Title: Who should the Dems run for President in 2027? Post by Armchair_Politician on Jul 27th, 2025 at 8:29am
Looking ahead to the next Presidential election, who do you think the Democrats should run against whoever the Republicans put up when Trumps' term expires?
I'd like to see the Democrats put up Pete Buttigieg. He is young enough to connect with younger voters but old enough and experienced enough to also connect with older generations. He is well-respected on both sides of the aisle and has served as Transportation Secretary under Biden and also in the military as an officer in military intelligence. He is well spoken, articulate and does well voicing his argument clearly and concisely against those whose point of view differs without ever resorting to personal attacks, unlike some other people we know! My second choice would be Adam Schiff. He is very experienced and a great speaker, able to make a good argument for his cause or point of view. While older than Buttigieg, he's still young enough to connect with a large range of voter age groups. |

Pete is a great choice. Fantastic communicator and a good leader. Trump will need to keep doing what he's doing to destroy the country for the masses to accept a gay man, but Trump's going to do that anyway, so it might be time. |

I honestly believe the Dems royally screwed up by not convincing Biden to step down at the end of his first term and let someone else take the fight up with Trump - someone like Buttigieg. I'm sure there was a sense of loyalty and some sentimentality in that decision, but that was a bad mistake when the opponent was Trump - someone who is just brutal. It was clear to all at the end of his term that Biden wasn't up to it mentally or physically. Had they run Buttigieg, I think he'd have either wiped the floor with Trump or at least stopped the Republicans from winning both Houses and minimised the damage. |

We're assuming there's even going to be an election in 2028, hell, even midterms before then. That assumption is looking shakier by the day. We're in uncharted territory now. The Speaker of the House literally shut down the chamber to block a vote on Epstein disclosures, because it would've implicated Trump. Let that sink in. They're protecting a child trafficker's enabler from accountability by dismantling democratic process. The idea that we're still operating under normal rules and polite parliamentary decorum is laughable. That ship sailed years ago. What we're witnessing is the systematic erosion of every safeguard designed to prevent tyranny. And what about all those 2nd Amendment fetishists who've spent decades cosplaying as patriots, stockpiling weapons for the day the government turned tyrannical? This should be their moment, by their own logic. But they're silent. No, worse, they're cheering. Clapping like trained seals as the republic collapses in front of them. Turns out the "well-regulated militia" was just another grift. |

Yep, I've been saying all along that there's no guarantee of an election in 2028. Trump declares to the nation that he's staying on as President and cancels the election. Simple. Who will stop him, and how? The Constitution can't stop him - he doesn't obey the law. Moreover, SCOTUS says he doesn't need to obey the law. Does anybody really believe that the military will knock down the doors of the White House and carry Trump out by force? |

I saw an interview with this guy.
Gay black and very articulate. Offensive to the left because he supports Israel and critisised Biden over borders.

