He’d get my vote…
I mean if Al is going to take over this country anyway, might as well be this one. Or the weird one.
Me? I’d vote for him. Liked what I saw while he was in congress. Still think it was bs how he was pushed out before any actual investigation was done, if memory serves me correctly.
It was another case of Democrats following the rules, setting an example of decency only for Republicans to go “Hm neat! Anyway, here’s a rapist for president”
If we’re going with a comedian, I’d sooner pick Jon Stewart. That is assuming he’d even want to do it.
Jon / Al ticket would be amazing they are both smarter and kinder than any politican out there.
A comedian is perfect for today’s sound bites and excerpts. Him clowning on trump up until the election would be perfect for the TV ratings these networks want. A witty, charismatic guy would win this
Unfortunately Al Franken was sacrificed by leading democratic women on the wave of me too, on accusations staged by the Republicans.
Because Al Franken was one of the absolute most effective voices against the Republican madness.Hello Gillibrand. Are you happy now? Did this boost your career like you hoped it would?
As a European, I never heard of this guy and it’s probably not a perfect candidate either. But just based on what’s written in the article it might indeed be a valid option to consider although personally I’d wish for a more progressive US leader.
Reading comments regarding the presidential election on social media, the thing you literally read the most is that people want someone younger that is neither Trump nor Biden. This guy is still old but apparantly around a decade younger. He’s not Biden and not Trump and still somewhat popular across different generations. Might work out.
Al Franken was possibly the most effective voice against Republican extremism. But he was sacrificed on Republican staged offense on the height of the wave of the me too movement.
Ugh, I just got done listening to the portion in the audiobook for Maher’s book where he goes over how the #metoo thing was only really a weapon used against Democrats and talks about Franken.
I’d love to see Franken run, but the depressing fact is that he was thrown under the bus for a ridiculous overreaction called the #metoo thing, and there will be many so-called feminists coming for him with guns blazing.
Ah yes, the me too movement went too far. I mean it’s nice and all to bring attention to the fact that 1 in 3 women get SA’d, while only 3/100 perpetrators see prison. But tragically, in all the confusion, some millionaire celebrities faced consequences, perhaps even unfairly.
Replacing Biden with a white man and making it unlikely that Harris would end up as President is a recipe for breaking the Democratic coalition. Probably not a good move.
Harris was the first to drop out of the last Primary. Do people really think that she is what the majority of Democrats wanted?
Oh, she’s pro locking up more people and making the Drug War even bigger by continuing to go after chronic pain patients and people who need medication after surgeries.
She ticked the correct policy boxes of big business and prison labor way before her superficial looks allowed an old racist like Biden tokenize her.
