Enjoy honest debates with the Left, but usually it breaks down into histrionics, straw-man arguments and petty insults. And the others guys are bad too.

Stop it. I canβt take anymore. π€£
And I do NOT apologize in advance for appropriating a meme featuring a black woman, because I am not a race-obsessed, Liberal, elitist loon.
She was absolutely not the first choice of Obama, Pelosi or the other leaders of the party, but they couldnβt replace her without facing the wrath of James Clyburn, the Congressional Black Caucus and the majority of black voters.
Itβs 20% white men getting the nomination in the last 5 elections.
Obama was nominated twice.
Hillary Clinton is not a male so how could she benefit from by the White βPatriarchyβ.
Joe Biden, was pushed out by Obama and Pelosi. His white male privilege wasnβt of much help.
And Kamala was hand selected by the DNC.

Youβre conveniently ignoring Obama in 2008 and 2012 as well as Hillary Clinton in 2016. In fact, only one of the past five Democrat nominees for President has been a white male and he only got the opportunity because of black women. Your argument is 20 years out of date.
I agree that early polls are a poor indication of who will get the nomination (see Jeb Bush in 2016 and Hillary in 2008), but the OP said Gavin Newsome is the front runner, but that is not supported by currently available facts.
Are you saying that Kamala Harris was the single exception to

As such, I know the Presidentβs authority is determined by the Constitution and Federal statutes, not βdeep political cultureβ whatever the hell that is. You obviously donβt like Trump federalizing the DC police, but your opinion is irrelevant. He has the authority to do it.

Is crime different in Illinois than it is in DC?
Did you have an issue when Hochul did it because of out of control crime on the NYC subway system?
Whatβs your point? Pritzker had authority to activate the guard under Illinois state law. Trump has authority to activate the guard under Federal law.

He doesnβt get the endorsement without Kamala Harris and Ketanji Brown-Jackson.
Newsome is consistently third in polling. No other straight white male is above 4-5% in any poll.

The fact remains, Trump can Federalize DC and there is nothing that the Libs or the judges can do to stop it.
