This forum thread is for comments and insights by community members as we get ready to kick off the most important election in US history.
I usually have a lot to say about politics but just this morning, while visiting with a friend by phone, she suggested that maybe I should start a thread for others to voice their thoughts and concerns, ahead of the November election. We were talking about who Vice President Kamala Harris might choose as her partner for vice president, over the next four years. I shared my thoughts about who I think might be her natural political counterpart. I explained that of the potential VP picks available, I felt that Josh Shapiro (D-GOV Pennsylvania) would be the cream of the crop pick. I also talked about how Andy (D-GOV Kentucky) would be a brilliant choice as well as Gretchen (D-GOV Michigan) too. I explained to my friend that while Mark Kelly (DEM AZ) from Arizona, Gabby’s husband, would make a fine choice that I felt it was better for Mark to stay in AZ due to the purple (dem/gop mix) condition of that state that needs remarkable people like Mark to keep watch over GOP led Trumpian attacks on the nations democratic responsibilities and ensure that T—p is held accountable along with his GOP destroyers of democracy. I also highlighted ongoing missions in Michigan that aren’t tied down quite yet, so I feel like Gretchen should stay in Michigan and see justice through concerning Trumpian crimes committed there too. Andy Besear (D-GOV Kentucky) is a real sweetheart of a guy. Andy is beyond ethical and highly principled and has led both members of his state parties (gop & dem) to overcome toxic policy implemented by T—p and is a man of his word. I believe he is expert on holding dark GOP coal mining interests at bay (Manchin- he’s no democrat, I believe he lines his pockets with cash just like his GOP buddies who stand to gain something from his political stand on coal, which he has a huge stake in coal mining issues he has contributed to, not solved like Andy has). That leaves Josh Shapiro. Democratic governor of Pennsylvania. Josh is not only a brilliant strategist, he is immaculate in his desire to preserve US democracy and help with holding Netanyahu accountable (cannot stand that man, even Israeli’s are calling him out for pandering to the toxic GOP & T—p who cannot tell the truth if it killed them). How about anyone else? Ideas and comments about this years election are welcome. __________________________________________________ Here’s to our country electing Kamala Harris as our future president for the United States of America. My hope is that THE PEOPLE will send a resounding message to the world that we don’t elect felons to office. Nor do we kowtow to the elected officials of the GOP who keep serving Trumpian agenda. We are a free country whose entire framework is being dismantled by TP & his GOP counterparts. Let’s keep our country free of dark interests and elect people who truly care about our freedoms being attacked and destroyed by Trumpian dark actors. Yes We Kam❣️ People for Kamala Harris UNITE !

is my choice. The Gov. will choose another Democrat to finish Kelly's term, so we're safe until 2026, he is so popular in Arizona that I'm not too concerned about a Magat being elected.
In case we forget: -- Astronaut -- Navy pilot (flew 39 missions in Operation Desert Storm) -- Currently training Ukraine pilots on F16 -- Married to Gabby Giffords, very popular in AZ -- Gun owner but a strong advocate for sensible gun control measures -- Strong on borders issues (visited border more than once--2023 and 2024, obtained funding for AZ border patrol in 2024). He's often talked about border issues being from a border state. -- Both parents were cops Mark Kelly will draw some white men away from the apricot hell-beast.

I'm looking forward to a book on Pres. Biden. This is how I see things and I'd like to know the back stories to Biden's terms as VP and POTUS.
Most Presidents get a shot at a 2nd term and Biden wanted a shot at 2024. He refused to go down without a fight. I don’t blame him. Biden should have ran in 2016 (and 2020—if 2016 had been successful), but I think the DNC and Obama made a deal with Hillary Clinton and supported her run in 2016 (for her support of Obama in 2008). For Hillary's support, I think Obama promised her any job she wanted (other than VP?). I thought she would take a seat on the Supreme Court, but she wanted to be a policy maker in Barack's administration and she wanted to run as POTUS in 2016, pushing Biden out. Well, Hillary didn't win in 2016 and Joe Biden got the support to beat Trump in 2020. I can only imagine how victorious he felt and how annoyed that he wasn't able to beat Trump in 2016. Of course Biden thought he'd run again in 2024 after winning 2020, but he's old, useless as POTUS, and Democrats were ready to drag his ass out of the White House if they had to. I understand. In all of this, Biden has behaved like an adult. No whining, no blaming, no threats nor bullying. None of that Trump bullsh*t. Biden knows it’s over and has bowed out gracefully, giving VP Harris his full support, as he should. I’m glad I voted for him and would have voted for him had he been the nominee for 2024. I hope someone writes about this going back to the deals made in 2008 by Biden, Clinton, Obama and others. Makes me wonder what deals are currently being made that will affect politics and policies for the next 15-20 years.

If you come across that book one day, please post about it, ok? ______________________________. I have had dreams at night about who Kamala will pick for her cabinet members. I dreamed she picked Mark Kelly as her Secretary of State and reappointed several members of other agencies who were robbed of their life long careers in public service. The Democratic Convention is just two weeks away or so. Kamala Harris will name her VP on August 7th or 8th. Please keep us posted as things progress forward. ![]() |
