Why doesn’t it ever stop
It’s not just in the politics subs now, it’s everywhere
Please, won’t someone make it stop
Welcome to Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride, it never ends!
I want to get off Mr. John Adultman’s repeated explanations of why Biden needs to step down
You can try to ignore politics all you want but it’ll fuck up your life anyway.
Not everyone lives in the USA you donkey. Your circus is EVERYWHERE and it’s driving me insane. It’s literally all you can talk about.
I don’t live in the US and I’m as fed up with the whole shitshow as you are. But US politics unfortunately influences the entire world and if Trump gets elected everybody will suffer, no matter where they live.
Just keep your head in the sand bruh. Its where you’ve been this whole time.
Hey! It’s the guy with nothing worth saying. That still manages to say it too loud.
If you follow me, I’ve called this entire mess, its causes and its resolutions, 9 months out.
And I’ve pretty much been entirely correct, except that I called that Biden would drop out about 2 weeks earlier than he did.
In fact I have bets going back as far as December/ January that I’ll be able to collect on.
You can have a world view that predicts future states of reality, or can have whatever anti-scientific, reality denying mess Blue-MAGA has wrapped themselves up in.
The choice is yours.
As long as you believed it that makes one person. No on else does. No one has to follow you. We’ve seen you immaturely spamming/trolling, unable to articulate actual solutions. All over the place. You aren’t collecting on anyone. But I comend you on your vivid imagination.
Its all here my dude. Documented for all to see. As is the gaslighting, lying, cult-like behavior that you’ve been engaged in.
I won. History is and will be on my side.
It’s cute you think so. If only believing made it so.
Bernie?
How about we appreciate the work he’s done but get some actual you get folks who aren’t boomers in charge. His time has unfortunately passed for the highest office but he can be hugely effective in an important cabinet position.
Shutup Feinstein
lol, no you. Feinstein was too old as well. There should be an age restriction on both ends for government jobs.
I’ve been saying that for over ten years now, but the time has passed for him. Doesn’t he have a younger protege that we can start pushing?
I think it’s AOC, but conservatives have a disdain for her that I worry would be Hillary part 2.
I expect to see big things from her in the next 10 years.
If she drops some of her extreme positions, calms down a bit and moves further to the center, she’ll have a real shot at the candidacy by the time she’s 75.
I voted for him in the 2020 primary, but if were pushing Biden out because he’s too old then the same certainly applies to Bernie. Even if he’s more coherent and effective now, how will he be in four years?
AOC turns 35 right before the election, she’s eligible. I think she’d be incredible. She knows how to energize people
I really wish she wasn’t constantly referred to by an acronym, it makes her sound like a super PAC or some other soulless organization instead of an actual person. Pedantic I know, but as someone only vaguely familiar with her, it’s the first thing I think of when I hear about her.
What about MLK, LBJ, JFK, RFK, etc? Lots of people get “initialized”
Milky, Leblanc jayce, Jesus fucking Krist, no idea.
I prefer names tbh. I’m not american tho.
The obvious answer is “whom ever the corporate lobbyist says should take over.”
I should’ve answered that. But, I picked Harris even though I wanted Whitmer.
Danny DeVito
Good choice, but he’s contracted to play the next Wolverine.
I want to get off mr bones wild ride
None of the above, although Michelle would rock it - but she’s said she’s not interested, and having watched her husband do the job for 8 years, that’s probably a hard “nope.”
Harris will lose the race. She’ll be a popular punching bag for conservatives, and she’s polling even lower than Biden.
My favorites aren’t on there. Where’s Cory Booker? Where’s Amy Klobuchar? Where’s Andrew Yang? Where’s Buttigieg, or Warren?
Yang, Buttigieg, and Warren would lose, for different reasons. Klobuchar or Booker would stand a chance, i think. But of all of these “pre-vetted” options, I guess Whitmer’s in a strong position.
But not Harris. It’ll be her, of course, if he does step back, but they’ll crucify her. It’ll be Clinton all over again, only she’s starting even less popular than Hillary was. I don’t think conservatives have quite the visceral hatred for her that they seem to have foot Hillary, and she’s less prone to sticking her foot in her mouth, but nobody likes her, either. At least Hillary appealed to progressive women.
At least Hillary appealed to progressive women.
As a progressive woman, this is news to me.
Harris is the least disruptive choice. I want a socialist, but that ain’t happening.

