I thought that during the 2020-2024 interim the Democrats were supposed to be building someone up for the next generation of the party. To no one’s surprise, they’ve been doing exactly fuck-all for four years - but, for insiders who actually care about the party’s future, who are they hanging their hat on? Voters’ confidence in Kamala has tanked; Cuomo was maybe their man until the sexual harassment charges hit (side question: how was he able to skate on the nursing home scandal?). But anyway, who’s the next empty neoliberal they’ll run in future elections?
its fukin Newsom, cmon, all the ghoul of Biden in a new sexy body. i’d say he had a good chance this cycle but he’s a good dog waiting his turn
Yep, he’s exceptionally disciplined at toeing the party line and prioritizing the Democratic machine over his own immediate wishes. They will reward his patience handsomely when it is His Turn.
i really have got a sense that “their turn” is legitimately a driving principle in the party, either at Obama or Bernie the party got together and reorganized to prevent an upstart who didnt do their time from ever touching power again.
anyone else, even Bernie would tow the important political lines. the loyalty to Biden is about this turns bullshit
And no one exemplifies this better than Biden himself who had been paying his dues to the party since disco was popular.
