No I don't think that has anything to do with super rich. It is the top 1.8% of income earners though.    Also if you think the proposals to raise the taxes on people making that much are ex

A couple of years ago, I was  late for a conference call with colleagues in Germany and India. After joining the call and apologizing for being late. Someone from India said, "just be like Trump and s

Voter ID isn't the big issue. The big issue is state law proposals that allow state legislatures to overrule the vote in elections and that take power away from the state's secretaries of state as wel

Trump was bragging about man woman pen shit for the mental tests they made him take ... and he did it at the speed of a dial-up modem. A guy going through legit cognitive decline started a rumor that his opponent was going through cognitive decline and then he got his ass kicked in the debates and had to come up with excuses for it.

 

As with many complaints people make about others, those focusing on Biden's health or mental state are projecting their insecurities about their preferred guy: Trump.

 

But Biden is 8,000 years old and it's frankly pathetic the best idea the electorate can come up with is to keep electing dinosaurs. Apologies in advance to any elderly in this forum but even boomers are largely out of touch with the real world at this point. 80-year-olds go beyond that and simply can't relate to many aspects of modern life. Their worldview was molded, formed and cemented long ago and suffers from the same inadequacies. Some are more in touch than others, but none are really of the current age.

I don't even blame Biden or Trump at this point. I blame the Gen-X and the "geriatric" millenials for the lack of quality younger candidates in the last 2 presidential election cycles. 

 

2016 and 2020 had no business with 65+ year olds as front-runners, but the "must be entertained" generation doesn't believe in lifting a finger to do anything that doesn't tickle our crotches.

There were some quality younger presidential candidates in 2020. Booker was my personal favorite, but also Buttigieg, Castro, Swalwell, Beto, and Yang (who I don’t feel should really count, but he ran).
 

But there were just too many candidates and not enough oxygen. Certainly not when they were also being suffocated by all the attention going to the more established names like Biden, Bernie, and Warren.

 

There are some good potential candidates out there. They just have to get some oxygen. Someone like Bill Clinton came out of nowhere. Obama less so, but he still was seen as a big underdog to Hillary back in 2008 before he took off.

 

Anyway, it’s on the voters. They pick the nominees.

No viable candidates challenged Hillary in 2016 so there wasn’t much choice for the voters then. That’s on Democrats for clearing the field.

Not many wanted to run because they knew she was the obvious favorite with little chance for anyone else to win. The party didn’t clear the field for her, it’s just that not many people wanted to waste their time running into a buzzsaw.
 

Biden could have run, but his son had just died. Bernie ran and provided a clear alternative to the left. O'Malley ran but got flanked on the left by Bernie. Webb ran but flamed out quickly. Chafee ran but went nowhere. Not sure who else you think was going to run to be some other great alternative.

No one tried. That’s the point. Someone as flawed as Bernie did well. It’s a shame we didn’t have a real competition.

The voters clear the field, just like in 2008. 2016 just didn't have a quality younger candidate like 2008 did.

 

None of the 2020 candidates were serious and it showed.

I'm so tired of this DNC didn't give voters a real candidate bullshit from 2016. Again grow the fuck up democrats.
