New York and California politicians will never become president. For one, those states are locked blue so there’s no home state advantage to leverage in a purple state. The more important part though is that those people are corrupt slimeballs and everyone else in the country outside those 2 states are repelled by them (see: Giuliani, Cuomo, Newsom, etc)

Trump counts as Floridian

Would be hilarious to see CNN and MSNBC do everything they can to promote Dean Phillips as the younger Biden.

They've spent the last year already using the argument "you might not like it and sure, he keeps explicitly saying he doesn't give a fuck what you think and he won't change any of his policies based on popular opinion but you have tonvote for him because he's THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD who can beat trump"

It's gonna fall pretty flat if they try to say "ok you might also not like this person with the same policies but actually THIS PERSON is the only one who can beat trump"

I mean it'll work on blue Maga but anybody who's not willfully ignorant is gonna chuckle to themselves while figuring out what they want to drink instead of wasting time voting.
