47. Unlikely he'll try to stay "officially President"

Fri Sep 26, 2025, 01:49 PM

Friday

More likely it will be J.D. Vance as next President.

I'm still hoping that we Dems can get our act together, but I have to admit, I don't see the kind of soul searching and hard-eyed thought work I would have liked to have seen so far. As it is, we might squeak in just barely with somebody like Newsom.

Our main friend in that would be Trump's incompetence and that things go south for the United States. It would not be our clear-eyed, persistent, and courageous vision of a future Democratic Party. A lot of us are currently a little lazy and hoping for being the lesser of two evils. We need to express a positive vision and to de-mic the undemocratic and illiberal hangers on who hurt our credibility.
