    I would 1000% support Katie Porter.

    She doesn’t have the political capital to sustain a presidential run, but I’d love to see her at least put her name out there. Similar to Yang in 2020. But she’s going to follow the rules and not run until 2028.

    My biggest gripe with Biden is that he’s too old. He was old in 2020 but I still vote for him because I was against Trump.

    That’s what this election is. Are we voting for democracy or fascism?

    Democrats haven’t put out a decent candidate since Obama, and I say that as someone who was a conservative when he was up for election. Hillary was just…awful. 2020 was an election to put Trump out of office, not necessarily to put Biden into office.

    I’m not saying Biden is a bad candidate but he isn’t great either. But compared to Miami Mussolini, yeah I’ll be voting Biden.

      Yeah, Katie Porter is a badass. Biden will clearly do better in the general election than she will, but she’s absolutely great.

      Gavin Newsom seems great too. Unfortunately it seems like the people who are choosing to run are fairly limited. Hey @ira@lemmy.ml, should I be voting for Dean Phillips instead?

        One point of correction: Biden would do better in the primary. If it were Porter v Trump, Porter would win, hands down.
