USA 2024 presidential election

Lake is an absolute head case, I can't see any moderate voter swinging her way at all. Feel the Dems will look to bury Sinema, and tie her obstruction to the Republican policies.

DeSantis always needed a miracle to win this considering how strong the fanatism of MAGA is and his obvious lack of charisma but this is somewhat better from him and that's not saying much.

His initial strategy I suspect was to peel of 10-15% of MAGA and hope the rest of the GOP who are not as devoted would flock to him, but because he has ran so far to the right that has alienated voters who were keen to move on from Trump and he has picked up no MAGA voters either so worst of both worlds.

If I were advising , I would tell him he needs to consolidate the non trump element of the base and not try to outmaga Trump, that strategy will likely end in failure, but it can't be any worse than whatever the hell he was doing last few months.

That describes it well. Apprently De Santis is now officially a member of that rapidly broadening category, the RINOs. We're really getting a vibe of a cult in the process of devolving where every member who has evinced even the tiniest whiff of disloyalty in action or word is declared infidel or heretic. The disloyal member, the traitor or perceived traitor is always pursued with an animus far more bitter than the declared enemy and as the cult grows ever more fanatical the criteria for disloyalty correspondingly broaden. I'm reminded of IS and Mao's China.

Williamson for all her flaws is a genuine leftist and running for sincere reasons. If you are left leaning and want to vote but find Biden to much I would suggest her in the primary or West (not that one!) for the Green party.

Yeah, he's a rapist

Ate you saying no kids were killed under Trump?

As for his promise to end the war in Ukraine, how do you think he can do that?

I wouldn't believe a word he says, he promised to stop drone strikes, under his command drone strikes increased so much that he stopped the reporting of them.

RFK's family have come out and publicly disassociated themselves from some of his comments, as they were offensive anti-semitic dog whistling. That's "freedom of speech" to some people.

She said: “My feelings about my brother Bobby’s recent statement regarding Covid and ethnic targeting are very much aligned with my brother Joe, sister Kerry, and nephew Joe III – all of whom I admire for speaking out against him. There is a great deal of hate in the world and remarks like Bobby’s only serve to fuel that hate. Such conspiracy mongering not only creates more divisiveness, it actually puts people’s lives in danger.”

Bi partisan approval of carpet bombing, well any bombing in the United States. You don't hear much about that.
