I haven't looked much into him yet but he checks a lot of good boxes.

Is he someone that leftists could back?

Is there any dirt that people have dug up that I'm not aware of?

If we wanted to champion him, could the leftist orgs unify and help him?

Do I sound like a dirty reformist(God pls no)????

Thoughts? Opinions?

He's actually already running though it's such a deflated campaign that you probably hadn't heard of it. There will also be no debates in the primaries as far as I've heard, so the DNC is just handing it to him.

The announcement video is pretty funny though. "DING... DING... DING... DING... FREEDUM!"

"Let's finish the job"

What, nuclear apocalypse? Climate disaster? Straight up handsmaid's-taleing women now that Roe was overturned under your senile ass? Finish the job, pfft. Motherfucker.

It's funny because usually the second presidency is the one with the least popular stuff getting done since they can just go on to retire and build Obama Institutes or whatever without caring about votes. Though I have no idea how he can top how bad his first presidency was. Ever since Sanders got cheated out of the primary I've been saying that Trump is just gonna get elected again, if not in 2020, in 2024. I'm just not placing bets yet because somehow the US also produced DeSantis since they aren't trained to de-escalate on literally anything.
