I don’t know much about No Labels, but if they are willing to risk Trump 2.0 by splitting the democratic ticket, they are very likely receiving dark money from far-right groups and aren’t a friend of democracy.
No wingnut is voting for this douchebag. He’s not stealing any votes from Trump, whether he sends love notes to Elon Musk or not. He’s probably not taking many votes from Biden either, because few voters who despise Trump (the vast majority) would risk another Trump term by splitting the democratic ticket. Be thankful nobody knows who Dean Phillips is. If Hakeem Jeffries decided to run, the Dems would have to decide what the plan is. Either we all get behind Biden and, like all decent people, hope he enjoys many more years of good health, or support Biden’s choice if he decides to embrace another democrat. I love Joe. But I so wish his age wasn’t so worrisome to voters. Regardless, those concerns obviously shouldn’t translate to a pivot to a 77-year-old conman under a mountain of criminal charges. That’s absurd. There is far more than just 3 years in age dividing Biden from Trump. It’s truly a choice between good and evil.
It's nauseating to see a chucklehead with an inflated ego hop in and offer to save us all by helping yet another chucklehead with an even more inflated ego get elected.
When I see the name "Dean Phillips" I visualize a black-and-white screwball comedy set on a whitebread campus starring B-list actors. Bonzo goes to College?
Thank you for bringing up Bidens razor thin EC margin.THIS is why Ds need to organize & show the hell up yet its almost never brought up. I feel like I'm just screaming 😱 into the void most of the time....and that's before I even start on my personal life - (rimshot please).
If we had legitimate campaign finance laws in this country (see DJT legal fees slush fund) "No Labels" would be up to its ass in trouble. It's a 501c4 so it does not have to disclose its donor list (NPR conveniently puts this info in the last few 'graphs of a long piece from last July: https://www.npr.org/2023/07/22/1189362839/no-labels-americans-elect-third-party).
If Deano wants to be the No Lapels candidate, he's going to have to get himself a Nehru jacket.
(Given that they always looked dorky, even on the early Beatles, I can't understand why he'd want it, but I don't get fashion most of the time anyhow.)
I’ll say it again: Dean Phillips is running to be the next Fox News Democrat. If Trump wins, he’ll be hailed on Hannity as “the brave Democrat who saved us from Biden.”
This "independent" guy is being dictated to by the guys with more money than sense who are funding his campaign. Whatever the last billionaire told him to do if he wants a contribution, that's what he does. He'd put on a tutu and dance in Macy's window if that's what they wanted.
Running for office, even when you have no chance in hell, must be very lucrative? And I'm not convinced that it is all because of Citizens United.

It isn't too dark at all. There's been news articles on funding from such centric luminaries as...the remaining Koch....
Yeah it may not be a secret at all. Probably Republicans who are mildly never-Trump, until they fear the MAGA mob and support him wholeheartedly.

All I need to know about Phillips is that Elon Musk endorsed him. That’s good enough for me to run away screaming.

And here I thought No Labels couldn’t be any horribler.

The "Dean Jones Effect."
The voting against a political party or person is a long time part of the US politics.
I took a course in political science, and it was said people tend to vote against, vs for... That was way back in '71-72???

Thom Hartmann is all over it: https://hartmannreport.com/p/the-no-labels-agenda-is-more-disturbing-d5a
Joe Lieberman is one of the scummiest politicians of the past 50 years and Manchin aspires...
it really never ceases to amaze me how people i've never heard of think they should run the biggest country in the world, based upon zero evidence.
Thom Hartmann pointed out yesterday that for an "independent" party, it's made up of mostly Rethugs...

i loved nehru jackets, and made one in white with a gray skirt about 150 years ago; it was a great look!
Well, in truth, it looks like the Mao jacket of the same era, and Zhou Enlai really rocked that one.

Don’t forget President Jill Stein and how she created the most liberal SCOTUS evah! (Did not run against an incumbent, but close enough.)
She is now.

He's pathetic, is what I'm saying.
Would he run naked through the aisles with a rubber glove on his head saying, “hi, I’m a squid?”
