The Political Thread

Green party policies I mostly agree with, the politicians that get traction tend to be loonies or obvious grifters tho

Which is unfortunate, a lot of the third party candidates tend to be crazy or Uber extremist.

Either that or they're just liberals or centrists who don't get traction in their own parties so they move to a party more to the left and fuck things up

Sounds similar to the Libertarian party in that aspect. We liked Gary Johnson, most didn't care for Jerguson (sp), now we got a leftist as our candidate in Oliver. He ran for Governor in Georgia last term.

Honestly, probably the right decision

Curious to see who they have replace him, if it's Kamala Harris I do think it's a very good matchup with Trump.

Should have done this a year ago.......now Kamala Harris is a year behind in campaigning and reintroducing herself since we've probably seen her do anything public a handful of times during this whole 4 year run.

I only say Kamala Harris because Biden officially endorsed her.......Gavin Newsom better not run, he is the worst.

Smartest decision. Ever.

It takes real introspection to realize you can’t do it. Kudos to Biden.

I think she wins, but most likely they go into an open convention. My guess is Biden gives her his endorsement, though and that locks the nomination up once they vote.
