I remember at the time approving of it because even then he seemed past his prime. I liked the thought of him being more a “transition” president who would take us back to more “normal” times. I somehow assumed that we wouldn’t be dealing with Trump anymore and that we’d dodged the fascist bullet, but it’s just as bad now as it was in 2020, if not moreso. I’m sure there’s better candidates out there to run for the Democrats, but I’m not entirely certain who that is.

• Buttigieg seemed promising during the primaries, intelligent and quick-witted enough to handle a presidential campaign, but since becoming Secy of Transp. I feel like I haven’t really heard anything from him.
• Harris has been a drag as VP and is pretty much worthless.
• Sanders would’ve been fantastic, but he’s getting up there.
• I might agree with Warren on alot and like her, but I don’t know that she has the charisma for a campaign like that.
• Michelle Obama would be hilarious just because we’d have Barack back in the White House again, but she doesn’t seem like she’s into politics in general.
• Clinton is a no-go, we already tried that before.
• Gore? I guess it’s been 20+ years since 2000, maybe the world is ready again for another Gore run?
• Cortez is well-known and seems charismatic, quick-witted and intelligent enough, but seems too young (and wouldn’t meet the apparent age requirement of being 60+ and out of touch).

Not sure who else Democrats have in the national spotlight that could really go for it at this point.
