      It was so unnecessary, too. There are plenty of strong potential candidates. The entitlement and elitism are out of control in the DNC. Biden should have never run, much less run again. He won once because he wasn’t Trump, but there was no way he or anyone closely connected to his administration after the pain voters have felt from the economy and other pressure points. They sold us out because they believed they had a right to decide the future. Let the people choose. They are where the power resides. Millions chose to stay home rather than stop America from falling back into Trump’s ideological control.

      @@pendleton123 well, Harris already ran a much more positive script. But inclusiveness and democratic values and freedom are not the most important for many Americans. For most are realists not idealists and Republicans run a more realistic and selfish agenda - me me first, less tax. This is very American. To run a more socialist agenda is never easy. Many don’t care. My parents from older gen don’t care. Also Trump popularity is much higher than we want to accept. This also means sexism and racism is higher than ever still. I am not saying all Trump voters are like that but they tolerate it meaning they don’t see this as an issue. This is not too surprising, as democrats live in the progressive bubble of large cities, no idea what is going on in Trump counties, where I live and work and that is in a democracy state like CT and NJ. Trump everywhere here. The needs to be democratic folks in rural areas. The city is too congested and people can’t even get to the polls! Always long lines - this is always issue in states like PA and MI. I see same issue with Bernie. There are now a huge democratic population among younger people who mostly are in cities. Then of course there is a tendency for the move to extreme right and that is also a trend in other worlds.

      His comments about the refusal of the establishment to criticize Biden are why I’ve always felt two ways about how dangerous Trump is. On the one hand, we see everything that he has done/said. The guy is very clear about his intentions. On the other hand, the fact that establishment Democrats weren’t screaming from the rooftops about it makes me wonder how scared they actually are. They continually approach this as “business as usual” and not the existential threat that they occasionally say it is. So which is it? Is he actually as dangerous as we’re told?

    I’m an Obama/Obama/Clinton/Trump/Trump voter. I recently watched an interview with Marianne Williamson and I was very impressed. I differ on policy and probably won’t vote dem again, but dems would have a real chance if authentic people like her or RFK had a chance. It doesn’t matter that they are quirky and flawed. Trump voters fully accept that Trump is quirky and flawed. But he’s REAL, and that’s what you had in Williamson and RFK. Another benefit with Williamson is that she is unabashedly spiritual and is willing to say “God”. That connects with the majority of America, even if the left is ready to leave it behind. Leaving God behind means leaving voters behind.

      She is young and charismatic. Yes, the Right hates her, but that really doesn't matter at all. The Right is going to hate anybody the Left puts up. What is needed is somebody that the Left can get behind. The numbers proved nobody gave a crap about Hillary or Harris. Trump didn't win either of those elections. The Democrats lost. Biden didn't win in 2020, Trump lost because of how he handled the pandemic. In 2020 the Left could have put up a cardboard cutout of a person (which they essentially did) and it would have won.
      "Better than" is not good enough. No more racing to the bottom of the barrel. The Left has to stop campaigning against the other side and start campaigning for someone people can stand behind. Better or worse, emotions win elections. Positive ones, not negative ones. Trump makes his people feel hopeful. The Left makes their side feel miserable, so they stay home.
      AOC is extreme. But that is what could create momentum and energy. I follow politics at an above average rate, and I have no idea who "Shapiro" is, since I assume you don't mean Ben. And Mayor Pete doesn't have what it takes. Bernie is far too old. Tulsi went weird. Elizabeth Warren would be great, but I don't think she will ever live down stabbing Bernie in the back and not a strong enough public speaker.

It should also ensure that statistics are separated by category: spontaneous miscarriage; treatments that incidentally result in the death of a child (such as chemotherapy); stillbirths; and induced abortion.

      A democracy doesn’t function if you infantilize voters. In 2016 you could chalk it up to it being an honest mistake, in 2024 no voter should need to be told why it’s a mistake to elect this man. At some point Americans need to look in the mirror and take accountability for their own beliefs and stop blaming others.

    Listening from outside the US, I have to say Astead's coverage of this whole campaign (I listened to his previous episodes on the road) was very illuminating, as is his comments in the video. Friends of mine were so sure this is 100% fueled by racism, hatred of women, etc., the usual culture war arguments, but I think he's right that people are not happy with the economy and wanted to vote for the other person, given that they were offered continuity by the Democrats. And, sadly, most people just don't care enough about more "ethereal" values like democracy, rule of law, human rights, etc. Economic comfort wins every time. I just hope Trump's presidency is not a big catastrophe for us in the rest of the world.

      If the people don't experience the results of their decisions, they will not change.
      Let the people see the reality.
      I hope GOP now repeals Obamacare. Let's see all these non college working class people many of whom depend on Medicaid or subsidized ACA plans and predicting condition lose their insurance. If I were a Dem rep or senator I would vote for repeal.
      I hope the Senate will get rid of filibuster rubbing on the face of Munchin and Sinema and pass a national abortion ban (and Trump will sign it after pressure from Christians) and let's see the results for the people who voted for abortion rights in Florida (to 57%) and also voted for Scott (57%)and Trump (56%) see the stick up your behind for their stupidity.
      Until you let this run its course for the people suffer the consequences of their votes, everything you do as Dems to block the suffering will be temporary.
