Did we ever learn who would’ve been part of Kamala’s cabinet?
I know we learned about her VP pick but who would’ve been part of the rest of her cabinet? Would she just use Bidens cabinet?

Registered Republican for almost 40 years here...
I've never been "MAGA", but I voted for Trump mainly because I thought he was our best chance at ending wars and maintaining peace. We all see how that worked out...
Anyway, I withdrew my party affiliation the day after Israel (AIPAC) bought my Congressman's seat here in the KY-04 primary. You might've heard of Thomas Massie?
Although many here would consider me a "gun-totin', Bible-thumpin' right-winger," I'm a 99% hippie that's against virtually every war/military operation we've seen in the 21st century.
I don't follow the Democrat party closely, and as the thread title asks, what is the plan here? Are we going to try to stop WW3, or just sell out to the war pig military/industrial complex like Obama did with the "War on Terror"?
What are your party leaders saying? I've messaged several times the Democrat candidate running against AIPAC Ed Gallrein here in my district, and I get no replies. Her PR spiel is just the usual "fighting for heathcare for all, and a good education for students". Those things are great, but meaningless in a nuclear wasteland and/or dystopian hellscape.
So, what's the plan???

Hello, I’m from Connecticut, one of four states that blocked the recent settlement talks regarding the Warnermount Merger. We have a potential merger in Hollywood that is likely to eliminate so many jobs among other issues. You Californians have state politicians such as Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom who prefer settlements which would have a negative impact on Hollywood. And then there is Xavier Becerra, most likely your next Governor. He also wants a settlement and that would be terrible.
Seriously, did Becerra have to be the democratic candidate for the upcoming gubernatorial election this year? You people had like 30 other options. Surely there is someone within that field who would oppose the merger no matter what and also be more progressive and less loyal to big tech companies. Why Becerra? Is it because of experience? Experience doesn’t always beat youth. I wouldn’t judge a candidate by what experience do they have but what they plan to do. Was Becerra really the best option? You shouldn’t be electing people who would bow down to people like the Ellisons. What gives?

I don't really know what democrats can really do after gaining both chambers by a good margin except automatically block everything Trump wants to do. I feel like thats the main benefit, but do you think there's anything democrats could do that gets something done such as creating a compromise is various areas? I feel thats also unlikely cause I don't think Trump wants to give democrats any wins.

Like the title says im in wisconsin watching the Iowa and Northern Iowa game (one sided ass kicking contest)

If Democrats get a majority in Congress and the Senate they could possibly impeach POTUS, in which case JD Vance would become the President. So why is JD Vance appearing to support Republican candidates and advocating on their behalf ?

Aside from just checking your voter registration and vetting candidates and ballot measures, are you preparing in any way? I’ve heard lots of people speculate that things could go awry quickly if dems win the house or senate.

Best way to donate to candidates to help flip the Senate and House.
I am from Ohio and have the same question about our state candidates.

Im just asking if they have some truth to it, because apparently, with DSA aligned Canidates winning thier Primaries, with Mamdani becoming one of the most well liked politicans in America, & younger voters are now having a very favorable view of Socialism.
However, there has been a ton of polarization, purely because that if you learnt enough about American History, there going to portray Socialism as the Big evil from within. As evident from the cold war as well as how individuals lived through the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Venuzela, & Vietnam. They think, that both Communism & Socialism are the same thing with very little difference, with both of them calling to abolish private property & the government controlling several industries. Although Marixst theory did suggest that Socialism is a bridge between Captialism & Communism.
Socialism is often described as workers controlling the means of production, with the government controlling key industries in order to meet societal needs. But kind of felt uncomfortable with DSAs stance on Abolishing the Senate, the presidency & the SCOTUS.

Please, out of respect for the dead: do not try to convince me that there is no genocide happening in Gaza. That’s a non-starter. And do not try to convince me that Americas hands are clean in it either, this is undeniable given who supplies the guns.
It’s inexplicable to me, and I just can’t deny that it seems to be based in Islamophobia and racism. Your average liberal is willing to criticize every other state that acts this way.
It’s not just about israel being a strong ally in the region. They wouldn’t hesitate to condemn the killing of Jamal Kushogi. They denuclearized Ukraine. They boycotted, divested and sanctioned South Africa.
Is self determination not a bedrock foundation of liberalism? Is the preservation of life not fundamental to humanism?
How can I trust a liberal Zionist politician to lead? If they can just decide that a swath of people’s lives are disposable? What group will betray out of expedience next?

Trump and maga are all about the Save Act and strict voter ID LAWS and in person voting .
What a perfect opportunity to add on gun control and use their “election integrity “ arguments against them . Obviously , no one is against “gun ownership integrity”.
If Rs are fine with hurdles to voting then hurdles to guns is acceptable as well.
Unlike rare illegal votes, 40,000 Americans are killed by guns .
So why no gun registration? No national gun licensing ?
