She’s one of a very few take-no-shit-from-anyone politicians who actually seems to be working for a positive result, and not a backhander.
That does, as you’ve said, complicate being President. Unless she could go the exact opposite way to Trump, and build a cabinet of genuinely hard-working, intelligent staff, it’ll not work. And even then she needs to tell the massive money businesses like the oil tycoons, Musk, and all those often deemed ‘bad’ to GTF out of the way, and that the world is not going to dance to their tune.
And then… Saying that, and making it stick, are two very different things. The people she’d be fighting would be happy to tie everything up in litigation for as long as it takes to get her back out of office.
Look at the situation with Trump - even when courts order him to do something, it doesn’t happen, and there are (so far) no repercussions.
That is the sort of power that has to be overcome in order for a ‘good’ person to do the job they should be able to do.
The other factor is the widely entrenched racism, paternalism and misogyny in the states that tilts the field away from anyone who isn’t a white male; I’m sure that played a part in Kamala’s loss to the orange shitgibbon.
Sadly, I don’t think enough of the voting populace are ready for an AOC in the white house yet…
The guy who impressed me recently is Jon Ossoff but I don’t know whether he’d be likely to run. Being white & male he’d perhaps have more of a chance than AOC. He’s also only 39 so about 40 years younger at least than most senior democrats.
I’d almost be surprised if Gavin Newsom doesn’t run.
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is the single most popular politician in the US right now, holding a job approval rating over 60% in polls.
For “forcing socialism” down people’s throats ![]()
The continuing right wing meltdown over the rise of Democratic Socialism is amazing, they always ignore that people voted for this and present it as some Muslim plot
Mamdani is so charming and clever he is untouchable by their attacks
Unfortunately, being Ugandan born, he can’t run for President. I imagine he will be in the Senate some day though.
I like Zohran ![]()
The single biggest political villain being presented to the old racists watching FOX news is wildly popular online personality Hasan Piker
FFS America!
Trump posted this pic on his propaganda platform:
TLDR: Trump connected oil firms prepare to drill in Greenland without permits. Greenland will react. It is anticipated that will be the premise for Trump-related (military?) folks to move into Greenland and start annexing bits that might be useful to Trump-connected folks.
Apparently, according to the most cleverest person in the world Obama was born in Kenya.
Is that the guy who’s told us the US is winning in Iran ?
It could have been a very different story if Obama had bleached his skin and changed his name to Charles ‘Chuck’ Winthrop Vanderbilt III…
Congress really needs to nip any military activity outside their bases in the bud. And Denmark needs to organise another NATO training exercise while highlighting to US voters ahead of the mid-terms just how well the foreign wars are going
When Trump sends in the military to protect the drillers or even annex the area if the license is refused and NATO does nothing, what happens next?
It’ll be too late.
Act. Now.
Tennessee made sleeping outside a felony. This was passed into law in 2022, making unauthorised camping, sleeping, or erecting a tent on state-owned public property a Class E felony, punishable by up to six years in prison and a $3,000 fine.
(I wonder how they get on with hiking and camping…? Do you have to get a license?)
First-time domestic assault is still a misdemeanour.
Republican website appears to have been hacked!
GOP Dallas convention website redirects to Epstein files list!
Branson’s name figures a lot in there. Surprised (not really) he isn’t pursued more.
That speech was absolutely disgusting. Delivered at a memorial for actual victims.
Fucking gross 80 year old paedo
