Is Either Party Considering Nominating a Good Candidate?

Just curious as to see your list of things you think Biden was effective at doing that makes him a great president/candidate
In post #41, but I'll repeat them here.

1. Repaired the catastrophic Trump economic collapse.

2. Made things normal again by running a corruption-free administration and strengthening democracy.

3. Restored the international status of the USA and beat back fascism.
 
Personally I don't like any of the top nominees so far. I seriously hope Haley or Scott get the nod for the Republican side though the odds appear slim.

But how? I mean it's one thing to just make a statement in a single sentence but it doesn't explain how he did that and you didn't provide any links to backup those statements. Even though you gave reasons you didn't explain how he did those things.
 
Biden is a good candidate.

The constant Republican BDS meltdowns demonstrate that. They wouldn't be crying so hard if Biden wasn't so effective.

So, is this just kind of a trolling thread, trying to gaslight people into thinking Biden isn't a good candidate?

Good post comrade.
 
And if the man wasn’t a bloviating ass clown who had to make a big scene and spectacle of himself everywhere he went he would probably still be the president. Acting like an adult was apparently too much to be expected of him.

Or it was unvetted, unverifiable mail in ballots.

That's the one.
 
It would be a vast improvement. Hardcore partisans won't like it, but that's sort of the point.

Actually, they're going to game the dog snot out of it and refine the partisan crap to even higher purity. Ranked choice voting is precisely the tool they need to push persistently more ludicrous or extreme candidate who can't get enough support on their own. You're falling for the partisan hackery.

Using this logic doesn that mean Trumpmand DeSantis are as well?
 
Seriously - the RCV thing is my breaking point with you. It's what exposes you as either a) a useless partisan drone or b) an idiot. I don't guess is matters much which it is.
Third party typically helps the democrat party.
If by chance the third party candidate does win they always vote with that maga party you claim to hate the democrat party. Secondly third party typically takes votes from the Republican party.

Fumy, the Dems say the same exact thing except they say it helps your tribe.

Weird

Why do you say that??? Have you even looked at it? Do you know how it works? Why do you think it's partisan? Because that's what the partisans told you? It's the opposite of what you're assuming here.

Biden is amazing! Doubled the price of everything, most corrupt politician in the Americas including Lula AND quickest ever approach to WWIII

Not with RCV. That's the entire point. It lets people support third parties without "helping" either of the majors.

:rolleyes: Partisan paranoia is so unhinged that each side thinks RCV is a "trick" by the other side.

Either that, or the partisans recognize that it would change their game. That it would discourage fear-mongering and divisive candidates. And, it turns out, they like the fear-mongering and divisiveness. It's how they roll. They don't want to give it up.

RCV really doesn't bolster third party candidates that much. In most places it's been used, you still end up with two dominant parties. What it changes is the spoiler effect. It does away with th "lesser-of-two-evils" nonsense, and allows voters to actually vote for their favorite candidate without fear that their vote will be "wasted".

What do you think of run-off elections? In some states.(eg Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, etc ...), they won't declare a winner if the candidate with the most votes doesn't have a majority. In that case, they eliminate the lower tier candidates and vote again.

Well, that's all RCV is. It's just streamlined way of doing runoff elections. You essentially pre-vote for the runoffs by ranking the candidates.

Are either of the major parties considering nominating someone who doesn't suck? eg someone besides Biden, Trump or Desantis?

Why are we stuck on suck?
It doesn't matter who is nominated, there is a industry set up to destroy them if they are good or bad...

This is where when you look past the media from both sides...

Trump was considered a silver spooned crook who stiffed contractors...

DeSantis in fairness was a moderate GOP, very sane ideas and no vilification... He has descend into bat shit crazy since, he is inventing boogymen to fight... Picking a fight with Micky Mouse was a particular low...

Biden was described guys in the GOP as one of the best men ‘God ever created’. You can disagree with him politically but person he is a fine man...

-----------

As for other candidates... It is hard because the various media bubble hone in on ratings... So showing the old head that grabs headlines over a younger unknown... e.g. Bill Clinton gets higher ratings than John F Kenndy III, Trump gets more airtime than Niki Haley

US needs to reinstate the fairness doctrine... US has two main media bubbles which are just cheerleaders for the their tribes, people need to be challenged and not fed stuff they want to agree too...
 
Those of us who were forced to not vote in the last election have no blame. Give me the same two candidates as the last election. Forced to sit it out again.

Why not vote for someone decent anyway? Hell write someone in if you have to. If you don't vote at all, you've not registered your opinion. As far as the world is concerned, you just forgot to vote.
