    Can you imagine what it would look like if they chose someone like Jon Stewart instead? How a debate like that would have gone? A guy can dream…

      Just anyone with more charisma than a bowl of cold oatmeal.

      If nothing matters except beating trump, why arent we coalescing around a candidate Dem voters want so that we’ll get as much votes against trump as possible

        The problem is “a candidate dem voters want” doesn’t have any obvious choices.

        Like Harris isn’t that popular, but the optics of skipping over a black woman when the VP would typically be the heir apparent? You think Gavin Newsom would be a good choice? Californians don’t have a lot of good things to say about him right now. I haven’t seen a lot of other names floated.

      The problem is that the DNC would never go for him or anyone like him, because he’s not a blatant neoliberal.

      If they swap, it’ll be someone like Newsom.

      I mean yea, but that’s not really fair to him. Being president seems like a terrible burden.
