    Gov Shapiro, Gov Whitmire, Sen Kelly. The first two probably get their state off the contested map. I don’t know if Kelly can deliver AZ.

      As far as I’ve heard, nobody seems to hate Shapiro. Of course, they only vote red in rural PA, but in-betweeners would likely side with him.

        Imagine being the kind of sun allergic bottomfeeder that still unironically uses the word “shitlib” post 2016, and especially post covid, and especially post Dobbs.

        You’re not discoursing, you’re just outing yourself as the exact kind of person who’ll get us all killed if anyone gets up the dumbass to listen to you.

        Signed, an actual fucking Palestinian American instead of some white kid like you that sees us as the latest convenient martyrs for their excuse to not due their minimum duty to protect the republic and everyone who’ll die first if it collapses.

    Stacey Abrams managed to flip Georgia, and has a similar background (legal) and views as Harris… They’d probably make an awesome team.

    Gretchen Whitmer but my parents are still wishing for Klobuchar to get somewhere in WH proximity so I’ll mention her too.

    Jayapal would be hilarious just for how thoroughly a fuck you it would be to the far right to have two WoC on the ticket and then for them to go on and win.

    Trump does so good in the debate it backfires and achieves an entirely new level of the kind of social advancement that he rode the backlash into office on in the first place XD.

      Patton Oswalt did a bit while back that called trump the “racist’s pallette cleanser” after Obama, and honestly I think he might have been onto something. Racists got loud and yelled for 8 years with Obama, and Patton’s thought is that they rallied for one last hoopla and got Trump elected. That it was needed for this one last racist brigade before we finally normalized PoC and women in the White House.

      I think it also woke us up to the fact that they’re still here, and they need to be shunned. Loudly.

        Forget shunning, I say get the baseball bats out and stop pretending they need anything but percussive maintenance on their obviously misfiring cranium.

    Cooper because he brings NC’s electoral votes and helps keep a Trumpy person out of the governor’s mansion. His political positions are bleh, but Harris is young and should something happen to her Cooper is a decent human and would make a decent president.

    Cooper also has experience dealing with gerrymandered bad-faith Republican supermajority, so I don’t think he’ll be interested in playing the compromise game.

      On the downside, he’s relatively unknown on the national stage.

      On the upside, it’s a natural progression, he served as governor for a full term and the timing is right to move on to the next political field.

      To add to your points, he’s a democrat who won the same exact elections in a state that Trump also won both times, a state that simultaneously elected republican supermajorities and a republican lieutenant governor while still electing him. A straight white southern man who is about as nonthreatening to GOP sensibilities as you can get without actually being a republican.
