I'm right with you. If we want to get some of the 'never Trump' republicans, we have to give them something they can palate. A half black/half Indian woman won't win us any of the 'never Trump' votes. We need someone they can relate to... old, white and straight.

You've got my vote, buddy.

Or maybe that Gov. Beshear from Kentucky would be good? Guy could certainly skewer Vance's bullshit. Hillbilly my ass. HE may have come from that but he's a big money technocrat now and should be launched into the sun with Musk.

Shit I'd take Adam Kinzinger at this point - may actually be the smartest choice.

Find that I can groove with the beat when I let go
So put your worries on hold
Get up and groove with the rhythm in your soul

Are we actually capable of electing a woman (forget the color) in this day and age?

It may be time to get back in touch with my Norwegian relatives...
i mean hillary won the popular vote, and people hated her.
 female isnt an issue tbh.
 
realistically the 2 major issues that were the  dems problems are still problems.
1. economy- regardless of facts, your average undecided voter is gonna vote on their grocery bill more then anything.
2. the republicans have spent the last 4 years passing massive amounts of voter supporesion laws in every place they could.

personally, i'm all for Kamela at this point.
for starters shes the only candidate allowed to use Bidens warchest.
shes also the only high profile pick willing to lose basically. the others want to wait 4 years.
she defnitely invigorates the turnout for the younger and minority dems and independants. that mighta passed on voting between 2 80 year old white men.
-you're not going to lose any "anyone but trump" dem votes. you had those... i dont think there's many masogionistic dems left tbh., theyve found their way to the right a long time ago.

Very important to remember

Agree with all of the above.
It's about energizing the "non base" people and getting them to show up.
For better or worse, a white, Christian, hetero man who is preferably from a battleground state will help.
Kamala has to show she has balls just as big as Trump. Leadership and looking Presidential and all that.
The Dems have to show something concrete they are FOR and how it will help middle America's bank book, at the same time calling out Trump's lies.
and maybe Trump will somehow shoot himself in the foot.

I haven't heard his name in pundit spewing, but Tim Walz of MN really impressed me when I was living there.  He's as boring as they come, with a background in education, which we desperately need a refocus on as a country.  Fuck your guns, grab a book.
The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order; the continuous thread of revelation.

Pretty much sums it up. 
Also add job market - in shambles
Schooling/Upper education - underfunded/unaffordable 


Feel like more and more just petty theft and shady practices are going on too. Any way to get $ or one up I suppose. My old landlord in Denver took my security deposit and the bill was pretty much landscaping and some outside hole repair (I was in an apartment building. I didn't have a yard).
