    Ramaswamy’s super weird. He’s a superficial corporate candidate that came out of nowhere. Most of what he does is say he agrees with trump. He also wants to raise the voting age to hold off zoomers from voting for a couple years.

        I feel like they’re all doing that or campaigning for cabinet positions. I would be surprised if any of them were actually deluded enough to think they could beat Trump. That, or they’re holding out hope that his legal troubles stop him from being the candidate.

      he’s, by far, the least bad one lol. I wouldnt be surprised he came out on top, although he may be too soft on china/rusia. The other ones are complete ghouls screaming who is more warmonger than the other.

        I wouldn’t be surprised. I heard the Modi regime is trying to become the next Zionist lobby. They want to make “Indian” synonymous with Hindu and increase Islamophobia. He’s probably funded by them as an Indian far-right politician. I know Tulsi Gabbard is. (I think both are posturing “anti-war” [anti-ukraine], but hawkish on China and “Israel.”)

      The Republicans trot out one of these types every election – somebody who by any real metric is just another Bush Era Conservative, but who also mouths whatever dumb kind of pseudo-populism happens to be in vogue on the fringes of the party. They’re almost always women or minorities: Sarah Palin was one of the first, then we got Michelle Bachmann, Ben Carson, etc. And for about a month suburban wine moms and soccer dads go into ecstasies on social media about how “this is true political INNOVATION, we Republicans are the ones with REAL diversity” and many other such inanities, only to fall in at last behind whatever bland mainstream candidate the party leadership has been grooming all along.

        Yeah, “I’m young and different, but also want to keep all the young and different people out of the country and out of politics.”
