Professional handsome man George Clooney is the best choice if the dems want to go the hollywood celebrity route. Big smug outspoken liberal, sure he'll be poison in the heartland but he might turn out Obama coalition numbers in the cities.

NumberLast posted:Not likely Trump is going to convert NASA into a space themed casino. Not if Newt has anything to say about it. He'll build a moon base, just you watch. Also that got me thinking how DNC incrementalism even extends to the space program. I heard something on NPR about how the Obama administration determined that going to mars would be too expensive so they'd just land on some random tiny asteroid instead.

Put George Clooney in a movie where he wears flannel shirts and drives around a pickup truck while struggling to find work and take care of his three children as a widower dad while receiving guidance from his wise old pastor. Have him talk about Jesus on The View while promoting it. See if that helps (yeah though there's no way he fixes the demographic problems we just saw)

See if that helps Clooney was nominated for an oscar for playing a rich Hawaiian lawyer who'se biggest problem was what to do with millions of dollars worth of oceanfront property. That's relateable, right?

Gabbard supposedly still personally opposes gay marriage, refused to answer when asked if gays are oppressed in the US, and never apologized for saying this.quote:As Democrats we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists. Her only response is the typical "I have a 100% rating from the HRC!" I think I'll pass.

I think it's good that a politician wants to stick to their views and not weather vane all over the place. Not that I don't think Grabbards views are retarded. I just think integrity is a value and can respect that Grabbard deserves an opinion

I dunno, I don't think it shows integrity for someone who opposes gay marriage and doesn't think gays are oppressed in America to hide behind MY 100% HRC RATING like that means anything.

Assuming the Democrats don't play identity politics again, and I'm fairly hopeful they won't, I'm still not sure someone with a stance and history like that will see a ton of support. VP, though? Maybe!

The incoming DNC chairperson is a Muslim. The anti-islam stuff alone is a deal breaker on getting ahead. It'd be like if a raging antisemite had been up for the position this cycle.

*getting out of bed after a long night of dreaming about politics* Listen Tulsi Gabbard seems great and all but *yawning and heiling the new american flag that replaced all the stars with a giant swastika* I'm just not sure about her views on Islam, I mean she thinks we shouldn't have gotten involved in *puts on my federal mandatory white smock and religion badge* Syria, not too mention she used to be against gay marriage, so there goes the former* LGBT vote *Shortly after the "Pence Act" was signed in 2019, all LGBT persons were saved from a life of sin via electro-shock conversion therapy

loving unbelievable. Republicans win with a white supremacist and you're anxious to throw minorities under the bus to catch up to them. I continue to say Duckworth - I even wanted her for VP. I think claims of her being dumb are seriously overblown.

I haven't seen anything that suggests to me that Tulsi Gabbard is all that great. Why is she? Because she's a young, attractive, non-white, veteran female Bernie supporter? I get that image counts for a lot in politics, but it's nice actually have something more behind it (and if that something actually doesn't find gays icky in 2016) -- is there? I'm not convinced 'hates gay people less intensely than Mike Pence' is that impressive of a hurdle to clear for Dem candidate. I feel like I'm missing something here.

Will not stand for BS put up by people who hide behind optics. Will not rise to bait despite what her opponents say, will attack on the issues every time and won't just say "look at what this man said to me". Gave limbs for her country, and back home she still thinks she has more to give it. Yes, I know a few things about Ladda Duckworth. Enough to think that she's a woman who would steer America right if given the wheel.
