She went through 4 campaign managers and 5 finance directors in a little over a year. Like, if you thought the Clinton campaign had issues a Harris campaign should terrify you.

What about democratic powerhouse Jim Webb? I hear he once killed a man. Thats exactly the kind of moxy the democratic party needs!tadashi posted:LeBron But yeah, gently caress it, this works too. Just grab some famous person off the street and tell them the fate of the nation is in their hands now, because the DNC clearly has no loving clue what do to anymore

Al Gore has to be a sleeper considering the planet is going to be really loving insufferable in 4 years. Also if the DNC hasn't already begged Bernie to be the candidate they're hopeless and we'll have 8 Trump and 8 Pence years.

Why the gently caress wasn't Duckworth the nominee this election cycle? I could see her easily shaming the gently caress out trump for mocking the disabled and dodging the draft. I think she could have won over many of the non-sexist independents. Plus there is already precedent for having a president (FDR) with physical disabilities. Plus the name Duckworth sounds super rednecky and might have tricked a few of the naive backwoods voters?

Beyond that, I'd rather have someone who's actually interested in governance enough to do something related to it before running for president.

Sherrod Brown finishes his 2nd term in 2018, has populist cred, super popular in ohio, will be a bit old at 68 in 2020, but still in the game. He might have just won a OH Gov race in 2018 too Marc Cuban, on the topic of moderate billionaires Cory Booker seems most likely to me though

After the birthers around Romney, a person born in Thailand of partial Asian decent probably didn't want to go in whole hog all at once. My (and Mitt's dads and Ted Cruz's) reading of the constitution is that she still qualifies because her father was a citizen, which makes her US by birth, it probably wouldn't be a fun fight. Not that the rest of the nation would care (it might even be a pro) but Harris has a pretty bad history of supporting prosecutorial misconduct. nm has issued a correction as of 07:01 on Nov 10, 2016 |

I unironically think Al Franken might be a good choice, given that he's genuinely engaging and funny, has pretty good stances on most things and can be improved if he picks up more of Bernie's platform, knows the issues the rust belt faces and won't ignore them, and can basically just be the anti-Trump. He's spent his whole time in DC thus far doing the opposite of what most politicians do: keeping his head down and genuinely trying to work.

Rand alPaul posted:Al Gore has to be a sleeper considering the planet is going to be really loving insufferable in 4 years. There is no way that Al Gore should be remotely considered given this country's political climate. He already lost one campaign and his most recent experience was as part of the Clinton administration. Bernie Sanders is going to be 79 years old in 2020. Even if he's in good health I'd be loving terrified of him dropping dead a month before the election or something like that.

Next president says they're gonna legalise weed nationally, and the Dems just don't back down on it. Everywhere it was up for a vote, Legal Weed passed, and there's no chance Pence and Guiliani don't try to go nazi on states rights to decriminalise. C'mon, you know this would work.

I honestly think Bernie will run if his health maintains over the next four years. Yes, he will be old as gently caress and that will be the primary detriment to his campaign. If he did win, he'd likely only serve one term. My guess at this absurdly way too early point is it comes down to Booker vs Bernie and, knowing Democrats are terrible, they nominate Booker, securing us four more years of the Trumpian national nightmare

I'm genuinely curious, what happened with Booker? Years back when he was still mayor and I first heard of him he seemed to have this reputation as a boots-on-the-ground people's mayor. I saw an impassioned video of him explaining how gay rights can't be a ballot measure because the rights of a minority should never be subject to the current political whim of the majority. At the time he looked to have so much potential. What happened?

In all seriousness, he was one of the highlights of the Democratic Convention in a lot of people's eyes. His job was to get people fired up and I think he did well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGUtSY3FqPo
