The vice president told a crowd of roughly 20,000 in Dallas that former President Donald J. Trump had said he would terminate the Constitution in a second term.

“Consider: Donald Trump has openly vowed if re-elected he’ll be a dictator on day one, that he will weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies, round up peaceful protesters and throw them out of our country and even, and even and I quote, ‘terminate’ the United States Constitution,” Ms. Harris said.

      Name a progressive who is throwing their hat in the ring who can win with no fundraising apparatus set up 4 months before the election.

      I’ll wait.

        Of your requirement is “already throwing their hat into the ring” then of course you’re not going to get any replies. No one is going to seriously contest the current president publicly at the moment.

          Even if they had thrown their hat in the ring now, they still would have 4 months to out raise and outspend Trump without access to any of the money already raised.

          Kamala is the only one with a chance.

            Would money raised for Biden not be able to be transferred to the eventual nominee if he steps down? I’m sure they would have access to DNC funds.

              They would have access to DNC funding but essentially none of the Biden money that has been raised.

          I don’t know about a lot.

          If somebody can so easily flip back and forth between democratic socialism and fascism, they are likely an idiot, and I am not sure how many idiots actually supported Bernie. I suspect not as many as the other candidates ran.

              People who can switch so heavily between opposing systems as the surrounding political winds change ate people who have the luxary to do so. The bulk of people who are fascists are almost never poor.
