    Except the Dems convention hasn’t happened yet and there’s still plenty of time to hire Batman a great butler who’s still capable…

    Joker only has a chance if we run Alfred and he loses. We don’t have to run Alfred.

    So if you want to do everything you can to stop Joker, Alfred needs to step aside and endorse his replacement

      Who is that going to be though? There’s no one. Traditionally it might be the current VP, but everyone hates Kamala because she’s shit. There is no one else, it’s Biden or my dumb ass cat, at least my cat will get the ‘cute and doesn’t shit in the plants’ vote. Unbelievably my cat would still lose to a rapist and felon.

        Who is that going to be though?

        I used to type a lot for these, but they constantly come up.

        So at this point: AOC

            That’s what they said about Obama too…

            But the first Black president got elected by flipping lots of red states even when his own party turned against him.

              As already pointed out she’s not eligible, or maybe is, idk. She would be 35 by inauguration.

              My ticket would be her, Bernie, and Ron Wyden somewhere in the mix so the u.s. could get some decent privacy laws.

                She literally is…

                Like, it’s not an opinion thing, she’s literally old enough to be our next president…

                    be at least 35 years old

                    Right…

                    https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artII-S1-C5-1/ALDE_00013692/

                    No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

                    You have to be 35 to be president…

                    AOC will be 35 before the next president assumes office…

          People have been bringing her up for years, but she is still not eligible. The president must be 35.

          She is shit because she was given the platform of VP with the sole job of developing name recognition as the next candidate, yet many of us have a worse opinion of her than we started with

          I know VPs should generally be silently partners but this is the one time we needed one who succeeded at any initiative

            Why do people keep linking data for progress after last election?

            Their founder openly said the point of his company was to come up with polls that make donors happy.

            Then he got caught trying to use his polls to influence elections so his bets would win, and was trying to get employees involved in an illegal straw do or scheme.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_for_Progress

            Seriously, because no one will answer after posting that poll:

            Why would anyone use them for a source still?

            Is it just one of the few things that make Biden seem like a good choice?

              Seriously, because no one will answer after posting that poll:

              Here’s me not answering:

              Why would anyone use them for a source still?

              Because I had never read that Wikipedia link.

              Is it just one of the few things that make Biden seem like a good choice?

              Nope. Biden is a bad choice, but he is likely to be the only choice regardless and if he is, he should be voted for because the other option is a dictatorship and a genocide of queer people.

                See?

                We opened a dialog and you realized the source your using is wildly unreliable and we shouldn’t care what they say.

                We got there thru civility and logic.

                Everyone wins.

                but he is likely to be the only choice

                He doesn’t have to be. Biden is the only choice the people he appointed to lead the DNC will let us have.

                The party is a private organization and can do anything they want including disregarding an entire primary. The DNC literally argued this in court less than a decade ago, and the judge agreed.

                You can say that the DNC won’t replace Biden because they’d rather risk trump than lose control of the party.

                But you can’t just lie and say there’s nothing that can be done.

                  I was really amused how you banned me from A Boring Dystopia for “incivility” after I asked you yes or no questions and you called me a bully. It’s too bad it’s a permanent ban or I’d ask you to undo it and do it again tomorrow. I could use all the laughs I can get right now.

                  You very silly person.

          She was involved in the slave trade known as the “justice system” and proud of it. She’s one of them.

        Thereby currently no one because the DNC has forbidden all the ones. There’s at least a dozen Democrats who could jump in tomorrow and have better chances than Biden by the week after next.

        everyone hates Kamala because she’s shit.

        Not as much as they hate Biden now. Whether on purpose or not, they’ve been wise to mostly keep her in the shadows so everyone could forget how awful and fake she is and also to lessen the Biden stink on her.

        it’s Biden or my dumb ass cat

        I’d vote for your cat over Biden or the Mango Mussolini in a heartbeat. Not even joking.

        My dumb cat would work. As long as they don’t have a sex scandal and has some decent legislative record, they’d be fine.