Title: Re: Who should the Dems run for President in 2027? Post by SerialBrain9 on Jul 27th, 2025 at 9:07pm
Seriously - you guys get together in a jerk circle ⭕️ and just believe any sort of Democrat bullshit that comes out of your mouths.
Let’s start with the easy stuff. Buttplug has Zero Black Voter Support Buttigieg polled at 0% - yes thats right, 0% ;D - among African American voters in 2020 primaries in South Carolina and Indiana. Critics, including Julián Castro, blasted his “bad track record with African Americans,” saying he’s toxic to a key Democratic base. Many people say that he’s “radioactive” with Black voters, a dealbreaker for a nominee. What a dam joke ::) Ok, lets keep going ::) Transportation Secretary Flops. His handling of the 2023 East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment was a disaster, with Democrats like Nina Turner and Republicans like JD Vance ripping him for a delayed visit and weak response. He admitted on CNN to screwing it up. Folks trash him for wasting $80 billion on DEI grants while air traffic control faltered, causing a 2023 FAA outage that grounded flights. Senator Tom Cotton sneered he “couldn’t organize a one-car funeral.” Rural broadband? $42 billion spent, zero households connected, per critics. Wtf 😳 “Wall Street Pete” and Elite Vibes Buttigieg’s 2020 campaign was dogged by “Wall Street Pete” protests for cozying up to billionaire donors. (All the homo’s) Bernie Sanders hammered his big-money ties, saying he’s in the pocket of elites. His Harvard-Oxford polish and McKinsey background scream “out-of-touch elitist” to working-class voters. Carpetbagger Accusations After moving to Michigan, Buttigieg was labeled a “carpetbagger” for eyeing a Senate run, with folks accusing him of using the state as a political stepping stone. His ambition is seen as naked opportunism, hopping from South Bend to D.C. to Michigan for clout. Paternity Leave Backlash Buttigieg caught flak for taking paternity leave in 2021 during a supply chain crisis, with conservatives like Tucker Carlson mocking him as AWOL. Folks claimed he was “mostly offline” for a month, shirking duties while ports clogged and shelves emptied. Homophobia Hurdle As the first openly gay candidate, Buttigieg faces raw homophobia. U.S. too “homophobic” for him to win swing states. In 2020, anti-abortion activist Randall Terry heckled him in Iowa as a “poster boy for homosexuals,” and some Democrats fear his identity could tank turnout among socially conservative voters. No one likes a POO JABBER Biden’s Baggage Tied to the unpopular Biden administration, Buttigieg is seen as damaged goods post-2024 loss. Folks argue his loyalty to Biden, calling him a “consequential president,” chains him to a sinking ship, alienating voters craving an outsider. Debate Aggression Backfired In 2020 debates, Buttigieg’s sharp attacks on Bernie Sanders and Amy Klobuchar were seen as petty, alienating their supporters. Critics say he’s more about zingers than substance, burning bridges within the party. South Bend Scandals Beyond race issues, Buttigieg’s South Bend record includes low minority contracting in city projects, fueling accusations of systemic bias. His “smart streets” initiative was criticised as gentrification, prioritising downtown over struggling neighbourhoods. What a loser ::) |

NewScum
California’s a Mess Under His Watch Newsom’s governorship is slammed as a disaster, with California’s problems weaponized as proof he’d tank the country. Homelessness hit a record high in 2024, with encampments clogging cities despite Newsom’s $24 billion spent on the issue. Folks call him “the worst thing that ever happened to California,” blaming him for prolonged COVID lockdowns (2020-2023) that crushed businesses and lives. Crime’s another sore spot—smash-and-grab robberies and a 2023 crime rate spike compared to national trends give ammo to critics who say he’s soft on law enforcement. John Cox’s book The Newsom Nightmare paints California as a “poster child for government dysfunction,” with a budget ballooning from $100 billion in 2010 to over $300 billion by 2023 despite flat population growth. Hypocrisy and Elitism Newscum caught flak for flouting his own rules. In 2020, he dined maskless at the French Laundry, a ritzy restaurant, while preaching strict COVID restrictions to Californians. Folks call him a “hypocrite,” pointing to this and his kids attending private school during public school closures. His San Francisco elite background—wine mogul, Getty family ties—fuels perceptions he’s out of touch with regular people. Critics brand him a “sociopathic liar” who plays reasonable while dodging accountability for California’s woes. Low Approval and Voter Rejection NewScums approval ratings are in the gutter. A 2025 Emerson College poll showed 59% of Californians don’t want him running for president in 2028, with 78% of Republicans and 75% of independents opposed. His overall approval was a dismal 33%, with 42% disapproving. A 2023 Quinnipiac poll found 70% of California voters, including 54% of Democrats, against a 2024 run. Critics argue he’s “too Californian,” tied to a liberal caricature that alienates swing states like the Rust Belt. Budget Disasters and Economic Mismanagement California’s $22.5 billion budget deficit in 2023 and a projected $73 billion shortfall in 2024 are pinned on Newsom’s reckless spending. Critics, including Republican Matt Shupe, say he’s mismanaged the state into a fiscal hole, with high taxes and regulations driving businesses and residents out—California lost population four years running through 2023. Critics mock his handling of a $300 billion budget, claiming he’d bankrupt the nation. His push for a $16 billion water tunnel project sparked outrage from local communities, seen as a boondoggle for special interests. San Francisco Stigma NewScums San Francisco roots are a massive liability. Critics, like Matt Shupe, say the U.S. won’t elect another Bay Area liberal after Kamala Harris’s 2024 loss. His tenure as mayor (2004-2011) is ridiculed for failing to curb homelessness—his 10-year plan to end it flopped, with encampments worse than ever. GOP operatives would plaster campaign ads with images of San Francisco’s “squalid” streets, warning Newsom would turn America into California’s dystopia. Progressive Policies Scare Moderates NewScums left-leaning record—moratorium on the death penalty, phasing out gas-powered cars by 2035, and sanctuary state policies—makes him radioactive to moderate and conservative voters. His push for a constitutional amendment on gun control and healthcare limits for undocumented immigrants alienated even some Democrats. Recall Election Baggage NewScum barely survived a 2021 recall election, with 38% voting to oust him. Critics, including recall organizer Randy Economy, argue this shows even Californians distrust him. Critics claim the election was “rigged,” and his 2022 re-election (59% margin) doesn’t erase the stench of voter discontent. His opposition to a 2024 tough-on-crime measure, which voters passed overwhelmingly, further paints him as out of step. National Profile Stunts Backfire NewScum’s attempts to go national—debating Ron DeSantis on Fox News, running ads in red states, launching a $10 million PAC—look like naked ambition. Critics call his 2028 campaign obvious, accusing him of downplaying California’s failures while posturing as a Trump foe. His podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” featuring MAGA figures like Steve Bannon, is slammed as a cynical rebrand to seem centrist, fooling no one. Personal Scandals NewScum’s personal life is fodder for critics. His 2007 affair with his campaign manager’s wife while San Francisco mayor dogged his early career. The Newsom Nightmare dredge it up, painting him as untrustworthy. Allegations of allowing illegal child labor on a marijuana farm (linked to his business interests) and blocking out-of-state fire agencies over emissions standards fuel “corrupt” and “hypocrite” charges. |

