He won because Netanyahu degraded the Presidency and the whole country by openly defying and humiliating Biden over the genocide, forcing him to support it because of Israel's stranglehold on the democracy from Acts of Congress to influencing how Congress acts, from having more control of the media than its corporate boards, to drawing US irreversibly deeper and deeper into their regional policies of intentionally provocative belligerence, so the we would become more and more 'the great Satan', with less and less hope of forming reasonable policies and relationships there. And the Dems were frozen with no place to go. They made Biden look weak, because he let them make us weak.
Pete is highly qualified. He is brilliant, calm, respectful, a hard worker, open minded, logical, he has a beautiful family that stands beside him, and he would have made a great vice president. Hell, he would make a great president!!! Go Pete!!!
Too bad she didn't pick Pete anyway. A lot of people, including myself, would have applauded her for it. As we're finding out to our detriment, "playing it safe" doesn't seem to work anymore.
I am a bit sick of all the talk about how “we are such a divided nation”.
I believe that we need to begin talking about “how” we have “been” divided and “by who”, and for “what reason”!
People did not suddenly wake up one day and become “divided”.
We have “been” the subjects of endless and relentless concerted efforts by the radical right who has destroyed any fact, trumped up grievances, lied, and lied, and lied, and all in the effort to help them obtain POWER, WEALTH, and make the country reflect their view that they know if put to elections, they would lose. They have “divided” the nation.
The media rolled over, moderates, independents, and progressives all rolled over, institutions have been attacked, and hallowed out, the rich have taken control over wealth in the country and now, here we are living in a “failed state”, where White Supremest, hate mongers, and dividers are receiving tributes, and FOX hosts, former heroin addicts, and real incompetent lunitics are running the country headed by a rapist and felon.
What motivates "belonging" or "threat?" I think you're correct about the ideological response and wonder how those "feelings" originate. What is the milieu of life circumstances that result in those attitudes, opinions, or feelings?
Build a wall right down the middle of this country. Left side ( west ) blue. Right side ( east ) red. Both halves self governed with two separate presidents. Blue 'merica would be more densely populated with far fewer problems crime and civil unrest. It would much more prosperous. Fresh air clear water. Solar power and windmills dotting the land.
The Red 'merica would be run by most of the tech billionaires (or Trump family) surveillance crime poverty and mass shootings would be rampant in the red welfare state. Fox News would be the only allowed network or "entertainment" available. Pollution would choke daily life to a grind. Mass
immigration from the red state to the blue state ( no immigration from blue to red )would be strictly enforced or stopped altogether or risk what we have now. You get the picture...where this is going....I will then move back out west where I belong.....then I wake up.
When Pete is talking he just seems smart, aware to me. I wouldn’t know he is gay if no one mentioned it. Not that it matters.
My thinking is the only reason Kamala didn’t win is because the felon cheated. He does that. There’s not an honest bone in his body.
He’s done it before, he did it again, to stay out of prison.

Gavin Newsom's side-by-side comparison of highlighted dtj lies next to actual facts is exactly what we need more of 👏👏👏
Frightening times in America

Call conspiracy theories what they are - propaganda created to take power and money from the unsuspecting.
Thanks MTG, I will trust family, community and Buddha. I'm with ya GF about that peaceful National Divorce. See ya, don't wanna be ya.

I very much agree with this theory!
