To be fair, he's not really running hard (or barely at all) on the anti-vax stuff and is basically positioning himself as the liberal alternative to Biden.

With Williamson also on 5-10%, it remains crazy that Biden can be so vulnerable but have no major candidate challenging him. It speaks to a sure concern for the Democrats (and why they bound behind him in the first place) that there's no real establishment candidate capable of stirring anyone's passion, especially with Kamala increasingly found wanting.

I once held a bit of hope for Cory Brooker as someone who would appeal to the centre but he's dropped right off

It's highly likely the US will be voting for one of two geriatrics next election. Worrying

I wish Warren was younger, smart lady. Still very sharp though.

there are smart Dems, they just don't seem to have that x factor that could overcome the BS spewed out by the right wing media. Warren would have a tough fight, Whitehouse as well, as he doesn't have a lot of charisma. Newsom is more soundbite-genic, but isn't nearly as smart as he thinks he is. The Veep also doesn't have a lot of popularity and I think would lose even if she ran a smarter campaign than Hillary did.
They'd better have some smart political operatives working 24/7 to find a good candidate before they get to the middle of primary season.

RFK Jr touting Larry David's support gets a vintage Larry David response.

 

[Satan]

Lol

 

[spinynorman]

It’d almost be worth having RFK Jr be the nominee against Trump in the election just to hear Trump be the one taking the pro-vaccine line in the debates.

 

[lenny&carl]

Biden's gone as of today... someone/something has flipped the switch. Money to be made betting against his nomination, imo.

Trump who fast-tracked, funded then continuously bragged about the vaccines? Or do you mean Judd Trump the snooker player perhaps?

Cookers vs cookers. The great American bake-off?

It's really ****ing depressing living here.

Theres a ton of factors, but I think It's mainly got to to do with the broken electoral system that forces people to vote on who they think other people will vote for. When you have someone as downright fascistic as Trump, then you feel compelled to vote for a nobody rather than someone who could fix any problems. Which in turn means anyone who wants to fix the problems doesn't even bother to run, as we are seeing time and time again. This breeds cynicism from the electorate and the self fulfilling prophecy is complete. Couple that with a system that has no criminal Checks and balances (only political ones that can easily be overcome), then you have a system that's ripe for a populist takeover.

I dont think it should be a suprise what's happening in the US right now. I think it's a suprise that they have gone this long without it happening.

A verbal war broke out between two old-timers over climate change that led to one loudly farting at the table to express his disgust.

He’s a nutter. Get rid of him.

Obviously things have changed since I posted that, and it shows he can't help himself.

Yep. Whacko, but his name means he’ll get some support. Sheesh.

A season of Curb Your Enthusiasm where they end up in Washington DC with Cheryl as First Lady would be some kind of consolation, but probably not worth it.

RFK obviously batshit nuts and a Trojan horse to try and cause more destabilisation funded by the Russians, and supported by Bannon and Stone.

No this Trump who said it would go away.

He's flapping his arms around saying he didn't say what we saw him say.

Utter kook who needs treatment not a platform from the nutjob media.

Sadly he will get a bigger platform appearing before one of Jim jordan committee on Thursday
