If you want to do something special (and can get enough people together who don't mind a pricer meal and can commit to it well in advance), don't rule out Talula's. They WILL make accommodations for vegetarians. For my 40th we ate at the chefs table (RIP) and they made arrangements for my aunt who is a pescatarian Good to know. This was kind of last minute. I came to town for a surprise we got dad, and it coincided with the weekend before mom's birthday.

Maybe an actual primary after Biden was forced out so that voters would have picked the candidate. But maybe not even that. Who knows? It's in the books now. This was the long term gaffe that was the most damaging, IMO. When Biden ran in 2020 it was with the purpose of defeating Trump, and he succeeded because he was the most "central" of the Democratic candidates -- but the guy was in his late seventies; it should have been established he would be a one-term President and a succession plan should have been developed. Him deciding to stay on for another term when voters were telling the Democrats in very clear terms (for more than one year) that he was too old and didn't have support was their undoing. It was plain to everyone long before the debate that Biden was slowing down, both physically and mentally. Simple malpractice they left themselves only 100 days to the general election without a clear successor. People can argue Harris was always the clear successor -- I disagree. With a formal primary or open convention I don't think there's any way Harris would have been chosen over someone like Shapiro or Gavin Newsom.

November 6, 20241 yr Author Hate the outcome all you want to but this is undeniably a good start If Trump can restrengthen our relationship with India, and weaken their growing friendship with China at all, then that's a very good thing for all of US.

November 6, 20241 yr For those question why I thought there was monkey business in 2020, here are some numbers. I haven't double checked, but assuming they're accurate, it points to shenanigans in the 2020 election.

November 6, 20241 yr "It's the economy, stupid." Economy and high prices A platform of how bad Trump is but not a lot of real answers wasn't enough Someone said earlier turning the woke stuff down from volume 11 to half that might help Don't demonize men, whites, Christians Don't cater to LGBT issues as much when they are a smaller population. Trans people are less than 1% of the population Can't ignore the immigration problem. The right over-emphasizes it as well, but you have to meet people in the middle and acknowledge the problem and how you plan to address it It's hard for a candidate to talk about changing things when she's also the current VP. People asked, what are you doing now to change things? Harris was style (if that) and no substance Harris came off phony with the different accents, affect and performance and didn't connect with enough voters The stuff people get worked up about (JD Vance in a donut shop, Walz is a coach and father, Trump's rants and rambles, Harris likes hip hop and wears converse) don't matter. Most people are moderate and vote for what helps them financially. A lot of people just vote the same party no matter what. The tweet zuker shared earlier was spot on: this is a clear message to Democrats that they do not focus on what voters care about. If this many people don't care about the things Trump has done and they only care about taxes and the economy then sell America on your plans for what they care about.

By September, no. If you recall, we had the summer of George Floyd riots, which, by the way, many Democratic politicians participated in related protests despite their having locked down their constituents a couple of months earlier.
November 6, 20241 yr Can you believe the hubueris of this woman? She loses the election so she schedules a conference to speak demanding Trump to concede an election he rightfully won!!!
November 6, 20241 yr Author Seems like maybe someone should ask her what she meant by this. The Secret Service maybe?
