I thought that during the 2020-2024 interim the Democrats were supposed to be building someone up for the next generation of the party. To no one’s surprise, they’ve been doing exactly fuck-all for four years - but, for insiders who actually care about the party’s future, who are they hanging their hat on? Voters’ confidence in Kamala has tanked; Cuomo was maybe their man until the sexual harassment charges hit (side question: how was he able to skate on the nursing home scandal?). But anyway, who’s the next empty neoliberal they’ll run in future elections?
a jungle primary between beto, pete, stacey abrams, newsom, some random senators, the worst billionaire you have ever seen, and eventually AOC probably
they will rally behind newsom after pete proves to be too unlikeable
Going purely off vibes, I always felt like rat boy could be groomed into their perfect candidate. It wouldn’t be that much work
yeah the average person looks at Pete and visibly recoils in disgust. He’d be a Democrat version of DeSantis. He does well to his specific crowd, white comfortable nerds who work at Deloitte, but everyone else just sees a robotic weird rat man. Horrendous vibes emanate from him.
I mean I wouldn’t put it past the democrats to put their chips behind him, but normal people see his entire vibe as fake corporate mandatory fun overly sentimental nothingness. He’s a physical manifestation of Patrick Bateman. People don’t look at Pete and see themselves, they look at Pete and see their weirdest supervisor at work. They see debate club nerds who they used to bully. They see a guy who would have worn a bow tie to elementary school
That is a perfect comparison. Like any normal person is disgusted by either of them even if they know nothing about them
This is the best description of Mayo Pete I’ve ever read.
he is deeply unpopular with anyone who isn’t white though
And many who are!
why? he’s definitely not a weird rat hybrid person who eats cinnamon rolls like chicken wings
Wait. That’s a cinnamon roll!?
