    Whitmer would be good if she wanted to step up. The main issue with Governors is that they are busy governing.

    It shouldn’t be too hard to get a back-room deal between Whitmer or Shapiro to coordinate an announcement with Biden though. But what they’d need is public support before they start that push.

    Make it real obvious that we’d vote for Whitmer or Shapiro (both look serious and Id vote for them over Biden and Trump). And we can start there. Let the elites figure out things afterwards.

      And we also need clarification on who the hell can access Biden’s campaign funds if he does step aside. Ive seen some pundits claim that only Harris can access that money, if that’s true I kind of think we’re done looking. It would have to be her, even if she isn’t the best option. I’m not a campaign finance expert though.

      And I think Witmer would landslide if she was the nominee. She’s really well spoken, has done some great shit in Michigan, has full control of her bowel movements probably, and having a woman at the top of the ticket when women’s healthcare is such a hot issue is a recipe for success.

        Every candidate loses 20 IQ when they enter the national stage and have to dumb down their political message to match a larger audience.

        Its a difficult thing to do. Running on the national stage is very different than running locally. Ideally we’d have seen how any of these candidates do a year or two ago, but there’s not enough time for that anymore.