I honestly don’t fully understand the Kamala hate. I know she was a prosecutor, but I don’t remember having a strong negative opinion of her in 2020.
Where’s Andrew Yang?
#YangGang is a glimpse into the reality of the Democratic Party’s Asian American problem. (this isn’t the appropriate venue to actually discuss those issues; a quick Google search will quite contemporary results showing the trend).
Yang has moved on and created the “Forward Party” which is working to gain ballot access at the local level in a handful of States.
Thanks! I know Yang’s active, but I wasn’t aware he was that active. I hope he gets traction; it’s a steep, nearly impossible hill for third parties.
You might want to look at who his allies are and what his current policies are compared to what he claimed they were.
That’s good advice. Is there something in particular you think I should look out for?
I mostly go by stated planks and policies, and I admit I have assumed they haven’t changed much; when I do see news about him, nothing much seems to have changed.
OK. I’m sorry. That video is over an hour long, and even skipping forward through the toilet humor puppet parts, I found it hard to watch.
But I did watch far enough to grab this screenshot
which is the Forward Party’s planks. I take it you object to some of them? The YouTuber obviously did. I sat through his mocking the idea that the government should make policy on divisive issues based on facts (science) and, failing that, listening to the citizens and letting popular opinion decide policy. I dropped out before hearing his opinion on human-centered capitalism, although I could almost smell the laissez-faire economics through the screen, so I’m guessing he was equally dismissive of that.
If he mocked (and, could he not have?) the “Effective and Modern-Day Government,” well, I can’t blame him, because I don’t know WTF that means, either.
But, oh, if that guy’s a libertarian, and I’ve got a buck that says he is, then I’ll bet UBI really got him worked up. Although, I’d like to hear his solution for when ML eliminates white collar jobs, including his.
“Grace and Tolerance” are just being good people. It’s sad it has too be included as a plank, but considering that one party is objectively and openly opposed to any form of grace or tolerance (except tolerance of intolerance - Nazis deserve to be in government, too!), it’s not absurd that the Forward Party included it. It’s a sort of “Do no evil” company motto that served well, until accountants took over.
I got about a third of the way through before I bailed. Not my kind of humor, and I think from my brief exposure, I think I’d really dislike that guy as a person. He looks like someone I’d end up punching because he’s pushing his girlfriend around outside of a club.
Lol, incredible. Cody Johnston is for sure a libertarian, you have demonstrated incredible insight and intellectual rigor.
I think you’re exactly the kind of voter the Forward Party is looking for!
Someone who wants to know what they actually stand for, but, not, like, by doing something that would take more than 15 minutes.
Please don’t take Josh Shapiro. I don’t have faith in my fellow Pennsylvanians not to elect a Republican.
I don’t know much about him
We probably aren’t lucky enough to get three in a row.
Also, he reminds me of David Rosen from Scandal, and it already feels too much like we’re living in that dystopia.
I’d prefer the Scandal dystopia to this. At least the main characters would be better looking.
No Pete Buttigieg? Probably just as corporate as the other ones, but seems like he’d make a semi-decent pick.

Michelle Obama would honestly just win by default, but I’d probably pick Whitmer realistically.
I got another message. This one I picked Whitmer.
Probably Harris because Michelle said no and newsome is an easy target.
Bernie sanders with AOC as his VP pick
Biden is too old but you want to pick Bernie? I love the guy and donated to his campaigns, but he is not the Biden replacement.
Old yes but still on his game, which is all that matters
Yes, but also no. The whole point of switching from Biden is to disarm the “too old attack.”
elizabeth warren
Unless they run another primary, Kamala is the best choice IMHO. Already tied to the Biden ticket, so it would feel less like the DNC is hand-picking whoever they want as a candidate. She polls well. Can get creative with the VP.
There was a poll a few weeks back that showed Michelle Obama being the most popular pick; take that with a grain of salt because we all know how biased and skewed those poll results are based on a number of factors which we can’t know.
That said, I think she did a lot of great work as First Lady and I’d happily vote for her. I think she’s got the potential to get people fired up and excited about the possibilities, much like Obama did, and everything else aside, that’s what we really need - excitement, enthusiasm, and for people to want to get out there and vote. I think she could provide that moreso than anyone else on the list.
Has she expressed an interest?
afaik she’s expressed a disinterest
