Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

If they take Biden off the ticket they're gonna put a corporate puppet in power. Fuck, I wonder if they're trying to get Trump elected on purpose.
Mark Kelly is the new hotness.
IDK who that is.
I mean I haven't heard anything about him for president or anything and he's from my state so ofc I'm aware of him.
He's a senator from Arizona, the Dems shelled out massive amounts for his campaign to beat Martha "MAGA" McSally.
All in all, not a bad idea for a Presidential bid. He's a veteran combat pilot, a former astronaut, arguably a national hero for those 2, and he's pretty progressive to boot. I'll also never, sadly, discount the advantage a white dude has.
Bonus point: Gabby Giffords as first lady would definitely be actively pushing gun control reform from the platform.
Navy pilot (A6 Intruder), Combat Veteran, Test Pilot, Navy Captain, Astronaut, Arizona Senator, husband of Gabby Giffords, twin brother of Scott Kelly, who has a nearly identical resume.
Basically, a true American hero, and a Democrat who has proven he can win in a red state.
Just replacing one corporate puppet with another one won't win them the election, so they won't be putting anyone "in power". Definitely feels like they're trying to get Trump elected. And I mean, if Trump is elected then the oligarchy gets everything they ever wanted (project 2025), and the Dems work for the oligarchy. Makes sense they'd do what's best for their corporate overlords.
Biden plans to raise taxes on billionaires and businesses.
I wish he could get this... I'd love to see the plan for HOW he plans to get anything like it through Congress... What Dems will stand against it? How will he deal with them? Then make the message "elect Dems and we WILL do this... Any Dems who didn't get in line will be out of the party fast" something like that... Otherwise it's just bs fluff to pretend he'll do things for working people
Biden doesn't control the media, and the media will not promote that message.
