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?

    Previously I'd always said Buttigieg but a Newsom/Buttigieg ticket would not surprise me at all either, I am just assuming the rat will still be involved. AOC will be an even more controlled opposition than Bernie was, she'll spend the primary talking about how the frontrunner doesn't go far enough then she'll get in line and endorse around February 2028.
