Looking forward to the full court Mayo Pete campaign.

It's the donors that are forcing this; the Democratic Party loathes their base as much as the GOP fears theirs. And so the person the pick will no doubt be as performatively but meaninglessly woke as Pelosi kneeling in kente cloth while fighting to keep black people's medical bills as high as possible.

Absolutely, I'd like to donate immediately, but don't want to donate to the corporate controlled DNC because they are responsible for getting us in this mess.

Donors, of course, drive everything in post-Citizens United politics. But I also believe a fair amount of polling did Biden in, as well as some gaffes like forgetting the name of his SecDef, so he called him "the black guy".

They did before, too.

This all started before Reagan and has been moving at a steady pace, devolving with each President.
