It's such a low bar for the DNC to just put forth a viable candidate, and all they've come up with is a controversial president's wife who doesnt know when to shut up and not tank her own (and others) campaign, a genocidal geriatric strike-breaker, and now, after nearly two decades of blatant, recorded police abuse and widespread protests against police... President "female bad-cop".
Which is insane........because if Michelle Obama even HINTED at running, it would re-energize the entire democratic party.
I mean I guess the same could also be said about Taylor Swift, but personally I would want her to do some lower positions. We've all seen how terrible a president with no experience can go.
And then you want to say hey vote third party and you are literally Hitler
Third party, until the "first past the post" system is treated like a Russian who pissed off Putin (defenestration/thrown out the window) and replaced with ranked choice voting, isnt a viable option either at this time.
