George Clooney says there should have been a Democratic primary after Biden dropped out Anonymous 04/17/2025 (Thu) 12:53:22 Id: dacb90 No. 25176
CNN — Actor and major Democratic donor George Clooney told CNN there should have been a primary election last summer after then-President Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, while sharing which Democrat has caught his attention for 2028. Clooney’s comments, made in a sit-down interview Tuesday with CNN’s Jake Tapper, come as Democrats seek to correct their mistakes from the last election – in which they also lost the Senate to Republicans – and to coalesce around a strong message for 2028. “How they were running was that it was a failed administration,” Clooney said on “The Lead” of the campaign that former Vice President Kamala Harris inherited after Biden immediately threw his support behind her. “You can’t run against yourself, right? And that’s why that was a difficult campaign. It’s hard to run against yourself and say, ‘Well, I disagree with all this.’” Clooney is seen by many Democratic backers in Hollywood as a sort of compass given his engagement and activism. When he penned a New York Times op-ed last summer calling for Biden to not seek reelection, it marked a watershed moment in a movement that ended with the president’s decision to exit the race. Instead of Harris inheriting the ticket, Clooney argued there should have been a race for the Democratic nomination. While he contended that Harris could have won a primary, Clooney said he had his eye on one particular governor. “I think we have some really good governors,” Clooney said, adding that he would’ve liked to see a “quick primary” and naming Andy Beshear, the governor of his home state of Kentucky, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. “But who I think is … levitating above that is Wes Moore,” Clooney said, referring to the Democratic governor from Maryland and pointing to his handling of last year’s Baltimore bridge collapse. “He’s a proper leader. … I like him a lot. I think he could be someone we could all join in behind.” Clooney also stressed that now is the time for Democrats to find their next leader. “We have to find somebody – rather soon,” he said, adding, “It’s our job now to put together a proper team to stand up.” Clooney headlined a star-studded fundraiser for Biden’s reelection campaign last June. But just weeks later, following Biden’s disastrous performance against Donald Trump at CNN’s presidential debate, the actor wrote the stunning New York Times op-ed, which he described Tuesday as a “civic duty.” “Because I found that people on my side of the street – you know, I’m a Democrat. I was a Democrat in Kentucky, so I get it – when I saw people on my side of the street not telling the truth, I thought that was time,” Clooney told Tapper. In his op-ed last summer, Clooney – who has a long friendship with Biden – cast doubt on the president’s fitness and stressed he was “was not the Joe ‘big F-ing deal’ Biden of 2010.” “He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020,” Clooney wrote. Biden would ultimately drop out just weeks later, and Clooney quickly endorsed Harris. In the op-ed, Clooney similarly called for a Democratic primary, writing that the country deserves to hear from other politicians seen as potential replacements for Biden, including Harris, Moore, Whitmer and Beshear. Clooney draws parallels between his play and the state of politics Clooney spoke with Tapper from New York City’s Winter Garden Theatre, where he is starring in “Good Night, and Good Luck,” a Broadway adaptation of the 2005 movie he directed of the same name. It is based on veteran journalist Edward R. Murrow’s work and tension with Republican Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare of the 1950s. Stressing Murrow’s commitment to the truth and the role of the Fourth Estate in preserving democracy, Clooney said the journalist’s words are still powerful. “It doesn’t matter what political bend you are on – when you hear things like, you know, ‘We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. We must remember always that accusation is not proof and a conviction depends on evidence and due process of law, and we will not walk in fear of one another. We won’t be driven by fear into an age of unreason,’ I think those are extraordinarily powerful words for who we are at our best,” Clooney said. When asked by Tapper how Clooney and his team put together a montage in the play that spotlights news clips from various decades – which includes Tapper himself criticizing those who quash dissent, along with people defending Biden’s fitness – Clooney said a large chunk of it is about “how we decide to inform ourselves.” “It relates all the way to this point we’re at right now, which is: It’s not just about trying to, you know, fix … questionable problems,” Clooney said, later adding, “I thought that the montage, in a way, was us slowly understanding how we all participated in … this idea of the wild, wild West.”
