I’m interested to see what lemmy thinks of this, I honestly haven’t kept track of the potential options.
Mark Kelly.
Astronaut, has absolutely been an amazing husband to Gabby Gifords, impeccable background that is literally the American Dream, and untouchable character.
He would absolutely destroy Trump.
I’m not even an American and I would be so psyched by a Mark Kelly run for president.
Then all we would need would be to get Chris Hatfield as or PM up here and it would be an intelligent astronaut super hemisphere.
And he has a twin with a nearly identical pedigree, it’s insane. But I’d love to see a Harris/Kelly ticket.
jon stewart. because he would be excellent, and absolutely does not want the job
He’ll do the job. He’s only going to work one night a week though…
Hey that’s more than Trump worked his entire Presidency.
Double edged sword. Jon would make a great President. But, I also bet he would be miserable doing the job and I would really hate to do that do him.
Especially is he is asked to do a drone strike.
Yes, I’d be okay with him, but Porter is an electable candidate. And she’s willing to go a bit left of center.
Been saying that for years! PLUS! He can’t even use the excuse that it’ll turn his hair grey, because, well, c’mon Jon. It’s time to look in a mirror. That ship has sailed.
Seems like an interesting guy, and fits my two basic criteria: not being a geriatric and being a reasonable person. I’ve limited my expectations to avoid disappointment :'D
It’s Donald’s turn to drop out.
America designed the justice system to hurt felons after time served. Let’s enforce the hand of justice and make it a rule a convict can’t hold the highest government position. Seems only fair treatment to me.
Kamala Harris/Mark Kelly
An astronaut for president? That’s actually pretty catchy.
Also seems like an interesting guy outside of that.

I hear Katie Porter is available…
University prof? Witty? Sharp tongue?
I’m down.
Bernie Sanders / AOC ticket.
Other way round.
Any order is fine by me, but part of me wants some retired cop to see that the guy he dragged away from civil rights protests in the 70s is now president.
Let’s be brutally honest here, those cops will have long since died of alcoholism.
badass veteran and working mother, current Junior Senator from Illinois, Tammy Duckworth
That’s an impressive track record.
Why? No shade, just curious.
I think she’s awesome in general. I think her service record and voting record make her a palatable or even desirable candidate for a wide swath of the population, not just Democrats — I’m not one myself, though I vote for more Democrats than any other party’s candidates.
Thank you for replying. I considered her for my primary vote, when she ran, but ultimately wrote in my candidate.
I don’t think that there are any that I would back 100%. There are a lot that I could support 90% or more, like Sanders and Warren. Even AOC.
OTOH, I also strongly believe in 2A rights–in addition to freedom of/from religion, freedom of speech, freedom of choice, etc.–and there simply are not any Democratic candidates that I’m aware of that support 2A rights. They always say, “I support 2A rights, but…”, and that “but” immediately precedes ideas to restrict 2A rights in significant ways. (“I support 2A rights, but I just don’t think that anyone needs a gun other than a muzzle loading Kentucky long rifle.”)
In short, I’ll never support any Republican more than, at most, 40%. I have yet to find any Democrat that I can support more than 90%.
Anyone under the age of 50
Why? Because they will have the energy, experience and ability to take on such an important position.
My fingers are eternally crossed for Whitmer
Did FBI return her home safely?
Katie Porter!!
Nobody please, thank you
Still pulling for Ron Paul!
How about Mayor Joseph Fitzgerald O’Malley Fitzpatrick O’Donnell The Edge “Joe” Quimby?
Seems like a great pick for the role /s
Secretary (Mayor) Pete Boot-Edge-Edge. Can’t wait to vote for the guy now and/or in the future.
The double-wide shine of the boot edge of your grind?