In his desperation to distract from the fact that he's plastered all over the Epstein files, closely linked to a well-known child predator in ways that could sink him completely, he posted it thinking it was some kind of win. A close second? The honeymoon's over. Trump now thinks JD's gunning for him. And honestly, he should be worried.

The Corporate democrats (Republican Democrats) would vote for a Republican before a progressive. AOC and Crocket are the best options but both Progressives. The shame is that a Progressive leader is by far the least corrupt option. Republicans and the Corporate dems both share the same level of corruption with the same corporate groups for the same reasons. |

The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of frontrunners for the 2028 Democratic nomination:
Hunter Biden: The perfect heir to the family legacy, only with more F-words and crack. Kilmar Abrego Garcia: Few candidates have been able to build as much support among the Democratic base as this wife-beating illegal immigrant. That one bronze statue of the sassy black woman from Times Square: Still smarter than Kamala Harris Angel Reese: The party could use someone with her track record of beating popular white people. Volodymyr Zelenskyy: He has valuable experience in running a country and costing American taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. Luigi Mangione: Insiders say he would be a killer candidate. Stephen Colbert: Word has it his schedule is wide open. Elmo: The party has a strong history of success when it comes to nominating puppets for president. Joe Biden's Autopen: It ran the country before, and it can do it again. The Republicans could be in big trouble against that all-star lineup. Who else could make a run for the Democratic nomination? Add your suggestions in the comments. |

The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of things that, believe it or not, are more popular than Democrats:
Kidney stones: Painful, yes, but have you ever watched an 8-hour Hakeem Jeffries speech? Digital pagers from Israel: 9 out of 10 Americans would rather wear one than be associated with Democrats. British food: Who doesn't love a good pie with a fish head sticking out of it? Diddy parties: The popularity of these has followed a similar trajectory to the Democratic Party. WNBA season tickets: They supposedly have at least some monetary value. Bluesky: There are reportedly dozens and dozens of devoted users. That one scene from Season 3 Episode 4 of The Mandalorian where Baby Yoda jumps around while battling a youngling Mandalorian, and it looks like someone just threw a stuffed animal through the air: Pathetic. Jehovah's Witnesses on your front porch: They may be annoying, but they're far less dangerous than Democrats. Jeffrey Dahmer: More people should be as apolitical as cannibalistic serial killers. Republicans: But only by a little bit. |

