"waste one of their up and coming stars"
lmao WHO?
Gruesome Newsome
Gretchen Whitmer and Jay Pritzker. Governors of Michigan and Illnois respectively. Either would be a good presidential candidate now or 2028 (if there's elections). More than someone like Harris or Buttigieg.
As far as Pritzker goes, I’ll say this - he’s done better of a job than you’d think for a hotel heir who landed in politics.
Then again, considering the past few governors… what’s Blagojevich up to these days, anyhow? He got the trump pardon, went on chapo, and vanished so far as I can tell.
It's a low bar but it's the JFK thing where if you're rich you don't have to worry about your retirement plan by pandering to other bourgeoisie so can do mild progressiveness. Though they did kill JFK.
This is confusing to me, because in Israel, “up and coming” means you’re a dead soldier.
No no the phrase for that is, "dead and cattle prodded for semen extraction".
