      I want to tell myself that there’s no way in hell they would let this happen, let alone make it happen.

      Then I remember it’s the DNC.

          I’d bet they’ll try to run Blinken or Shapiro. Harris cant bring in campaign donations, and donations are all the DNC cares about.

            I feel like they have really poor name recognition. And while Shapiro looks great and presidential, Blinkin has a real “off” kind of look to him.

              They’re also both in a murder and land left theft cult, and you can be sure that they will use any influence they get to further entangle the US in that, at astronomical cost to the US.

          Buttigeig is likely going to run given that he is giving up his chance at a Senate seat.

          I feel like Walz is going to run as well. He’s been showing up in national media a lot and seems to be becoming the face of the opposition.

          Newsom seems like he’s going to run as well, but he’s been making terrible choices recently.

            Yeah, he’s trying to become the preordained nominee by making choices party leadership likes.

              This guy gets it. Speaking as a Californian, this is exactly, precisely what’s happening. I don’t use this term a lot because it resurfaces trauma of not realizing I was posting in a thread on Hexbear, but Newsom is straight up the textbook definition of a shitlib. He’s always kinda been a shitlib, with a ratio of one kinda okay decision to like four disappointing, mediocre, and shitty decisions that make the wealthy and corporate donors happy. Now that he sees a path to the presidency laid bare, he’s fully embracing his shitlib instincts. Please, for the love of Buddha, don’t vote for him in the primary.

                As though primary votes matter. The party successfully argued in court that they don’t.

                  You can always count on Ensign_Crab to twist the knife one last time. Gotta make sure they’re demoralized.