>coulda, shoulda, woulda too little too late, clowney
>>25176 He looks like kevin spacey now kek
It's amazing they haven't flushed this pathetic faggot for being a White male yet. George Cloony is about as relevant or interesting to me as plankton fucking. Could there be a more out of touch cocksucking rich faggot in the universe?
OP, please compact your formatting a little, it's just lazy. I don't give much of a fuck about Clooney, he's not very important in the grand scheme. If you're interested in actual leftists engaging in actual criticism and thought about problems with the left in the USA then I'd suggest listening/watching doom scroll on youtube, the interview with Briahna Joy Gray was a good one, she's been fired before for criticising Israel.
>>25176 If there were primaries Newsom would have won and Trump would have obliterated him. Dems would be without a good candidate for 2028. Now Trump fucked up the economy while taking a shit on his voters and Dems will probably win the midterms in both houses. Newsom can run against Vance comfortably. The same Vance whose political career is being a corporate legal clerk all his life and a senator for a year, a position that that Thiel bought him.
>>25176 dems be like: <we love heckin biden hes not old! >drops out <oh good now that hes out of the way we can slob over kamala who we all love and totally asked for! >loses <we shouldve had a primary you get what you deserve
>>25176 George looking like a ghoul
>>25176 He'll be running for president. Or maybe his wife.
>>25820 >Or maybe his wife. wife? It will be Obama fagshow but with white dude now
>>25176 >and to coalesce around a strong message for 2028 They are incapable of strength. It is going to be more milquetoast corporate dogshit and they are going to lose again.
>>25176 Lol in hindsight everyone's smart af
>>25176 He shouldn't dye his hair. He looks like a meth head that aged too fast.
>>25176 obviously there should have been. there wasn't though, and lamenting it afterwards instead of trying to force it before the disaster happens is pathetic
>>25580 Clooney has more influence on the Democratic party than Obama.
Wasn't it too late by the democrat's own party rules, to hold a new primary? I'm sure I remember reading that it was too late, and they quietly changed/ignored their rules to instate kamala (after all it was Her Turn)

Democrats have all the indications of a Cult they " mentally edit " the past in their head Canon. >Calls you a Trump supporting Nazi and threatens your career if you suggest Sleepy Joe has dementia >>Calls you a Nazi and threatens to burn your house if you suggest Sleep Joe should not run. >>Calls you a Nazi who supports Trump if you suggest there should at least be a Primary. >>>Calls you a Nazi and threatens you children if you don't support the quick change switcher-roo of Kamala . >>>>Threatens to kill you as a RACIST !! and a BIGOT !! for thinking it is wrong for installing Kamala with no primary .>>>Think it's a Good Campaign for her to spend $1.3 Billion on celebrity endorsements and her only appearance out side of the Celebrity bubble was the podcast ' Choke Me Daddy". Now sit in wonderment after she lost and be "Baffled" why no one fixed the mistakes you made ... for you ... that you threatened to kill them if you did
>>27380 feels like all libshits follow the exact same playbook, because they do the same over here, too first you're wrong and that never happened, you should be exiled from society for saying that then it happened but it wasn't so bad, you should be exiled from society for trying to make it a big deal then it was bad but actually it was your fault, so you should still be exiled from society
>>25176 They have learned nothing. Now dems are placing at the top of their messaging the deportation of an illegal because he's in muh danger or whatever. Like people will vote for them over that.
>>25580 I always thought she was fired because she had no talent, low intelligence, intellectually lazy, one of the worst interviewers around (insulting people to their faces, without justification, etc), and ultimately was getting trashed in the comments section every time she opened her mouth for a segment. An obvious DEI hire. If you have literally zero positives, AND you trash Israel, then yeah youre probably on your way to the can.
