Imagine what would happen if the party listened to its membership more frequently.
Imagine if Hillary had spent a single day campaigning in Michigan in 2016!
1 of 3,573 imaginings.
IT WAS HER TURN THOUGH!!!!!!1!!1!
Not saying she adequately campaigned for Michigan, but she did have a rally in Detroit in Nov. 2016.

But then things might happen that their sponsors don't like! Can't have that now, can we?
Trump should just quit now.
Everyone is saying it.
Imagine if they did the same thing and promoted Vance to their nominee. The incumbent VP and respected district attorney vs a right-wing project 2025 nutjob who was only chosen because he was younger than 80.
I wonder how many magabrained would sit out. They really do worship donnie like some kind of god. I wonder if they'd have the same love for JD. I somehow doubt it. The dumb brand that donnie created via that game show he was given did this country a lot of damage...I'm not sure quite so many would be lulled to a zombie state like that for JD, because really, who the fuck is jd? But rappers and so on thought donnie was rich and a badass and banging porn stars and busting into the dressing rooms of teenage pageants and grabbing all kinds of pussy, etc....and so did a whole lot of rubes. No one is rapping about JD.
I could live with that.
Oooh no you don't. I ain't letting any of you off the voting hook. Why? Because we have more work to do after we send him off as a Nation. Apart from stopping a likely second coup attempt, I would like us to continue the momentum to enact true positive change through a grassroots movement so large it'll make old Bernie tear up.
After years of disappointment and abject apathy… what is this feeling I’m feeling? Hopeful?
The temerity to believe?
Some Black guy in a tan suit had a word for it in the past.
Hope? I think it was Hope. But I can't be sure, it's been so long.
Perhaps this is a "New Hope"?
Willing to bet she'll obliterate him on the debate stage too.
Like he'll actually show up to a debate with Harris
He will if he has Covid and thinks he can try to get her sick too.
Like that other time...
Trump's handlers are too smart to let that happen. If it somehow does happen even with their protestations, it will be required watching for me. A 59-year-old mom against Donald Trump? I'll make popcorn.
This is what I'm most excited to see. Biden is a perfectly fine Democrat president but not a particularly great public speaker in terms of politicians. And the age certainly didn't help. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump decides he doesn't want to debate like he did back in 2020.
As much as I'd love to see it, I'd bet Trump is too afraid of her to agree to one.
LOL, what a world. Just let that sink in that donnie being a convicted felon meant more donations. The right sure do have their kink.
I guess Biden wasn’t exaggerating when he complained about elites wanting him out.
Platform Main article: Political positions of Kamala Harris Domestic issues Abortion Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights.[20]
Climate change Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation.[20]
Immigration As vice president, Harris invested US$950 million into Central American companies to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. She supported a proposed bill which would close the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents. She believes the immigration system is "broken" and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this.[20]
Foreign policy NATO and Ukraine Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden's foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[20][21]
Israel–Hamas war Harris is noted to have tougher positions on Israel than Biden. She supported Israel's offensive against Hamas in the aftermath of its attack on Israel, but criticized it throughout the war because of the Gaza humanitarian crisis. She also has been noted to be more allied to progressive Democrats who oppose Israel.[20][21][22] Under the Biden administration, she called for a ceasefire and pushed for more humanitarian aid.[23] Reports have said she is more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, though it is disputed whether she would immediately change policy.[24][25]
China Like Biden's administration officials, Harris has advocated for "de-risking" from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing the economic dependence on China.[26] She also raises the issues of Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, etc., just like any other Democrat government, with the intention of curbing China's rising power both economically and militarily.[27] Chinese social media does not look favorably on her candidacy,[28] and is more familiar with other candidates, such as Antony Blinken.[29] Chinese public opinion believes that she will lose to Trump.[29]

get she is not Trump but what does she bring to the table fair question
That's a persuasive list and I like it. I like it more than Biden's history at least where Israel & Palestine are concerned.
Dunno what issue you have with it, but if you're going to reply directly TWICE to the main thread... Then it clearly bothers you.
