I’m interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven’t kept track of the potential options.
Mark Kelly.
Astronaut, has absolutely been an amazing husband to Gabby Gifords, impeccable background that is literally the American Dream, and untouchable character.
He would absolutely destroy Trump.
I’ve never heard of him until just now—one glance and he is elite. This is easily the best candidate they could field.
I’m not even an American and I would be so psyched by a Mark Kelly run for president.
Then all we would need would be to get Chris Hatfield as or PM up here and it would be an intelligent astronaut super hemisphere.
And he has a twin with a nearly identical pedigree, it’s insane. But I’d love to see a Harris/Kelly ticket.
It’s Donald’s turn to drop out.

Kamala Harris/Mark Kelly
An astronaut for president? That’s actually pretty catchy.
Also seems like an interesting guy outside of that.

Without a doubt the best option the Democrats have right now
Of course the Democrats are gonna run someone from offworld 🙄
Katie Porter + AOC
It would cause the right’s heads to explode.
I like Buttigieg the most, but I don’t think he has enough time to be built up for this election. I’d be excited to see him as a VP ticket, or for next election.
I think that Kamala is our best choice, but I worry that our country isn’t ready to vote in a female president. We’re still so ridiculously misogynistic that it would be comical if it wasn’t such a fucking travesty
I would disagree. The only reason the last woman to run for president failed was because she was Hillary Clinton. If she’d have been virtually anyone else, she’d probably have won.
I think you underestimate how sexiest the United States is.
Yeah, even women hates other women.
The reason she lost is she let someone media hack convince her to wear that smile.
Why does he need to be built up?
My fingers are eternally crossed for Whitmer
Did FBI return her home safely?
Katie Porter!!
Anyone under the age of 50
Why? Because they will have the energy, experience and ability to take on such an important position.
Maria Branyas.
I think age is important, and Biden just didn’t have the necessary life experience to be a successful candidate 😉
You mean life expectancy?
Life
I don’t think that there are any that I would back 100%. There are a lot that I could support 90% or more, like Sanders and Warren. Even AOC.
OTOH, I also strongly believe in 2A rights–in addition to freedom of/from religion, freedom of speech, freedom of choice, etc.–and there simply are not any Democratic candidates that I’m aware of that support 2A rights. They always say, “I support 2A rights, but…”, and that “but” immediately precedes ideas to restrict 2A rights in significant ways. (“I support 2A rights, but I just don’t think that anyone needs a gun other than a muzzle loading Kentucky long rifle.”)
In short, I’ll never support any Republican more than, at most, 40%. I have yet to find any Democrat that I can support more than 90%.
Gun nuts are a scourge on the country.
People opposed to civil rights are a scourge on the country.
Turd Sandwich always struck me as an upstanding guy.
How about Mayor Joseph Fitzgerald O’Malley Fitzpatrick O’Donnell The Edge “Joe” Quimby?
Seems like a great pick for the role /s
Secretary (Mayor) Pete Boot-Edge-Edge. Can’t wait to vote for the guy now and/or in the future.
Nobody please, thank you
Tulsi Gabbard because she’s smart and tough
And a Russian asset?
Ah yes, the old “Russian asset” trick. I assume you have some reason for thinking this?
