  • Dems have no choice but to confirm her through.

    That was the Bernie plan in 2016 & 2020 during the primaries. Clinton had the support of the established Democratic party and with superdelegates Clinton took a commanding lead. Similar situation with Biden, most dropped out before Super Tuesday and endorsed him.

    Now both of these instances could be considered “smart politics”. If you’ve got the political maneuvering to win the primary, then maybe you’ve got the same maneuvering to win the general.

    It didn’t work out for Clinton. It did work out for Biden.

    When we look at our most recent election, it’s clear there was a little bit more of a rift, but Harris was chosen and there was no primary.

    Now, some of this is simplified and there is plenty to argue. But suffice to say we can’t just vote for AOC “so much” that she’ll win. I don’t see the Democratic party supporting her.

    Now it’s too early to talk about 2028 realistically and a lot can change between now and then, but if she were running today she’d have my vote.

    Because that’s what makes it funny.

    Any real brand would work, but “Have a Let’s™ Brand Potato Chip” reminds you that it’s fake. By having a real brand you have that brief moment of confusion before realizing it must be fake, but it’s funny to think about the “what if”.

    If it is real advertising, then kudos to Cinnabon for being early to the game. It will be like Branded Twitter accounts where Wendy’s capitalized early, it was funny, but now no one cares.
