If he keeps this up, he’ll drag the entire Republican Party down with him in 2024.

    I would love to have a different and better candidate than Biden, but hard disagree.

    someone would need to have stood out by now. that could take his place and we just don’t have anyone. we can’t run someone that has no name recognition against Trump or DeSantis.

      He is probably better in the House, but Hakeem Jeffries (israel bullshit aside…) very much was rocking the speaker votes.

      That said: Obama basically “started” in 2004 with that DNC keynote speech. Yes, he had a political career prior to that. But that is when The Public really found out he existed and he killed it.

      I would VERY much have preferred we been doing this since 2016 but between the Bernie debacle and then needing to do the exact opposite of that, there wasn’t a great chance to build up new voices. But we 900% need to have some “fresh young faces” get platformed to hell and back in 2024.
