It's such a low bar for the DNC to just put forth a viable candidate, and all they've come up with is a controversial president's wife who doesnt know when to shut up and not tank her own (and others) campaign, a genocidal geriatric strike-breaker, and now, after nearly two decades of blatant, recorded police abuse and widespread protests against police... President "female bad-cop".
And then you want to say hey vote third party and you are literally Hitler
Third party, until the "first past the post" system is treated like a Russian who pissed off Putin (defenestration/thrown out the window) and replaced with ranked choice voting, isnt a viable option either at this time.
Which is insane........because if Michelle Obama even HINTED at running, it would re-energize the entire democratic party.
I mean I guess the same could also be said about Taylor Swift, but personally I would want her to do some lower positions. We've all seen how terrible a president with no experience can go.
