I don't give a flying fuck what race or gender whoever they run is as long as they can win. Obama won because he had charisma. You won't win just because you run some old white dude, Biden would have lost way harder than Harris did. You also don't win progressive points for running a women or minority candidate that loses.

2024 shouldn't have even been a contest if you guys were ready. We are unfortunately saddled in the middle of a conservative anti-woke movement that isn't going away any time soon.
