I dont think she can win, but by all means send her some money. I think ANY woman that wins the Dem primary will guarantee a Rep POTUS in 28. So many folks are not ready to admit that is what happened with Trump but you will never convince me otherwise.

Like it or not, America has been the stabilizing force behind much of the modern world for decades.

I think you meant 'destabilizing' in that sentence. We get involved where we arent wanted (needed or not) and bring a lot of hate our way. We assume people want to be saved and cant mind our own f**king business.

Now do the GOP because in my lifetime they have left the government in a worse position each time they leave office. Hand them a golden goose and they will slaughter it.

Donner can answer for himself but I have been in such situations at the bay area in Cali. They have shower things right on the beach or in small huts we tend to see only for restrooms in Idaho. They are in most places you would want to get the sand off before hitting the car and I have seen teenagers in various states of undress. In densely populated liberal places nudity is not usually made out to be sexual.

BTW would you say Pete Aguilar is a good candidate for POTUS?

#23 | Posted by jpw

He is certainly a "good candidate" for the primary. I wont discount anyone before they begin. I don't know a bunch of his accomplishments because he is not in my family's area of Cali, and hasnt been dragged through the media, but have heard decent things. You must like him to bring him up?

If the deal is not better than the one Obama had in place and Trump destroyed how can you call it a win? Trump supporters would literally cut off their nose to spite their face the first time trump asked them to.

I absolutely do not lower my expectations because she is a woman, and AOC is too liberal for my taste. However, there have been MANY men in the primary with less experience than she currently has and so I will not discredit her simply for that.

I don't care if she runs, her experience in government is sufficient whether you whine about her accomplishments or not. I would rather see her in the Senate as I don't think ANY woman has a chance of becoming POTUS yet, we just aren't there with the boomers. Both Hilary and Kamala had more of a record to run on and they still couldn't beat Trump, who shouldn't have even stood a chance after the mess of his first term.

He raced on May 17 and now he's dead? - #9 | Posted by snoofy

Something I saw yesterday, and I dont recall where, said he had raced with a sinus infection and the high speed with the sinus infection caused a secondary issue. He was found unresponsive in a driving simulator and rushed to the hospital on the 20th if I recall. Terribly sad situation.

This a thousand times, and not count on absentee ballots! They are looking for ways to eliminate your voice.

Well ya see BillJohnson believes that when a state like California automatically mails out ballots to every eligible voter it is "mass mailed out ballots" and provides the Dems an unfair advantage, since making it easier to vote means more people actually vote. He also believes that a spouse may complete their significant others ballot, along with their own, and turn them in but it wouldn't be detectable because he couldn't prove what happened in someone else's home. I am sure he is still afraid of the boogieman under his bed as well.

Guaranteed, both parties won't want that.

I would vote for that. Dems are the only party that has put anything forward to ban gerrymandering so if the GOP wants to get on board I am sure it could be done.

Those arent reasons Jeff. It is nice of you to run up the numbers on several threads lately though...

"I5 is my opinion that Harris would have been absolutely horrible." #34 | Posted by BellRinger

An opinion with no reasoning or basis in reality is worth less that the sh** on the bottom of your shoe.

What did Kamala do that's worse than raping kids?

Be a democrat.

And a black woman, but maybe black mattered less than woman when you recall Hillary.

She absolutely would have been worse.

#21 | Posted by BellRinger

You are lying to yourself and us. Trump has turned out to be everything we thought he would be and more. Kamala would have been held in check by a GOP congress whereas Trump is completely unrestrained. Nobody takes you seriously here.

So I cover for him every chance I get until I cant. Posted by BellRinger

Fixed it for you ^_^ Have a nice day!

#26 | Posted by BellRinger

I said "every chance you get", you have no choice but to acknowledge the things you cant blame on Biden. I wont debate you, you and everyone else here knows your posting history. If you can point at Biden or Obama instead of Trump you do it every single time.

#23 | Posted by BellRinger

There is plenty to criticize, just be real about it. You cover for Trump every chance you get.

" I haven't seen prices this high since Biden's term when inflation skyrocketed."

I believe you mean "since COVID when inflation skyrocketed." and if your boy had done more to prevent the spread there would have been fewer deaths and in all likelihood a reduced affect on inflation.

"I don't think it's out of bounds to have the position that only US Citizens should be voting in our elections."

This is still not even solved with voter ID since our drivers license or state ID do not designate US Citizenship on them. Also voter eligibility is already verified at the registration level, not at the voting location. I already show my drivers license and sign beside my name on their list when I receive my ballot at the voting location. Then I go vote, slip my ballot in a blank cover, and then in a wooden box with a cutout in it. Having to bring my birth certificate, marriage license, in some cases divorce decree, another marriage license, etc to the voting location is asinine.

JPW -- "Whether you want to admit it or not, this thread is absolute proof that progressives, for all their self-righteous puling, are happily jumping onboard for the race to the bottom."

AOC has every right to run in the primary. The voters will determine if she is qualified or not. Saying that voting for her is a "race to the bottom" is absolute BS. Look at the mayor of NY and what he has accomplished in a short time. Did he have the "accomplishments" you are harping on AOC for? I believe AOC has an uphill climb simply because she is a woman but you cant even admit that this is her biggest challenge. You keep harping on the accomplishments thing but I cannot find any example of the same worry about any man in the past that tossed their hat in the primary. Why are you still here vehemently against anything AOC? Nothing you say on this site is going to change whether she enters the primary and certainly wont change one voters mind on whether they like her or not. In fact just seeing that you are still here today so against her I am more for her and might actually go google her. Give it a rest.

JPW, I dont live in New York but have a friend over there that has nothing but good things to say about AOC. Something about a tutoring program and other stuff for her actual district. I thought she was cooing over the Puerto Rico thing at one point but maybe I misunderstood or she had her facts wrong (a good possibility). They believe she is accomplishing things for them and I guess that perception is reality when you are in it.

I also dont believe that Kamala slept her way to the top, or what does that say about the men? She did have to gather votes for positions in Cali. Clearly she was unprepared to jump in at the last minute and run for POTUS, I mean she didnt even do well in the primary she was in. Biden should served the one term like he said he would and the Dems should have had an open primary.

I dont think Mark Kelly wants it so that might be a moot point.

I would like to see Pete Buttigieg in a primary again. It will be interesting to see if there are any good candidates this time. I am not sure I would vote for Pete but he seems well spoken and not as far left as AOC. I also think a gay man has a better chance than a woman at this point.

I think I could get behind Mark Kelly but see AOC as a challenge. Dems have not won (against Trump of all people) with 2 qualified women and I honestly believe it is going to be that way a lot longer than anyone wants to admit. Also, you will have people like JPW that dont know what she has accomplished and think she is just a face with a loud mouth. She has actually been in there putting in work. Nothing that she has authored alone has passed but that is true for most of congress. She has gotten several amendments to other pieces of legislation through and co-authored the new green deal. If I recall she was involved in getting Puerto Rico funding for cleanup but I could be wrong. She has also gotten funding for several projects in her district and has gotten them results so they keep voting for her. I dont agree with her on a lot but you cant act like she is getting nowhere.

You cant be serious. There is no other explanation for your persona than a troll. No one person could be as incredibly stupid as you post.
