    Okay yeah I’m super happy that Harris replaced Biden on the ticket and everything, but the more I learn about this guy the more I want him to be actual president. VP’s certainly a good compromise for the circunstances though!

      Everybody in MN has been saying Walz needs to run for president for years now. But, being a relatively unknown guy from a flyover state it was kind of a pipe dream. I’m hoping now that everyone is seeing him, getting to know him, and obviously loving him that he’ll get his chance in 4 years to run for actual president.

          By that time he’ll be 69. I know that’s not unpresidented ~(fully intended)~ but I’d still rather see him as president before he’s fully geriatric.

              If Dems win the I feel like Republicans are gonna have a period of recalibration as they move away from maga politics.

              One can hope at least.

                I figured so when they lost in 2008, but they doubled (quadrupled) down on the party shit and stuff in 2016 and won.

                I have absolutely no expectations they’ll start getting introspective and sane.

                Which is a shame, having a sane, working-in-good-faith opposition party is - generally - a very good thing.

                  2008 they ran their most honest, honorable, and classy candidate in modern history. And he lost.

                  So they stopped trying to be honest, honorable, and classy.

                    He lost partly because they added the stupid tea party candidate to the ticket.

                    Plus Obama was a goddamn phenomenon at the time.

                    You’re right, but still.
