    I think part of the problem for the Hillary and Harris campaigns were that they were running for the status quo at a time when that wasn’t working. Both Obama and Biden ran on change and, while it wasn’t the amount of change people wanted, it was at least a recognition that things need to shift.

      This is the same take I have. Both Hillary and Kamala are slimy neolibs, exactly the kind of people that nobody trusts. Gavin Newsom is the same and would be a catastrophic nomination. AOC would have a real shot, especially if she sticks to her grass-roots techniques and reaches people face-to-face. No debates, no mass media, just homegrown down-to-earth human energy.

      But what am I talking about, there won’t be any more elections. The fascists have taken over and dismantled everything from the federal to local levels. The cancer, having been fed instead of removed, is now terminal.
