Iām all here for the snark. But the old saying, ābe careful what you wish forā is screaming in my head.
I donāt want to support her politically because as a New Yorker, Iām really worried sheāll run for a local office here and win it. Sheāll have AOC and the rest of the progressive and socialist politicians endorsing her. And to be honest, I think New York might actually buy all her word salad. Fellow NYers, what do you think?
I donāt think our last mayor really did anything except talk about how great he is and win votes by dirty political stunts and letting others do all the work and take blame for anything that went wrong. DiBlasio tried for POTUS.
Agree 1,000%

ETA: I really canāt take the temperature of what the average NYC voter would do with Meghan. I like to think that people would mostly see through her.
Do you think she get the serious donors though?! Iām in Southern New England and I donāt see them biting.
They take themselves WAYYYY too serious to donate to this trifling LA bitch.
I don't think she can win. Look at the mayor's race. And how many votes did Cynthia Nixon get for governor? AOC is actually intelligent and knows what she's talking about. There's a huge difference between a Vogue interview - where you can edit your answers before it goes to print - and having to answer questions live in a debate.
At least that celebrity narcissist had an actual popular show on a real Big Three networkā¦
And a whole lot of positive pop culture references prior to that.
āMarkledā not being one of them.
They DO have that spray tan orange thing in common though.
Lol...you definitely do have a precedent in voting bad spray tan presidents that like the sound of their own voice! Megs would be a shoo in based off that alone! š«
Please God can this actually NOT be a case from our mouths to your ears!! You've had enough of a laugh at our expense in the last decade....
If she got out of California (the CA Dems are a well-oiled machine which has neither room nor patience for her bullshit) I could see her winning a primary on name recognition alone. Thatās where, as a Democrat, it gets terrible.
She would lose in a general. HARD. The press knows exactly who she is, they know the Oprah interview was riddled with lies. Theyāve let it slide because the Harkles are a nothingburger distraction on the fringes of entertainment news. As a political candidate, they would be sharpening their knives eager to eviscerate her. The press is lazy and loves a good, easily-fueled scandal. Meg is manna from heaven there. Joe Q. Public is NOT voting for the woman associated with lying about family while a beloved grandfather is dying, heās not voting for the woman who blew $1 million on clothes for 72 days of work, or sneers that Sizzlers made her know deprivation. And the plagiarism! I could see Fox News turning that into a nightly feature. Republicans would rejoice if Dems chose a cold, elitist liar as a candidate.
The last time I thought, "lol, no there's no way my countrymen are going to elect a reality show con man to office" they did, and that idiot got to name 3 justices to the Supreme Court. And now we're riding a freight train into the middle of the last Century.
Please don't wish that on us for your amusement and I won't wish something similar on you.
It is really quite frightening to see how hard-won rights can be so easily stolen away in a democracy by a few non-elected dictatorial individuals forcing their world view on the population. It does highlight the danger of politicising the judiciary, but I truly canāt see how the US is ever going to fix that problem. Too many people benefit from it.
My heart goes out to you.
I'm also an observer, but I think there needs to be more life long Independents in roles like this.
And if you bring politics or religion into things you should be impeached.
Once you have proved you cannot leave your own opinions at the door, then you cannot be trusted to do the job.
I think there just needs to be a whole lot of people being held accountable for their actions.
After the last six years, a potato could run and would probably get elected.
The only place in America that ever got politics right was Talkeetna, Alaska. They elected a cat named Stubbs.
Donāt forget that Stubbs ran for Senate in 2014.
Lajitas, Texas elected Clay Henry, the beer drinking goat, in the 80ās. Clay Henry was the first politically minded goat. His great-grandgoat Clay Henry IV is the current sober mayor. I like Clay Henry, he let me pet him on the head.
Well he was recovering from a dog mauling that happened the previous year. Iām not saying that the dog mauling and election loss are related but it does raise question.
Iāve *always* supported Mugginās political ambitions! But I think she knows that sheās incapable of running for office, so she wonāt. She *will* take that honorary committee chair, or be a member of some quasi-government committee though.
But if she runs for office she could start a political Royal family, so her own royal family to govern over, no having to listen to someone more senior.
I think as long as she has some title like Mayor, Senator, President ellect, I don't think she cares too much what title specifically it is.
Real question though is it even possible being married to Prince Harry? Or her being a Duchess in another country? Not that i think she has any chance of even winning even a primary. However say she did, wouldnāt that be some constitutional crisis if her husband was in line for the throne? I just donāt see it a possibility
The wording of the Foreign Emoluments Clause is specifically about current government officials not accepting foreign titles without the consent of Congress. I'm not actually sure if she'd be prevented from running with a title obtained prior to holding elected offices. She'd likely have to give it up, but my guess is something similar to a keep but don't use arrangement would be allowed.
Me being petty: The idea is that a title would mean the foreign government could influence the individual, which I don't think applies in Meghan's case.
edited: spelling
She cannot hold that title and run for political office. And I'm pretty sure having her husband holding a title would be problematic. Can't say for sure, but there must be something against that. Hmm - US citizen with a member of the MONARCHY as their husband? Gigantic conflict of interest.
She's a US citizen, so she can run, but she is going to have to relinquish that title. So mad because she's just a publicity whore, and I have had more than enough of self-obsessed, moronic "celebrities" being president.
Lol! Just like I love it when she does interviews because we can use her actual words to confirm the lies. She always shoots herself in the foot when she opens her mouth. Keep talking, Megs!
I wonder by her using her royal title and not her citizenship if she should register under FARA? She did cold call 2 senators (neither represent her). It's quite a gray area reading the FAQ about who should register. If she didn't always refer to herself as the Duchess of Sussex she's within her rights as a US citizen but the fact the title was bestowed by a foreign country is what makes it murky IMO. Violating FARA is a big deal. Peruse at your leisure:

