Oh, I don't disagree. It's just sad that Pete may be the best the Democrats have to offer. Part of the reason he's doing well is his age.Originally Posted by B-Fly

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

Perspective. I see him as more of the same IE: Centrist, Status Quo, Etc. and in that absolutely NOT the best thing for the Party.

You may be right about the best thing for the Party.
But is the best thing for the Party the best thing for the country?
And which is more important?
The Country, of course. But again--I'm sure there are differing perspectives on that as well.

I think a centrist is the best for the country.
Although I'm a little biased as a centrist.
Oh, that I agree with 100%, as I'm sure you already know.
Mayor Pete has done a great job considering no one knew who he was 12 months ago. If another Dem were to win the presidency, he should be guaranteed a top job within the administration.
I'd rather have Bloomberg, Klobuchar or Biden if we're talking centrists. Warren and Bernie are still my top two. I think many MAGAts will consider anyone other than Trump winning a complete disaster so I don't think it really matters from their end who wins if it's not their demigod.
If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Absolutely. After Klobuchar and Yang finished 5th and 6th, it's essentially coming down to Mayor Pete and four people in their 70s. That's his biggest advantage and differentiator at this point. I'm not thrilled about the age of most of the leading candidates, either. Note that the last three Democratic presidents, Obama, Clinton and Carter (and three of the last four, with Kennedy), were all relatively young when they won the nomination and the presidency.
Fixed.

Ok, Big 5.
Which would make the worst POTUS.
