Yes, but also I don’t think the Democrats have any stronger candidate to run against Republicans. Most of them can’t even meaningfully speak against Trump. If they run another wishy-washy centrist there’s a much greater chance that they lose to disillusionment yet again. AOC is the closest they have to Bernie Sanders and they’d either be idiots or snakes to not do so. Personally, she’s probably the only potential presidential hopeful out there who I would enthusiastically vote for.

This is a real problem. Who’s in the national Democratic pipeline? Biden kind of sucked the life out of anyone associated with him - Anthony Blinken? Lloyd Austin? Pete Buttigeig was the closest thing Biden had to an attack dog, but he keeps losing elections and I don’t know what he’s doing now. I thought Katie Porter was cool for a while, but she blew her run for senate and is currently choking on a run for governor of California. Bernie’s too old.
Tim Walz seems to have gotten scared off by his colleagues who were assassinated, and he’s not running for reelection as governor and has largely pulled back. He appears to be prepping for retirement at this point
You know, I always thought the prevailing wisdom was that assassination was counterproductive as a political tactic because the faction doing it would lose the moral high ground and galvanize everyone against their cause, but it’s funny how that doesn’t seem to have been true lately.

They have proven themselves at this point to be both.

I don’t even know who else is out there.
Tim Walz, maybe, if he quits listening to the neolib assholes giving him shitty advice?
I really wish he hadn’t stopped calling Vance “weird”, that was actually fucking working.

Honestly hunter biden or J.B. Pritzker aka the great khan of Illinois
Illinois-ian here.
We need prizker where he is.
There is such a thing as being promoted out of ones best place.
He’s where he should be.
Both are bought and paid-for zionists.
