Jesus that's depressing. Genocide Joe's skull throne occupied by clones of the exact same three hedgefunds in a trench coat.

I hope America balkanizes under a Mayo Pete presidency, it's the funniest outcome I can imagine

Santos would be a funnier guy, the country imploding with democrats in office would be a funnier situation

Can't wait to hear how these ghouls are somehow different than the last 200 plus years of previous ghouls

Seems a bit early to be carting out Josh Shapiro. Dude is as milquetoast as they come, even by Democrat standards. He’s like a lmayo version of Kamala.

Newsom has the most realistic shoot of the six.

Khanna will get steamrolled as being “too radical.”

Shapiro, still too much of the country unwilling to vote for a jew from the northeast.

Kelly, you can ride your wife getting shot and nearly killed to a senate seat, but not quite the presidency.

Whitmer, once again dome chuds plotting your assassination isn’t a qualifier.

Mayo Pete, LOL no one likes this dork outside of DC.

Of course, how successful any of them would be is highly dependent on if they’re running with Biden being the lame duck, or Trump.

A lot of decent stuff has passed under Whitmer over the past few years. They expanded queer protections and protected abortion in Michigan. Shes still a bloodthirsty ghoul who expanded police budgets and is pro Isreal but Im sure they can make her resume sound pretty good.

also has healthcare lobby in her cabinet.

but yeah, swing state girlboss could be attractive. And if she won Hillary would have to acknowledge it which would be funny imo

there's not going to be a 2028 you stupid [redacted] there won't even be a 2026

For the next 11 months, they are stuck being intriguing but not enticing, stoking flames but not fanning them.

lol, yeahhh, I don't think being too interesting should really be very high on the list of concerns for any of these people. This whole thing has a "Tobias Takes Over the Company" vibe

Jeffrey Katzenberg chiding a number of the Democrats directly that the best way to get powerful fundraisers and other top leaders in their corner for 2028 is to be what he calls the “MVP” of getting the president re-elected in 2024, according to people who have heard him.

After all, those are the only two traits I ever look for in a politician: the ability to eat shit and serve the machine