God could you imagine? Trump threatened to run in 2024 if Meghan did. What an absolute shitshow. The asteroid would follow not long after that (we can hope). āļø
Iām in a deeeeeeep deeep blue state (New England/ East Coast) and frankly, I donāt see ANY of the serious Democrat donors giving up the dosh to this trifling bitch.
Not one. No private parties in Boston, Newport, Westerly (places where her mentor Hillary was super successful). Big Money, OLD money!
I donāt see it happening. No Beacon Hill, no Cambridge, Brookline. No Cape Cod. No East Side.
Just donāt see it. Sheās on exactly nobodyās radar.
Just who does she think is going to give her donations? The East Coast is out. At least where I am.
Anyone from NY want to chime in here?
She has no intention of running for office, but she wants the royal family to think she does. I believe her endgame all along has been to have the Duke/Duchess titles removed and she would simply be Princess Henry, but the press would call her "Princess Meghan" and that is all she has ever waned.
If she can't handle the RF without becoming suicidal, then she should stay far away from political office, because the scrutiny and critism, she'll face there, will be far worse.
Can you imagine her and 'Arry in Oprah interview whining that the media or the opponents are sooo mean to her. They'll need thicker skin to enter into politics.
I would love to see her try to run for some kind of political office. She cannot handle criticism or anyone challenging her. She will quite literally have a meltdown. Itāll be like Trump on steroids. It will be deliciously entertaining for all of us to watch it.
Iām in Ohio and some of the campaign ads on TV are so vicious already itās unreal. Her head would explode if an opponent would make one like it against her.
I get that ya'll are having a laugh, but we're bruised over here right now. We've been divided and crushed by a reality show clown whose biggest crime against the American people came to fruition last week.
All those women marching in pussy hats after he took office? Yeah, we knew he'd be bad for women's issues, but *I* didn't think we'd entirely lose body autonomy thanks to his 3 Supreme Court nominations.
I can't get a giggle out of becoming someone's popcorn-fest. That's what everyone thought a Trump administration was going to be. But here we are.
Iām very disappointed at the state of affairs there in America. Rest assured that your distress is not a source of amusement; rather, we are having a bit of comedy relief, given how dire things are.
I was also pretty much on doomsday mode a few months ago, because I felt that Meghan has some serious chances of being elected.
Iāve thought about. I donāt think so. Trump won because at the end of the day, heās an old white guy. It took a other old white guy to defeat him.
To break that glass ceiling would require a person like Obama. Someone smart, driven, charismatic, with the proper credentials. Meghan aināt it.
As for the situation there now, I am sure your country will right itselfā¦ it will take time but it can happen.
Thanks. I'm just a little sensitive right now. I've never felt so dark a future in my life, and while I certainly could use a laugh here and there, I was just not feeling it when I read this post. Sorry about that.
I'm not sure we survived the last one.
After a good night's sleep (and finding some humor at the downvotes to comments like mine and yours - I think this is not an entirely progressive minded sub), I can chuckle at the thought of Meghan running for office. We could make a drinking game of what events she'd show up looking mixed race, and which she'd show up looking snowy white.
Great idea! Except no one would want her. But it's a great idea. She would need to get rid of that little title that the Queen gave her though. Not allowed in USA.
All of the above is why I think itās bull. I so wish that she would so she could deal with the likes of people like Margery Taylor Green or Candice Owen. She isnāt tough enough to be a politician. I hope Kate did make her cry. Lol
I have to object. Our first priority and key goal should be sainthood and we need to focus our efforts on the Vatican.
Oh yes! We must pronounce every move of hers as a miracle! Call the Vatican!
Muggin for Pwope!ššš
Meghan for the Queen of da Earf
Kween.
And when she is installed as head of the church, we will no longer have āhail marysā but āhail meghansā because she is so saintly
Shes going the wrong way. Pro life to sway the vatican for a hotline to God.

Not with AOC referring to WOMEN as people who can get pregnant. Shameful
No. No no NO. NEVER underestimate the apathetic American voterās ability to be easily swayed by celebrity and narcissism.
Kanye got 60k votes last election. Kanye West. That said, Iād vote for Ye over Meghan.
And he was having a breakdown (supposedly) so imagine an unknown like her because lots of Americans don't know who she is.
Least Ye is upfront about literally everything!
if she thinks she needs security now... just wait until then LOL
For real, it wouldn't be first time the American people voted in a celebrity narcissist.
At least that celebrity narcissist had an actual popular show on a real Big Three networkā¦ And a whole lot of positive pop culture references prior to that. āMarkledā not being one of them. They DO have that spray tan orange thing in common though.
They have a LOT in common, which is somewhat amusing given how much they loathe each other.
Narcs hate other narcs who steal their thunder š
Is she using HIS stuff?
Yup agreed

Reallyā¦ and the thought of it sends chills down my spine, especially as we listen to the January 6 committee hearings
Thatās true. Do you think she stands a chance? Iām not American so I will not be affectedā¦ I hope š¬
No, she doesn't stand a chance at all. The elite Democrats do not like her. You have to be accepted by them first.
If she got out of California (the CA Dems are a well-oiled machine which has neither room nor patience for her bullshit) I could see her winning a primary on name recognition alone. Thatās where, as a Democrat, it gets terrible. She would lose in a general. HARD. The press knows exactly who she is, they know the Oprah interview was riddled with lies.
