Pete Buttigieg won't seek US Senate seat in Michigan, leaving door wide open for 2028 run
Good. I like Pete, and he needs to be out there doing more stuff. Not sure about President, but we'll see.
The guy who's high, high hopes didn't even include Medicare for all? No thanks.
For over 30 years, I've been saying that I won't vote for any candidate who doesn't support M4A, but I've broken that pledge in every election. I will support the pro-M4A candidate, but the next Democratic president is going to have the biggest clean-up job of any president in history, and M4A may have to take a backseat to rebuilding the government, and having the second Nuremburg Trials.
I like him a damn sight more than Newsom, to be blunt. I want to hear more from both him and Walz.
I liked Walz a lot. It was a shame he wasn’t the head of the ticket. I think he resonated with voters a lot more - and I don’t mean the racist ones.
I really hope Harris stays out of it.
I would absolutely vote for AOC, but I’m not sure enough of the country would.
I would absolutely vote for Katie Porter.
Fuck, if we’re throwing out randos, I’d enthusiastically vote for Jon Stewart or - seriously - Al Franken. His “takedown” was a political hit job. The twisting of the context to justify his ouster is honestly absurd once you understand it. That was a dude who was reasonably progressive, a great speaker, quite smart, and also simply refused to take any bullshit from anybody. Honestly thought he was shaping up to be one of the better politicians of our time.
That’s what I’m thinking of off the top of my head at least
Porter wants to run for CA governor, and I have a feeling Harris is going to fuck that all up for her by running as well. I'd appreciate Porter in an acting national role as well, but I'm not sure enough people know of her work to get her in as president.
