    We said very similar things about Donald Trump in 2016, and he managed it.

    Speak for yourself. I knew he was dangerous from the very beginning. I thought Hillary running would end up exactly the way it did. Everything in that election reinforced my belief that progressive populism focused around labor is the way to win back the country, and unite people.

    It’s uphill for Harris, but she will benefit from having all that time watching Biden and maybe learning how to have a personality herself in the process.

    Unlikely, and I think the fact they have hidden her away from the media due to her detrimental reflection on the administration speaks for itself.

    And who knows? She might also have the benefit of incumbency herself if Joe wins another term, but that term outlasts his ticker.

    Why would you even want that? I’m tired of the next man up bullshit. It’s time for someone to earn their keep instead of this careerist/institutionalist garbage.
