Vance is an absolute dud of a candidate but I'm sure the Democrats will manage to come up with someone even more ludicrously unsuited.

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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

DNC torn between HRC, Newsom, and Schumer
What about Sinema? She's super qualified.
Not Liz Cheney?
Oh, of course! Those primaries will be lit!
By unsuited, do you mean for the job or to get the vote of fickle progressives?
"Dem candidates are never bad, progressives are just fickle!" - you
They're not worse than JD Vance, which was the contention. If the commenter is not coming at it from the disgruntled progressive stance, as so many here are, then that part of my response was off the mark.
The commenter is being very coy about what was meant.
You don't even know who it's gonna be and you're already stating they'll be better than Vance as if it's a truism. I can absolutely see the DNC fucking up so badly that Vance looks like a better alternative. INB4 we end up with two Peter Thiel acolytes running against each other; "abundance" vs. "Christian" nationalism, a true clash of ideas.

What job exactly would that be? To do the bidding of the oligarchs or to actually represent the electorate?
I'm asking what you mean, so feel free to add details. Let's just use Kamala Harris as an example.
Who would be better suited to do the bidding of the oligarchs? Trump or Harris.
Who would be better suited to actually represent the electorate? Trump or Harris.
Who would be better suited to get the vote of fickle progressives? Trump or Harris.
Your answers will help me determine what your comment meant. Let me know if you were thinking of someone other than Harris who that was and if your answers would be any different.

Making their constituents feel represented is a huge part of their job
They will invent one. In a lab.
Sofa king stupid
why the hat?
This was an AI clip Colbert made to make fun of JD Vance when JD Vance was trying to say that putting Hakeem Jeffries in an AI video with a sombrero wasn’t racist. The sombrero here is a callback to that original video.
It's taco Tuesday my friend
JD Kirk 2028
It would only be like the fifth time hes changed his name
Bowman/Kirk let's not let him forget his true last name.
I’m finding this interesting—- I’ve heard two hypotheses around JD running for President—
1, he will divorce Usha, as she’s not Xian; and marry Erika….
2, Usha will convert
In my universe; #1 is ahead by a nose at this point. The Hug and this just keep adding to #1…
He's been propped up by others for his entire life. I wouldn't expect anything different.
Have you all said thank you lately?
JD Vance divorce/Remarriage incoming
I wonder who the bride will be
The system is so broken
Let's keep funding it though and keep spending on all of our wants that we don't need. That way things will get worse!
How do we fix a cancer-ridden machine that we are all very much a party to?
She had her husband killed because he wouldn't back JD and Vance. Many people are saying it.
So she's fucking him?
She’s probably been banging the immigrant pool boy for years behind Charlie’s back, Vance isnt gonna cut it
I heard she was sucking and fucking. And I heard she has a tattoo above The V that says "Nut Depository".
Degrading women is cool when it's people you don't like
Man, when JD leaves Usha for Erika, the fireworks will be amazing to watch.
He'll just get ICE Shanghai her..oopsie.
Does DJT know Vance is running against him in 2028
Until DJT goes full Putin, this is his last term
Support the balls
Cushions*
This is only because he thinks President's Day is the best day for couch sales.
She's gonna support him in every way she can, in and out of the bedroom.
I'm honestly surprised America doesn't have those suicide bomber we used to hear so much about after 911.
Quiet piggy! Also didn’t her dead husband believe she should shut up and go to the kitchen.
