Exactly my concern as well. I think y'all make great points that VP has never really mattered, but Harris doesn't appeal to me or anybody I know (for what little is that worth) yet it still feels inevitable that she is going to get forced into that nomination based on some kind of seniority.

I'm not concerned about her drag on the party in 2024. Or as a presumptive nominee in 2028. I do believe Joe will give her more & better opportunities in 2nd term (he has to right?). I am concerned about her replacing Joe if needed during the 2nd term. I don't know what the odds are but it's fair to say the odds are greater with Joe-Kamala than pretty much any other combo. |

The school campus stuff is so lame to me. Trying to rile up 19 year olds on a college campus. Same with them targeting kids on health issues.

It reminds me of the church that protests soldier's funerals with there "God hates fags" signs. There are a bunch of people on Tik Tok and Youtube that do stuff like that. They are not trying to make some grand point (though they'll claim they proving the rights), but are just trying to annoy people to get their reaction on camera. They are just hoping someone will actually take a swing so they can sue them. |

I will say that I do love to see that every political journo/paper/podcast/website in DC is apparently currently doing a deep dive into every justice's finances. Let those rats feel & fear the spotlight.

The Senate has oversight and is the checks and balance on the Supreme Court. But Durbin is just shrugging his shoulders pretending you can't do anything.
It's astounding too since new polls have shown the public is very much against Thomas and SCOTUS at the moment. Democrats love ineffective politicians. |

Jesus Christ.
The GOP is horrified of the next generation of voters. It really is staggering. They also REALLY don't understand a very basic concept of dealing with kids is if you tell them they can't do something, or try to keep them from doing something, they will only want to do it more. Just look at Wisconsin. |

A large portion of the gop believes they lost Gen z because of brainwashing in our education system rather than their horribly unpopular policies. So their plan is to limit youth voting and impact until they can try to brainwash their own generation.

This is just sad stuff. It used to be that elections would keep the parties accountable and, if they got too far to the left or right and the policies didn't work, they would have to move back towards the center in order to win elections. Now, rather than the right acknowledging that their policies don't always work, they just try to make it harder to vote.

And the meatgrinder just keeps rolling on. Our political system has definitely proven the "too big to fail" nature of the 2-party system. It no longer matters who is the nominee - there is no bottom. Everything falls in line as if it's all just perfectly normal politics as usual.

And most of them are going to react to Trump trying to get them to watch CNN like they did when he suggested they get vaccinated.

It looks like No Fault Divorce is in the GOP crosshairs now. Because, ya know, abusive guys should be able to keep their women in place whether she likes it or not.

You should read up on some of the stories before no-fault divorce came into play. It was quite crazy. Also the female suicide rate dropped 20% after it was implemented.

It seems less helpful to think of being a Republican meaning having a set of political beliefs and more helpful to think of it as an identity. |

Appearantly in the Carroll vs Trump Rape case, the defense is not going to call any witnesses and Trump himself is out of the country in Ireland and Scotland visiting his golf courses.

Right, has more to do with the fact that they see EVs as a progressive issue and will just bite their finger off out of spite.

They expect the case to go to the jury by lunch-time tomorrow. Either Trump's team feels they did enough in cross examination that they do not need a defense, or they feel they have enough to get any judgement overturned on appeal. My guess is the former. Or maybe a third thing that they expect a summary judgement before it even goes to the jury.

Except in Georgia. Kemp and his gang are completely betting on EV, with three major plants, two battery factories, and a large EV recycling center all being built and getting heavy state subsidies.

They want the jobs, but all will turn their noses at EVs because progressives. They do not equate the success of EVs with an increase in jobs and industry. I also saw a ton of "No Rivian" signs when I was driving through central/south GA.

I'm going crazy with all of the MAGA GOP primary ads here in KY. We do elections on the odd off-years, and primaries are in about 2 weeks, so we're getting 3-4 every commercial break. The worst/funniest are the ones for specific state positions other than governor. You've got the MAGA agriculture secretary candidate who is running against taxing cow farts (including an actual fart noise) and banning meat, and the treasurer whose main selling point is "tough on illegals" - because illegals are stealing so much of our tax money that the GOP is *checks notes* cutting the state income tax every year, with a plan to eventually zero it out. Because, you know, we have all of that coast line and tens of millions of tourists to pay for our infrastructure here...

Definitely Trump-like. Where did all the money go that was supposed to be for investigating election fraud?

Does the GOP really not grasp their biggest issue is candidate quality? When they trot out someone halfway normal (younkin, Vance) they win.

I still think Tim Ryan ran a pretty horrible campaign. He tried to distance himself from Democrats (and Vance didn't let voters forget that Ryan was a Democrat). He also threw footballs at TVs for some reason.
