    Yes, but also I don’t think the Democrats have any stronger candidate to run against Republicans.

    This is a real problem. Who’s in the national Democratic pipeline? Biden kind of sucked the life out of anyone associated with him - Anthony Blinken? Lloyd Austin? Pete Buttigeig was the closest thing Biden had to an attack dog, but he keeps losing elections and I don’t know what he’s doing now. I thought Katie Porter was cool for a while, but she blew her run for senate and is currently choking on a run for governor of California. Bernie’s too old.

    I don’t even know who else is out there.

      Tim Walz, maybe, if he quits listening to the neolib assholes giving him shitty advice?

          You know, I always thought the prevailing wisdom was that assassination was counterproductive as a political tactic because the faction doing it would lose the moral high ground and galvanize everyone against their cause, but it’s funny how that doesn’t seem to have been true lately.
