It would be more interesting if she announced her pregnancy rather than her presidency.

More importantly, establish a platform. So far the only platform the Dems have is "We Hate Trump."

Oh, and make that platform more left-center than far-left, which is where they have drifted.

You must have been under a rock for what, 20-40 years? Dems have had the same platform for decades. Some of their typical talking points:

- Affordable health care for all

- Immigration reform (including path to citizenship for those here illegally)

- Increased gun control

- Likely higher taxes on the rich, tax breaks/zero taxes for the poor

- Increase in renewable energy, decrease in oil/gas

.....etc

None of this has changed lately and won't change with whatever Dem ends up the front runner.

The Democrats have never advocated for "affordable health care" what they have ALWAYS advocated is for some variant of Health INSURANCE not to be confused with actual CARE. The Dems like their counterpart Repubs are deeply committed to maintaining the FOR-PROFIT health insurance gouge (where the US ranks at or near the bottom of every category among OECD nations) because that is precisely what their Masters demand of them.

It is the job, the central social function of the Democrats to always be dangling before the people's noses vague pseudo-hints of possible change, so as to keep them from bolting from bourgeois politics altogether. It is the Democrats' intention to never deliver meaningful change, but rather to keep dangling hints of it alluringly forever. This produces control -- a populace habituated to remain safely within the lines required by ruling class interests.

That's part of the genius of the system- keep throwing out opportunistic carpetbaggers like Trump, Warren, Sanders et al into the political limelight to give the people the false notion that substantive change is right around the corner as long as they lend their support and imaginings to the latest political parasite.

So Elizabeth Warren is running for president? Hmm, well I have reservations.

Maybe you can scalp some tickets to her campaign rallies

That will help keep her wig warm.

To the "Urine....." poster- You are the one who doesn't follow the facts. The DNA test proved that there was Native Indian DNA in her sample. It was small, but family legend had it dating to the 1800s. She did not get a job because of it. The places that she applied to confirmed that. I guess you only watch FOX and read the phony websites that are put forth by Right wingers and Russians.

Do you even understand how DNA works? There was someone who posted on this some time ago and that means that for that generation she would have the potential of having 1024 grandparents. That is just for that generation. the Next Generation would only have 512 grandparents, the Next Generation after that would only have 256 meaning that by the time that drop of blood got to her, she would have had almost 2,000 grandparents passed their DNA on to her.

What do you coach? Does everyone get a participation award where you coach? You clearly do not understand DNA.

Is the Republican party the party of Lincoln? Is it even the same party is was when Reagan was President? Just curious how you compare the two parties.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the First Woman President in 2024, she is the rising star of the Democratic Party.

Her winning would show American ignorance more than trump winning. Nothing will surprise me anymore with this country, but anyone who thinks she's a rising star and intelligent is exactly what's wrong with this country.

Believe it or not, I go to one of the top liberal arts colleges in America, have an IQ of 145, got an SAT score of 2250, and am generally able to tell my a**hole from the ground. Swarthmore College in case you were wondering.

Is she still working two jobs to help keep the unemployment rate low?

Ladies, we’ve got a real winner right here! Who wants to be barefoot and pregnant with this fella?

Cortez IS dumb. I can't decide who is actually dumber ... her or Kamaltoe Harris. I think the nod goes to AOC. Pocahontas is smarter than both of those two put together.[/quote]

Femocrats Warren and Sanders want to turn USA into a socialist country along the lines of utopias like Venezuela. Thats one way to cut the obesity epidemic.

Will President Warren inspire an epic length thread like Trump?

It's already longer!

Elizabeth Warren was recently seen at a Jeep dealership. If you can't be a Cherokee she can at least buy one.

In other news, Obama was recently seen at a Kia dealership. He was trying to buy a Legacy.

I didn’t realize that people got to simply “announce (their) presidency.” Isn’t there a whole process you have to go through to become president?

Once you announce, there is a process that tracks your campaign contributions and the clock starts there.

That's why people make it clear they are not officially running until they do so.

You’re talking about the process of declaring candidacy. OP’s claim is that she’s skipped right over candidacy and announced her presidency.

It doesn’t work this way. You have to actually run and campaign and get elected before you become president. Hillary provides ample evidence that simply declaring yourself to be president and expecting it to happen isn’t a good strategy.
