Biden finally has an actual Democrat primary challenger

Post by bmw » Thu Oct 26, 2023 10:28 pm

He has somewhere between a snowball's chance in hell and the Pistons' chance of winning an NBA title this season, but nevertheless, this is the most serious contender to announce yet.

House Representative Dean Phillips.

In reality, a vote for Phillips is a vote against Harris. When Democrats were whispering about dropping Joe it was Bill Maher who said what few Democrats would, 'dump Harris from the ticket not Biden'.

His candidacy only poses one real question... If Joe struggles out of the gate, would he dump her?

Keep in mind, this man has called Biden a great President so far, but that the upcoming primary is about the future. This is not going to be a dirty campaign against Joe, expect some swipes at Harris.

From the linked article:

" ... Phillips said he has studied polling data and is alarmed about the prospect of Trump beating Mr. Biden, should the 2024 election end up becoming rematch of the 2020 race ... ".

So exactly how does another hat in the ring help any Democrat win? I'll agree with anyone that says just about anyone but Joe has a better chance of beating Trump.

But let's be honest. Biden WILL be the nominee. And there will be NO primary debates. Seems it prudent every Democrat should be pragmatic and be All In For Joe.

I would like to ask your thoughts on this. Does Harris hurt, help or not a factor in Biden's 2024 chances?

Joe should replace Mrs. Emhoff with Phillips.

I agree 100 percent (and I agree with Maher as well).

I need a little more insight from you on that statement, Matt. We've come a long way from a woman living life as Mrs. Joe Smith.

Of course there are women who want that… are they misogynists too?

Most do, but the two female governors in Michigan history and the only female VP in American history do not, yet this clown has consistently referred to them by their husband's last names. He also has asked "does she cook and do laundry?" You pick some weird hills to die on - this one might be your worst.

My opinion is that it is up to the woman, and most women choose to take the name. I'm aware of one woman who chose to give up her fairly normal maiden name for "Boxberger" - that seemed like a poor choice.

Women should be under no obligation to give up their maiden name. Many gay cis men do not when they marry. I don’t see how this is any different, especially for someone running in politics. General wisdom is you keep your legal name from when you first ran.
They/them, non-binary and proud.

Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

My wife took my name when we got married. It was awkward calling her neckbeard for the past 16 tears, but now at 40, its gotten more appropriate.
