  • who in the party though can you prop up as a center right liberal though?

    This is the real electoral problem with the DNC, since it skews so old theres really no younger politicians with any contemporary buy in on there political past. Joe Biden was really the last kind of democrat of that type, and he is 80 years old. The DNC is nothing but a bunch of old people and nobodies.

    Meanwhile the GOP has a recurring and new cast every election year, mostly because they can retire from politics and get onto a board of directors for random corporations, and secure the bag. There doesnt seem to be a mechanism like that for the DNC, except that when a prominent nobody loses a big election they get funneled into the party structures (e.g. stacy abrams, jaime harrison) or turned into a recurring MSNBC contributor, losers consulting future losers.










  • do you think any other candidate has a chance of winning the White House in the elections?

    Lets rank them by possibility

    Vice President Kamala Harris. I see her losing a la 2016 just being an absolute dipshit campaigner and ultimately being a really unpopular and offputting person.

    Governor Gavin Newsom. He’s basically a nobody with no publicly stated national beliefs. He looks like a slimeball and is one too. Would lose any or all of the eastern swing states, simply because he didnt have enough time to zero in on what he actually stood for.

    First Lady Michelle Obama. She actually has a decent chance at winning, but why on earth would she want to? People know who she is, she’s well liked by suburbanites and elites. But would she be able to actually go high when confronted by media, or when Trump calls her a man on stage and points at her photoshopped pelvic bulge? I dont know what that looks like but it does feel like something that could happen lathe-of-heaven

    Bernie Sanders. He was also too old in 2020 but I have a feeling that if he gunned for the nom and didnt get it and actually split from the party it would finally destroy it. Please do it grandpa. He wont but I can pray for it.

    Elizabeth Warren. Same schtick as Kamala but also looks old and white. runs and the only black person to vote for her is uncle Ruckus

    Pete Buttigieg. Wins when the CIA totally dissolves the fiction of american democracy and just suspiciously kills trump. If not wins the electoral college but not the popular vote. Or just fails to get a campaign organized after the convention.
