As someone who is a leftist, I really wouldn't mind having Gretchen Whitmer as the president. From what I've seen, she's been pretty good.

Midwestern democrats are actual democrats. If all democrats had their politics and approach, we'd be much better off.
Agreed. 2028 has some solid democrats that will probably run. I'd be happy to vote for Witmer, Shapiro, Newsome, etc.
I would not be thrilled for newsome. He’s a snake that undercut the progressives in his state government multiple times. Shapiro has been decent. I would come out for him for sure. But one thing I know is that the weekend at Bernie’s situation we’re facing right now is about as bad of an option as we can have going into an election year.
Apparently, a new front in the culture war is that conservatives want to drink raw milk now to fight against “big milk”.
This, while cattle are being affected by an epidemic of species-jumping bird flu.

If you tell them that it will act as a vaccine they will stop
Wouldn't it be funny if this idea was started by the Chinese military to get even for Pentagon anti-vax campaigns?

Surely the miss spelled “convicted ex president Donald Trump’s anti-vax campaign”.
So I get what you’re saying. But this was inarguably a Trump admin thing, regardless of which part of the government or military actually carried out the plans. This sounds and feels like a thing he’d do, and in fact fully aligns with his bullshittery of calling Covid the “China virus” in countless press conferences around that time. It’s a deeply stupid tactic, because this is the sort of shit that diminishes the soft power of the US in the long term.
No.
