    Y'know, I think we are thinking about this candidate question all wrong.

    What does an NBA team do when they need a new coach? Sure, sometimes they promote from the assistant coaching ranks, but more often they hire from a different team.
    Let's hire from a different team. Let's hire someone we know can get the best of Trump, and also get huge support from the likes of beast and jonnyboy.

    You know what I'm saying. Vladimir Putin should be our next Democratic nominee for President!

    We should make the presidential runner up VP and force them to work together.

    The problem with that is the VP has no duties, and the President would be unlikely to give them any, other than a 4 year trip to East Bumfuck.

    East Bumfuck sounds like a decent place for a 4 year trip, from where I'm standing.

    East Bumfuck is Trump Country.

    Not Newsome. We don't need someone tethered to bad economy.

    Buttigeig would be good, but would America vote for a gay man?

    These probably aren't the guys. Buttigieg seems perfect if he weren't beholden to big lobbies, but I think too many people would hold being gay against him.

    It'll take the perfect candidate. Obama but better.

    Yeah, there is those darn lobbies. Minus that he is a great candidate and I would highly consider voting for him. I think people might hold it against him too, and that sucks. They clearly won't elect a woman. They will probably also have issues with a gay candidate.

    Obama but better would be perfect. Where do we find that guy?

    The DNC would have to want to find that guy. But they are beholden to lobbyists. So they're going to run from young straight Bernie/Pete/Barack and bury them under the Joe Manchin ticket.

    I can them see trying to run Manchin or Newsome. I think it's the wrong the direction and more of the same.

    If anything is going to bring change to the Democratic party though its four more years of Donald and his fascist bullshit. Hopefully, the wake up call is heeded this time.

    I’m honestly confused as to how people legitimately think Trump will somehow keep fair and open elections going, now that he has control of all three branches of government including the courts. Why are you thinking about 2028 like this is the offseason of a sporting event?

    Joe Manchin is 77 years old. In addition to the fact that everyone in the Democratic party hates him.

    He might get a job in Trump's cabinet, perhaps. He's not going to be running for President as a Democrat.

    Oh you bet they are going to Gerrymander, pass laws to subvert the vote, put loyal people in more positions of power, and whatever other dirty shit they have to in order to keep majority and grow it.

    Never mind that Manchin is just a republican plant.

    Yep. Also part of the reason I chose him as the example.
