      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.

        Kamala or Buttigeig, you can bet on it.

        Seriously, go to Vegas. At least you’ll make money on the end of the world.

          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.

            Yeah, Walz refuses to announce (like they always do) but you don’t make the amount of noise he is without gearing up for something. I don’t think there’s any way he doesn’t run, and currently he might even be my favorite of those that I’m confident will run. We’ve got a while before the next presidential election though, so anything could happen and I can’t really be bothered thinking about.

      She’s free to run again, but this time she has to win the primary. And that’s unlikely. It’s rare in modern times for someone to lose a Presidential election and get another shot at it, Nixon and Trump are the only two in over a hundred years.
