its fukin Newsom, cmon, all the ghoul of Biden in a new sexy body. i'd say he had a good chance this cycle but he's a good dog waiting his turn

there is no one "after biden". all hope is hung on this man, the most progressive force in american politics since Franklin Delveccio Roosevelt. or is he the most imperialist, racist force in american politics since Theodore Roosevelt? i can't remember, but facts don't matter. what matters is that this is the last election america will ever have, because if Trump wins it's all over. for everyone. Trump will launch the space nukes to every corner of the galaxy and destroy everything that could have ever been imagined over an infinite timeline. including God. Trump will kill God. and most importantly, brunch. so press 30330 to give $3 to Team Biden and don't forget you can win big at goldenpalacecasino.com

so

ps - i have no idea. in 2016, hedges said in some interview that the Democratic party would rally around the conservative candidate and use the corrupt party mechanisms to kill the youthful, engaged energy around Sanders, the closest thing it had to an insurgent populist movement. this backroom dealing would lead to a profound disillusionment among many of the politically-engaged people who would have made up the future base of the party. the loss of this bloc would create a fatal wound in the party itself.

i think that's what we're seeing. the party is a corpse that is twitching on the slab and no amount of threatening, scolding, pomp, or pageantry seems capable of making young people give a shit. no one wants to be a labor-oriented, populist reform candidate, because the party bosses have shown they will scorch the earth to cut them down, so all we get are people in thrall to capital formations selected by the weird focus group/consultant-driven court intrigue of party elites and major donors. and those people don't want to put up names until there's a good chance of Return on Investment. so its just going to be one brushed and polished coward after another, pulled from a hat at the last minute and dumped on a saddle in the horse race. name TBD.

They'll crack open one of the same brand of birthing vats that Buttigieg squelched out of, this time less gay and more boring looking. This procedurally generated and Langley gestated homunculus will be the only available option

a jungle primary between beto, pete, stacey abrams, newsom, some random senators, the worst billionaire you have ever seen, and eventually AOC probably

they will rally behind newsom after pete proves to be too unlikeable

It’s her turn

For real though it doesn’t even matter who they run. The democrats are petite bourgeoisie who believe whatever the corporate press tells them. They’ll fall in line behind whatever dogshit candidate the DNC chooses because whoever the RNC chooses will somehow be worse even though they’ll actually be the same, just with slightly different definitions of what constitutes politeness.

That fact that you’re asking means you’re a Russian shill. We don’t speak of anyone EXCEPT Biden. He will be president. That’s all that matters. Stop talking about long term plans because there is a cheeto about to be put into a prison cell.

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

It's probably going to be 4 more years of Trump and this guy's guaranteed to be scoring consistently on technicalities and procedure the entire time. He will lose every state to Tucker Carlson, who will be getting his show on Fox News back thanks to an executive order on Trump's first day in office.

I mean, if I were in some kind of monkey's paw situation where I was put in charge of the democrats but I had to ignore my ideology and just put in someone who could win, there are actually a couple of really solid electoral options. The upper midwestern states that Trump won in 2016 have popular democratic governors, notably Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan and Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania. Shapiro even got some good press for handling a bridge collapse really competently. Other than that, Raphael Warnock is a Georgia senator who's won multiple tough re-election campaigns despite being dragged down by that moronic grifter Stacy Abrams. Mark Kelly is a senator from Arizona who's a former astronaut and won a tough re-election.

The thing about this moment is that it should be really easy for mainstream democratic party liberals to just sweep the whole country and ride to the White House because of Dobbs/Trump being incredibly unpopular/Republicans being loathsome and unappealing and getting more unappealing all the time. The problem for them is squarely on Biden.

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

They're going to pick some aide or state assembly person (or a couple) to give a speech at the DNC this year and try to recreate an Obama 2004 moment

Whoever it is, they're going to just harangue everyone into vooooting for them no matter how much they suck

Hunter

It's Eric Swalwell's turn

Real Swaheads know what the fuck is up

at the current trajectory of liberal politics in this country? Jefferson Davis's exhumed corpse

I don't really pay attention to politics, but I thought the smart play would've been backing one Mr. Psychedelic Warlord, but at this point I think that ship has sailed.

Previously I'd always said Buttigieg but a Newsom/Buttigieg ticket would not surprise me at all either, I am just assuming the rat will still be involved. AOC will be an even more controlled opposition than Bernie was, she'll spend the primary talking about how the frontrunner doesn't go far enough then she'll get in line and endorse around February 2028.

John Fetterman

hopefully the United Sates will be dissolved by then and nobody will have to think about it

I'm calling it, the next dem ticket will be Newsom/Whitmer

I think it's Gretchen Whitmer.
