I'm interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven't kept track of the potential options.

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.

Don't forget Giant duche has a really compelling platform

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?

How about Mayor Joseph Fitzgerald O'Malley Fitzpatrick O'Donnell The Edge "Joe" Quimby?

Seems like a great pick for the role /s

[–] Zonefive@sh.itjust.works -2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Secretary (Mayor) Pete Boot-Edge-Edge. Can't wait to vote for the guy now and/or in the future.

I think Cory Booker has potential. But a ham sandwich is the most electable candidate today. Just be somewhat alive and not problematic.

Tulsi Gabbard because she’s smart and tough
