putin has be governing our nation since 2016. Therefore, NOTHING Dotard has done should be permitted to remain. NOTHING.
I don't know if Brett Kavanaugh can be removed from the SCOTUS, but an effort must be made to do so, especially if/when we win the Senate back. Nothing of Dotard's criminal legacy must be permitted to stain future generations.

(34 posts)There has to be something icky in Kavanaugh's past that hasn't come out.
I believe once he is exposed he will want to spend more time with his family.
This is my hope anyway.

(46,758 posts)That's not what moderates do. Look at how Obama handled the Iraq situation, giving GWBII and Cheney a full pass. He will come into office and say, it's time to bring the country together, and ignore the incredible injustice and imbalance. It's like giving them a full pardon and we will once again have a divided country, like never before. Those of us who have lived the recent past know that we will be ignored when our Democratic leaders take the easy route.
I have this to say about the primaries. If Warren is not on the ticket by the Florida primary, I will sit it out and let the Biden and Bernie supporters duke it out. Whoever comes out winning, I will cast my ballot for them in the General, and just retreat and watch what happens next.
Though I feel we do need a massive regulation from the industry that has too much control of our financial welfare, I am also concerned about Bernie. I wish he could avoid language that sets so many running in the opposite direction. If Bernie comes through it will be on the shoulders of his supporters that will also have to make up the majority of the votes for him in the General.
On the other hand, Trump's fuck-up on the coronavirus may finally be the tipping point. The office of the presidency requires someone who can treat Americans equally, and have the strength to say NO to cronies who come and ask for special treatment. Never is that truer when you're dealing with a virus that does not discriminate.
Just my thoughts.
