So in the election between one dude who is clearly Christian and one dude who is clearly faking it, you’re going with the latter?

Exit plan: 1. Say you’re exiting. 2. Other people do hard stuff. 3. Plan over.

PMed you. We’ve gotta settle up on these convention bets:
No because almost half the eligible voting population sits out elections and a lot good chunk of people who do end up voting are holding their noses.
My wife and I were talking about this and I brought it up here before but havent seen anything compelling to the contrary.
Why can every other democracy on earth spin up a candidate in less than a month but we cant? What is so different about us that we NEED 3 months minimum to campaign?

Apologies, just PMd you
It’s the money in US politics. The process of moving around the billions of dollars involved requires a process of months and years.

Back to the immigration discussion for a moment: one thing that would help is to stop calling them “illegals.”
People aren’t illegal. All that is accomplished by calling them that is to dehumanize them. What they did was illegal on paper, but what they did was not wrong. They are human beings who want to try to start a better life and you know what? They are 100x braver than 99.9% of us.
The only difference between an undocumented immigrant and me is where we were born.

I am certain she understands that, but she is (justifiably) in panic mode. AOC fights for human rights for constituencies that desperately need to win this election. I didn’t watch the video (again, one hour is a nope for me) but I read a summary of it and she is clearly very frustrated by the eDem types that are working hard on their careers at a moment where democracy and human rights are at risk. I think that is very understandable but it has her coming down on the wrong side of the issue. Just because the eDems are are pushing out Joe for dubious reasons (to kowtow to the donor class, to fight for power in the resultant power vacuum, to better position themselves for political success in the futre) doesn’t mean that Joe shouldn’t be pushed out.

I think the only people who call them “illegals” do so because it dehumanizes them, not in spite of it.

Trump is most likely going to win anyway and no one knows which path for the Dems is best. No one is more being more ridiculous than the people just going on like there is no doubt that whatever they favor between replace or not replace is the better way.
