I haven’t looked much into him yet but he checks a lot of good boxes.
Is he someone that leftists could back?
Is there any dirt that people have dug up that I’m not aware of?
If we wanted to champion him, could the leftist orgs unify and help him?
Do I sound like a dirty reformist(God pls no)???
Thoughts? Opinions?
It’s not like elections change anything, but at least he’s a presidential candidate acknowledging the Indigenous population and their demands as well as actual anti-racist policies like reparations. He has some cringe takes and will never get elected, but elections in the USA are just excuses to show ads and at least he’ll show some different ones. I’m pretty sure whoever is the Republican will win the election unless Biden dies of a heart attack and lets somebody at least halfway popular run instead, not that it’d change much. He did an interview on Red Nation if anybody wants to hear what he has to say straight from his mouth without having to trudge through newscorps. Don’t expect much though.
I don’t really see Biden running again but that could easily push Kamala as the Dem frontrunner unless they really do pull something out of their back pocket(not like the phony Bloomberg bullshit last time) to get votes. If Kamala is their pick then Reps are probably gonna get it this time easily. That’s just my hot take without diving too much into it though.
Also it’s cool to see indigenous persons as activists. I like slowly getting introduced to these new channels of info I wasn’t previously aware of.
He’s actually already running though it’s such a deflated campaign that you probably hadn’t heard of it. There will also be no debates in the primaries as far as I’ve heard, so the DNC is just handing it to him.
The announcement video is pretty funny though. “DING… DING… DING… DING… FREEDUM!”
“Let’s finish the job”
What, nuclear apocalypse? Climate disaster? Straight up handsmaid’s-taleing women now that Roe was overturned under your senile ass? Finish the job, pfft. Motherfucker.
It’s funny because usually the second presidency is the one with the least popular stuff getting done since they can just go on to retire and build Obama Institutes or whatever without caring about votes. Though I have no idea how he can top how bad his first presidency was. Ever since Sanders got cheated out of the primary I’ve been saying that Trump is just gonna get elected again, if not in 2020, in 2024. I’m just not placing bets yet because somehow the US also produced DeSantis since they aren’t trained to de-escalate on literally anything.