Kamala Announces She Will Step Away From Politics To Spend More Time With Vodka SACRAMENTO — Former Vice President Kamala Harris officially announced today that she would be stepping away from politics in order to spend more quality time with vodka. Harris stated that in the wake of her defeat in the 2024 election, she spent time evaluating what her priorities were at this stage in life and discovered that it was vodka. "I'm looking forward to finally being at home with vodka," said Harris. "See vodka, it's like a drink. It comes in a bottle, and you pour it into a glass, and then you drink it. Sometimes people say, 'Stop! That's too much vodka.' Haha! Then, you wake up. And that's basically vodka." According to former aides, Harris tried to spend as much time with vodka as possible during her time in national politics, but work too often got in the way. "It's been hard on her, spending so many nights away from vodka," said longtime aide Ashley Morton. "You could tell she just no longer had the hunger for politics... just the thirst for vodka. I'm happy for her." |

Indeed. He's very confused. Harris didn't run for President in the general election in 2020 - she only ran for the Democratic nomination for that year (and she pulled out of that early due to a lack of funding). She's only been a candidate for President in a general election once, and that was in 2024. |

Democrats Announce 2028 Campaign Slogan: 'We Hate Capitalism, Hot Chicks, And The Jews'
U.S. — As preparations geared up for the 2028 presidential election, the Democratic Party unveiled its new campaign slogan of "We Hate Capitalism, Hot Chicks, and the Jews." The party expressed belief that the new slogan would convey a clear message about the party's values while broadening its appeal to new groups of potential voters. "We were looking for a slogan that would communicate our agenda of abolishing capitalism, Jewish people, and objectively attractive women," one Democrat source said. "This new slogan couldn't be more perfect." Party leaders reportedly scrapped other suggestions to return their platform and slogan to a more patriotic, America-loving tone in favor of embracing messaging that more accurately captured the hatred of economic success, Jews, and natural beauty. "Beautiful women and Jews, much like capitalism, cannot be the future of this country," said Senator Bernie Sanders, who was given input to keep him from running again. "Personally, I'm for Justin Trudeau, but they tell me he's not qualified or something because he's 'Canadian.' Whatever that means." Insiders said that creating a broad platform based on hating money, hot chicks, and Jews would be the key to building a strong coalition of voters for the next election cycle. "It's a perfect mixture of the people who vote for us," said one Democrat. "Once we find the right candidate who embodies all of those things, we'll have the election wrapped up." At publishing time, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg reportedly had an early advantage to land the party's nomination due to finding attractive women "icky." |

Two unsuccessful runs for prez, one abysmal vice presidency- there had to be zero bok in it.
Top 10 Quotes From Kamala's New Book Former Vice President Kamala Harris has written a new book about her brief presidential campaign called 107 Days, and The Babylon Bee has obtained an advance copy. The book won't be released until next month, but here are some of the most fascinating quotes: 1. "A prologue is like an introduction. So, here's my introduction. And this is my book. A book written by me. I am me. The writer of the book." 2. "My publisher said this book should be 100,000 words, which is very, very, very, very [...] very, very, very many words." 3. "This is a chapter. And in this chapter, there will be several pages. Each page contains many words. And the words are the meaning of the chapter." 4. "I was accused of covering up Joe Biden's severe dementia. This is false. During his entire term, he always seemed just as sharp and intelligent as I was." 5. "Of all the great political minds throughout history, the genius whose philosophy I admire most has to be Megan Thee Stallion." 6. "A Moscow Mule is three parts ginger beer, one part lime juice, and the rest is vodka. If you don't taste the vodka, you're doing it wrong." 7. "That was the day that I found out I've been pronouncing my first name wrong this whole time." 8. "It is my fervent hope and wish that my story can prove an inspiration for young black girls across this country whose dream it is to attain wealth, fame, and status through no achievement of their own. It can be done, girls!" 9. "Am I right? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" 10. "So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. I wrote this." Sad Teapot musta been the ghost writer. Quotes 1-4 are dead give-aways. No. 2 especially. And 9. Tsk, tsk ::) ::) |
