Personally, I'd love to see a Tulsi-Yang ticket and get the best of both
~~MILF Tulsi~~
How so? Their numbers have been absolutely abysmal.
Because Trump supporters who like them won't be conflicted over having to choose between them and their boy. They can support them freely.
Gary Johnson performed better than these two combined, and there's no political future for him.
The Dems are also going through a cleansing phase and rebuilding like what the Republicans did under Trump
I doubt Trump is going to endorse Yang or Tulsi
Many of his supporters will. I know I will. Sargon will. Many will.
Depending on who the GOP candidate is. Like if it's Nikki Haley, that's harder to call, versus if it's Jeb? No contest there.
To take over a party, like Trump has with the GOP, you need to have merit and reason to support your takeover.
After the neolibs and socialists lose in 2020, people will be looking for someone to rally around and rebuild.
Yang and Tulsi represent the healthier path forward
So far, the progressives haven't completely taken over the Dems yet. Need Bernie to win. But Bernie will be more of a case against that taking over than for it. I definitely think there will be a recession under Bernie.
And if there is, people will remember that
Bernie will face a crushing defeat similar to Corbyn's banishment in the last UK election. The real question is whether the Dems embrace the progressives or reject them completely after 2020.
Probably, but don't get too cocky
Typically, the pendulum will swing from left to right and back, just like you take a step with your left foot and then your right and then the left again and so on to move forward. Meaning the public at large will likely vote for a strong Democrat in 2024 to fill in the gaps they believe were left by Trump. This is why many of the last Presidents have alternated - Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump ... Before Bush was Reagan, but he was an exception.
It's not a hard and fast rule. Sometimes you get doubles. So like Bush (R), Reagan (R), Carter (D), Ford (R), Nixon (R), LBJ (D), Kennedy (D), Ike (R), Truman (D), FDR (D), Hoover (R) ... But safe money says the pendulum will swing to a Dem next time. You most likely won't get more than two in a row.
So think about what the gaps Trump leaves might be and expect the next candidate to be the one who most likely promises to address those things.
I'll concede that a party shift is almost to be expected in the post-Trump 2024 election. Bernie's correctly identified the greatest problems affecting the middle class - the cost of healthcare being one of the largest - but presents socialist reform that the majority of Americans find to be unpalpable.
Trump has price transparency that he can lean on, but by and large, we have a real problem with entitlement in this country and the mindset that people have a right to force others to pay their bills for them, and that they can avoid taking responsibility for their own lives.
So ... that's something that needs to be addressed, and I try to work on it. Interestingly, UBI would actually be a carrot you could offer in exchange for them giving up the current welfare system. Yang is very smart in that regard to make it an either-or, rather than purely additive.
But again, like I said, and like Bill said in that video, you need to convince people they're not gonna starve from you taking food out of their mouth or they'll fight you tooth and nail over it.
There's a lot I don't like in Yang and Tulsi's plans, but enough that I do for me to bite the bullet and say it'd be a healthy step forward, especially knowing what's coming down the line with automation. Those two are concerned about love of country and unity and not overturning what's clearly working. We could do a lot worse than them, as you're seeing right now.
Lol good
This is Trump country
>two Somalis
So I have an idea to make leftists ree forever if Trump somehow loses election.
Pardon Richard Nixon.
Order assassinations on Maduro.
Declare martial law and hand nukes to Israel.
Start a Kickstarter to get a Pinochet statue in the front lawn of the White House.
Openly declare that Xi is Winne the Pooh.
How about some budget cuts and debt reduction instead....
No, no, he might be on to something here
Knowing them, stuff about having children could be “White Supremacist Propaganda”
Boomer tier
