For real though, who do the Dems run after Biden? (hexbear.net)

I thought that during the 2020-2024 interim the Democrats were supposed to be building someone up for the next generation of the party. To no one's surprise, they've been doing exactly fuck-all for four years - but, for insiders who actually care about the party's future, who are they hanging their hat on? Voters' confidence in Kamala has tanked; Cuomo was maybe their man until the sexual harassment charges hit (side question: how was he able to skate on the nursing home scandal?). But anyway, who's the next empty neoliberal they'll run in future elections?

Gavin Newsom has been doing some serious auditioning the past year or two.

Liz from TrueAnon needs to stop being coy about the Newsom conspiracy she’s hinted at having inside knowledge of. The man is going to run eventually.

I mean just the first minute and a half of this clip makes him sound like he's been preparing his speeches in the mirror while applying his daily bottle of hair gel. It's like he's absorbed some Trump mannerisms the past few years.

Holy shit he's a neolib android dream. He's plasticky. He gave me a vibe of a casual president in some insanely shit Hallmark tv movie called Me and the President Fell in <3. If you turn the sound off - you can make up dialog in your head and pretend it is that movie and he's trying to seduce her.

1:07 "This is the real thing! You know how much I care for you. But it's more than that. I love you!..."

1:16 He does an impression of her mom telling him "Gavin, you are the man for her. She needs more than anything..."

I don't know what the actual audio is. I like my version much more than whatever it is. Still - what the fuck was up at 1:16!
