I’m OK with Harris. Not thrilled, but OK.

It would have been nice to get Warren. Sanders has the same age issue (though is still mentally there in interviews) as Biden, and that window has closed. So many people at the federal level have clung to their positions for so long, it feels like as a country, we wouldn’t be familiar with people in the primes of their life actually running the show.

At 45, I shouldn’t still be waiting for my generation to have any level of power. AARP is coming for me in 10 years.

    My dream candidate would be Andrew Yang.

    Realistically? I don’t know. The Democrat elite is deathly allergic to genuine progressive economic populism.

      In 2020 he would have been great, the recent publicity of him though, idk if he’s still the best candidate.

          The only things I could find are his tweet,

          “I’m standing with the people of Israel who are coming under bombardment attacks, and condemn the Hamas terrorists,” he tweeted. “The people of NYC will always stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel who face down terrorism and persevere.”

          And another article that was saying he apologized for saying Joe Rogan isn’t racist

            Kind of. Not in the way you think. His not at all advocating that people should be buying Bitcoin for investment, and Monero to replace cash transactions.

            His ideas are around using it as an alternative form of currency that can be given to people for charitable volunteer work. A way for the government to reward people for being good neighbors and helping their community.

              That doesn’t really make sense to use multiple currencies like that