>>27441 It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
All the media commentators are DEAD wrong about how Kamala lost because she didn’t get a full campaign season. BULLSHIT. The fact is, Kamala LOST over 6 MILLION voters vs Biden in 2020 (Trump gained 3 million). I maintained then and still do that bullying Biden out of the race was a HORRIBLE mistake for the Democrats. However, I still think Trump would have won anyway, it just wouldn’t have been such a sweeping victory. The media really wasn’t mobilizing the voters back then like they are now (because Trump fucked around with the gargantuan public sector unions and is now finding out). I think, ultimately, it was the recent hyper-focus on woke shit which alienated too many young male voters from their own left-wing media and social spaces — so they stayed home on voting day. Putting a woman POC in front of voters just alienated them further. Of course all the retards take all the wrong lessons. Democrats will still push the woke shit because their side is in almost total power in society — but just being in power in society doesn’t directly translate into election wins as we plainly witnessed. BUT, Republicans are also acting like retards buying their own bullshit about a major cultural shift to the right — THAT’S NOT FUCKING TRUE, again, as we are plainly witnessing right now. What happened was that KAMALA lost 6 million voters, mostly alienated young men, BUT if the election would be run again now it would be a BLOW OUT victory for Kamala — because the media is in full war propaganda mode with gigantic Democrat influence networks turning out giant mobs. Because the left is so much in power and is now agitated, the minority right is also shriveling up / cowering away. I’m sure all Americans in this thread who know MAGA voters likely all can tell stories of MAGA voters turning against Trump. This is the reality of power dynamics in society.
>celebrity George Clooney Who gives a fuck? This is literally bottom of the barrel shit. MAGAts are really struggling to justify their actions I see.
>>25176 The Dems focused too much on social issues like Abortion, Gays/Trannies, and feminism that it was easy to see why they got tanked by the Repubs in 2024. Not enough focus on the economy, immigration, and tackling the tech oligarchs. Then again the duopoly in America is intended to distract Americans from the actual issues plaguing the country; an ogliarchy and large gaps between the rich and the middle class, and the fact that Zionists control most aspects of American's life. Tech giants solidify the control by the zionists and seek to protect Israel at any costs and to enrich themselves. We are truly in the Tech Guilded Age of the 21st century.
Democrat primaries literally mean nothing so long as they have those "super-delegates".

>>29114 >Not enough focus on the economy, immigration, and tackling the tech oligarchs. Which is why MAGAts voted for the guy who is actively tanking the economy, is walking back his anti-immigration policies and is cozying up to the same techbro billionaire oligarchs Rightoids claim to hate? All this might make someone think you guys aren't taking this seriously.
Didn't he die few weeks ago?
>>25176 As soon as Trump stood up yelling fight fight fight and surviving the attempt on his life he won the election. There is nothing the dnc could have done to won. Them using the nigger bitch losing as a pawn to move away from the pozzed aspects of the progressive faggots that ruined the party. It’s the best strategy for them at this point but they will double down on being retards
>>28734 Plus fucking hedonism: >Don't you wanna' mix race, bro? >Don't you luv femboys? >Why are segregating the retards? <Waaaah, leave us alone and let us go full sterile and destroy the nation at once

>>28762 >Kamala LOST over 6 MILLION voters vs Biden in 2020 Those voters didn't exist. That was the fraud. >MAGA voters turning against Trump. Those voters don't exist, either. MAGA voters are getting exactly what they voted for, and are happy about it.
>>29372 Ridiculous. How the hell could you just come up with 6 million people and then just lose them without the world getting word? People would notice.
>>29299 Sterility is counterintuitive to true hedonism, which is a worship of abundance and excess. A true hedonist would be a natalist or even hypernatalist, like a "Johnny Appleseed"

>>25176 dam he looks like shit now. but also no fucking shit. i'm 100% they put up the alchy whore pajeeta that was larping as a fucking nigger in order to lose on purpose; for the house and senate i guess. if it was about the money they had they could have given everyone a refund and would have gotten all the money back and more. fucking retards.
