2024 is going to be a shitshow for both major parties. Biden is likely going to remain in the dumps, the GOP and Trump are always shooting themselves in the foot one way or another (more recently with deciding to pull out of presidential debates), and Kyrsten Sinema's bi-partisan fever dream are all going to pile together into a quagmire where people would be begging for some kind of voice of reason.

Having a strong Green candidate would be beautiful. Not another lukewarm Jill Stein or Howie Hawkins. Someone with a background. Someone with bitey dogs. Someone who has seen war. Someone like Chris Hedges.

I might make an effortpost on why I think Hedges is a socialist's best bet in 2024, along with my views on why he's better than Cornel West for the role (since West is, bless his heart, still simping for Democrats), and other factors that make him an all-round decent option. I also like his laugh here.

Regardless, do y'all have some cursed 2024 ideas for the lathe?

    For those who want to know the context for Hedges' bitey dogs CW: ANIMAL DEATH

    One day, Hedges' wife Eunice Wong was walking their two greyhounds. When the bunch came upon another person walking a very tiny Shih Tzu/Bichon Frise crossbreed, Wong informed them that she did not know how her greyhounds will behave, so the other dog walker picked up their little doggy and let Wong pass with the greyhounds. Right when the Bichon/Shih Tzu dog was set back down, the greyounds rapidly turned around and attacked the little dog. The little guy died. The greyhounds are still alive, though, but are required to wear muzzles while in public.
