I’m imagining the perfect VP pick:
- Long history of public service
- Military experience
- Anti-Apartheid
- Cancer survivor
- Nobel Prize
That’s right, this is peak VP performance:
It’s his turn

Carter’s Revenge, he is going to 100% get rid of Kamala and establish the American-Polish Soviet Union. And then he is going to nuclear strike Iran, but he will probably lift sanctions from Cuba and DPRK.
in a 1977 Speech in Warsaw, U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s translator mistranslated several remarks, stating that President Carter had abandonded the U.S never to return, and that he wished to get to know the Polish people ‘carnally’.
He’s also a CCP bot:
“And do you know why? I normalized diplomatic relations with China in 1979. Since 1979 do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody? None. And we have stayed at war,” he said. The U.S., Carter said, has been at war for all but 16 years of its 242-year history. He called the United States “the most warlike nation in the history of the world,” because of a tendency to try to force others to “adopt our American principles.”
Carter suggested that instead of war, China has been investing in its own infrastructure, mentioning that China has 18,000 miles of high-speed railroad.
“How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?”
Zero, the congregation answered.
“We have wasted I think $3 trillion,” Carter said of American military spending. “… It’s more than you can imagine. China has not wasted a single penny on war and that’s why they’re ahead of us. In almost every way.
And a DPRK apologist:
“And the North Koreans suffered because the United States did everything possible to destroy their economy. And we did everything possible to boost South Korea’s economy. And so we condemn North Korea because its economy is lagging behind and its people are starving.”
And a Chavista:
“Electoral process in Venezuela is the best in the world." The comments were made in 2012, just three weeks before Venezuelans re-elected Chávez for his last term in office.
“There are 92 elections that we monitor, I would say that the electoral process in Venezuela is the best in the world,” he said in an annual speech at the Carter Center in Atlanta. He stressed that the system is fully automated, which makes counting faster.
At the time, Carter also revealed his opinion that in the US “we have one of the worst electoral processes in the world, and it’s almost entirely due to the excessive inflow of money,” he said, referring to the lack of control over private campaign donations.
The Carter Center was one of the only Western NGOs to declare that the 2004 referendum in Venezuela (an attempted legislative coup, following the failure of the military coup in 2002) was fair and free.
And Hamas:
In his book Carter argues that Israel’s continued control and construction of settlements have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Middle East. That perspective, coupled with the use of the word Apartheid in the titular phrase Peace Not Apartheid, and what critics said were errors and misstatements in the book, sparked controversy. Carter has defended his book and countered that response to it “in the real world…has been overwhelmingly positive.”
Damn I had no idea Carter was so…aware? I mean it’s unusual for ex-officials to not just parrot the imperialist propaganda about their enemies.
I’ve always maintained that, although all US Presidents are going to Hell, Carter is the only one who seems to be aware of it (and is genuinely repentant).
has he said anything about east timor?
He did support Indonesia and the East Timor genocide when he was President. But he also supported East Timor independence (during the 1990’s) and was critical on reporting the 1999 massacre, which is weird.

Good advice if you think Harris has 0% of winning and by hitching his wagon on a losing campaign, the liberals can use Sanders as a scapegoat for why Harris failed to deliver.
Those damn Bernie Bros have tanked another completely flawless woman’s bid for the presidency.
From the article: "We “exist in the context of everything that has come before us.” Karl Marx himself couldn’t have said it better. "
He literally did say it better, over a hundred years before. Shut the FUCK up.
here’s how Bernie can still win! by being VP to the last place loser of the last election, who was 1/10000th as popular!
She could pivot back to her previous support for Medicare for All.
It might happen. And monkeys might fly out of my butt.
Only if they have a time machine and go back and retrieve the one from 30 years ago.
holy shit this was published in jacobin
like I guess they’re the only ones who would do this since main stream publications hate Bernie but this has the same energy as Sorkin’s “nominate Romney” op ed
lol as if the DNC elite HATE Sanders with a burning rage.
A demsoc cozying up to a cop?
Counterpoint: Shutup, loser.
The last thing the party elites would want is Bernie in a position where he could become the de facto leader of the party if something happened to Kamala.
more like Ben Stoogeis
The last thing she deserves is any leftish validatio for continuing to do the same shit.
adding validatio: portmanteau of validation and fellatio to my vocab
okay fr is there a point to Jacobin
just another relic of the 2010s liberal-democratic socialist movement, completely irrelevant to anything going on now, with the anticapitalist left having radicalised and developed a lot more than Jacobin has.
Yeah and Ben Burgis in particular. Debate perverts are an insane relic at this point in time, when was the last time anyone was able to convince you about anything lmao discourse is completely shattered as a mechanism for resolving differences, at least for the mostpart
Its lukewarm demsoc but not full on CHUD and the layout is fairly polished with no popups so you can read it at work.
Why so she can take credit for leftist populist policies/gains? Not a chance chief
