@MilesPerHoward I hope she runs just so she can be humiliated on the primary debate stage

The fact that this is even being considered is a reflection of how the Democratic Party more closely resembles a professional advancement association than a competitive political party.

@neo_kme It’s actually funny how Willkie came out of that Republican convention with hella political momentum and then just immediately lost it all by going on a 5 week Colorado vacation

Ive been collecting my thoughts on this year for the tct scenario and Willkie really is both probably the most awe inspiring person to ever get close to the presidency and also someone who ran a bafflingly bad general election campaign despite it all.

@neo_kme Benjamin Harrison’s widow supported him at the 1940 convention! Super Gump-esque

Think of him like the Forrest Gump of American politics for like 50 years.

@PollTracker2024 Guessing there were like 5 nonbinary people in the survey

@skep_observer Hillary became the Black candidate in that time

How did Kentucky’s eastern coalfield go from loving Hillary to hating Hillary in just 8 short years?

@neo_kme Assuming a bunch of state-level Democratic parties nominated Ike?

Give 'Em Hell

@ConservaMuse Which book?

A fascinating description of Calhoun.

@neo_kme Remarkable that Adlai did so comparatively well against Ike given these numbers

Polling for the 1952 election.

@Maxthecat5905 Nobody cares

This guy had a nazi tattoo and didn’t get it covered up UNTIL HE RAN FOR OFFICE btw.

@Maxthecat5905 Liberty League POV

@neo_kme Is that a Republican faithless elector for George Wallace/Ted Kennedy ?!

anyway, back to regularly scheduled programming

@DrewSav Nobody outside Bluesky gives a single fuck about his tattoos or his Reddit account

Platner supporters don't really have a good answer for what happens if he's the nominee and Republicans dump $150 million in ads against him

@RuNoseP Wisconsin was historically an early primary state around midcentury. Idk why they’re not bringing that back given its relatively small size and swing state status

it should definitely be Illinois or Nevada

@StephenM Fascist pig

In case it isn’t clear by now, if Democrats won they would have made every city into Mogadishu or Kabul or Port-au-Prince.

@neo_kme Where’d you find this?

FDR note declining the presidential nomination if Henry Wallace were rejected as his Vice Presidential candidate by the convention (1940)

@neo_kme Henry Cabot Lodge-maxing

John Huntsman 2012 was doing shit no candidate had been doing since Eisenhower and MacArthur lol. Was basically running his shadow campaign from China while serving as Ambassador If this were the mid-century he would've been polling at 70%

@neo_kme When is this from?
