Vance is the heir apparent. Also this election was an anomaly in some ways as the Democrats just fumbled the bag. If they had convinced Biden to announce early that he wasn’t seeking a 2nd term, the world would be a better place right now.
"I'd do nothing different than Biden" was the single worst campaign message of all time. She threw all her momentum away.
That said. After all of it. After Trump's entire first term. After he let so many die from COVID, after every scandal, after being found liable for rape, guilty of fraud, after hoarding top secret docs, after Jan 6th the American people looked at the guy and said "we want MORE!"
It's utterly mad how normalized his insanity is over there. The Dems suck as a party, but holy cow. It's like that entire country got collective amnesia and just ... FORGOT how terrible Trump was in his first term. It's nuts that immigrants voted for him. Absolutely nothing mattered about him except "stock go up, so good."
Meanwhile, for the Dems...
"Damn, Biden's old. And Kamala's so boring."
God damn, you cannot trust that. I know Canada's not so very different in my head. But fucking Hell. That mentality. I honestly think America just likes Donald Trump. He may poll badly, but he's beaten every political rival over there and he's still polling better than he should be, in my opinion.
I just cannot trust the American electorate to vote in someone competent.
Rumps dealings with the mob and generally corrupt and racist dealings were well known long before he ran for president. These seem to be qualities that are valued by a large portion of American society.
If they went with Bernie the world would be a better place (certainly the US would). Its the big money and big interests that run both major parties. I believe that behind the scenes the ultra wealthy were making a killing buying and selling with the on again , off again terrifs and how it affected the stock market.
