I thought that during the 2020-2024 interim the Democrats were supposed to be building someone up for the next generation of the party. To no one's surprise, they've been doing exactly fuck-all for four years - but, for insiders who actually care about the party's future, who are they hanging their hat on? Voters' confidence in Kamala has tanked; Cuomo was maybe their man until the sexual harassment charges hit (side question: how was he able to skate on the nursing home scandal?). But anyway, who's the next empty neoliberal they'll run in future elections?

a jungle primary between beto, pete, stacey abrams, newsom, some random senators, the worst billionaire you have ever seen, and eventually AOC probably

they will rally behind newsom after pete proves to be too unlikeable

Going purely off vibes, I always felt like rat boy could be groomed into their perfect candidate. It wouldn't be that much work

he is deeply unpopular with anyone who isn't white though

And many who are!

Edit: fr though I've talked to apolitical normies that don't know much about him but are still just surface level skeeved out by his demeanor

why? he's definitely not a weird rat hybrid person who eats cinnamon rolls like chicken wings pete-eat
