i think i'd take basically every governor we have (not Polis, Murphy or Lamont) before all but 2 of our senators (Ossoff and Warnock) which is like... kind of insane?

i really want AOC to be by far the leading candidate but rn she just doesn't have the same leverage that state level democrats do. of course with midterms coming up, involving the fate of the federal gov and discontent against the dem establishment, AOC may have a lot of new opportunities ahead.

i know that's the seat she probably should aim for, taking down Schumer will massively benefit the party. But I don't know if I can see any other presidential candidate, besides maybe Pritzker, having what it takes to save the country.

No one person is going to be able to save the country

2020 had a bunch of senators and what is exposed is that 'senator in the minority' makes for very weak lists of accomplishments

it's actually almost funny how many of them ran and then completely fizzled out i can make decent cases for 2-3 of them, but the reality is in a crowded primary there's not a lot of oxygen to go around when the 2 leading candidates have universal name recognition
