2028 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

You mean the current 39 or so million residents who "have not left"? California is a huge state in geography, culture, and population and not everywhere in the state is the same. Like any other state, it has its faults. It's expensive, but to a lot of people, including myself, it's well worth it.
I'm guessing you must have lived in California sometime in the past in order to have such an understanding of the "misery."
No surprise that SoupySales has such enmity for our first majority non-White state. Such fear and hatred, shame. That's how MAGA is and how Faux Noise tells them to be.
Did you ever wonder what you'd have done during the rise of fascism? You're doing it right now.

Not surprised the folks who have not left CA think well of Newsom. They should enjoy the misery.

Gratefully, I have not lived in CA. My knowledge and opinion of CA is probably more than the knowledge O Really has about MS which he has bashed in the past.

Good point, if it were true. Over the years I have done extensive and in person work for clients in Tupelo, Jackson, and Biloxi, some of whom also had locations in other more rural parts of the state. But nevermind my own experience, a cursory look at demographic stats clearly shows Mississippi is no societal paradise, and being at the bottom in education doesn't help. But Mississippi has some nice places and undoubtedly some good people. My bashing is largely because the state has a plethora of rednecks and I'm prejudiced against rednecks.

Speaking of Mississippi, Jackson has the highest violent crime rate in the nations, yes significantly higher than LA or Chicago. Can we expect Trump to send "help" in the form of military? Naa, I didn't think so.

No question Jackson has deteriorated. I lived there 25 years, 70's-90's, and it was great place to raise a family. Like many urban areas folks have moved out of the city. No question the Delta is very depressed.

I went to a navy school at Naval Air Station Meridian MS in ealy 75. I don't remember any crime or even reading about any. But I do remember riding with my fellow student in his Datsun 240Z to some local mall or something. I remember seeing a lot of poeverty and rundown houses and even shacks all the way there. it made me feel guilty somehow.

‘Insanity’: Top Democrat is reportedly moving toward another presidential run

Kamala.

IMO she earned the right to run again if she wants it. Let her make her case in a full primary season vs any opponents. I may even vote for her. 2024 Kamala was better than 2020 Kamala. If Dems nationwide think that she gives them the best chance in Nov, so be it.

Well, I suppose if you use the definition of "insanity" as being to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result, then the guy has a point. But it's not unusual for a candidate to lose in their first attempt and win next time around. However, a slightly Blackish woman who will always carry the stigma of losing to a drooling psychopath convicted felon isn't the way.

Whoever wins in 2028 is going to have a full time job unaming shit, tearing down plaques, chandeliers and gilded shit around what's left of the Whitehouse.

Did you forget who you picked? Those decisions are subject to change. I know Trump was not my original choice in 2016.

:lol:

Why would I change as nobody is actually running yet and won't be until the fall.

As an aside, at two plus years the presidential election cycle is way too long. Another effed up thing in this country.

What country does it better? Canada. England. France. Australia. New Zealand. And at this point, considering the massive effort to corrupt the process, practically every other democratic country.

And the freedom of this country allows one to move to those countries and give up other rights here. Just a reminder, we are not a democracy, we are a representative republic.
