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?

Newsom visited China, he was present at the SF meeting with Xi, seems like the most obvious pragmatic answer.

They'll never run him, he actually thinks people deserve health care.

At one point even Nancy Pelosi wanted single payer healthcare in the 90s, the dems can mold Newsom in their image

Didn't he veto California's public option?
