Are they actually good? Let me paint a picture for you. Their “default” burger has 2 beef patties. It is full on indulgence. You can’t eat it more than once a month if you intend to live past 40. It’s extremely good though.

Harris is basically the consensus pick on paper, but she was a paper tiger as a campaigner.
Both parties have very few members on their bench. The 2016 GOP field should all have retired in shame after losing to Trump. Rubio is the Harris equivalent, and Cruz, who came in second, is so hated by everyone who has worked with him, ever, that he made Trump look appealing.
I don't think Cheney can win the primary as a gay woman. I can't think of as many "young" Democratic leadership off the top of my head. There's Harris, Buttigieg and Booker maybe? If Rep Lamb and Sen Kelly get some national profile then maybe those two can be promising. But the lack of a visible future for the Democrats in the DNC this year has me concerned about the party. There was no promising Obama-esque figure that emerged, and all their elder statesmen in the vein of Kerry or Biden are way too old. Also, Liz Cheney isn't a lesbian, that's her sister Mary.
Please don’t call Buttigieg the future of the Dem party. If that’s the case we are well and truly fucked

So control of the Senate will be decided in January. 2 runoffs in GA.

If Biden gets 60% of 150, that's 90k
Then Trump gets 60k
So that gets us 30k closer. I wouldn't say its a done deal.

So Biden needs to run around 2:1 in order to win GA. I actually think he can do that
Yeah Biden is running 70% or better in a few of those, including the largest section of those votes.

So the likely picks for 2024 if Biden only want to do 1 term in no particular order.
Harris
AOC(will she be old enough)
Beto
Yang
Warren
Pete
I think beto has the best shot, has enough creed with both progressives and moderates to get the vote
|
AOC won't be old enough. Or have enough cred. I'll hope for Yang but be prepped for Harris and Beto.
|
AOC needs to stay in the house and recruit more squad members. That and build up experience. Pete is a hack, along with Warren who stuck in the race in hopes of getting a cabinet position. Yang I could see. Or even Harris/Yang.

Thats enough for me to know that they use quality/fresh ingredients. Only downside is that its very pricey.

For 2024 I like Tammy Duckworth, maybe someone like Gretchen Whitmer or Hakeem Jeffries.

Biden holds Maricopa. Arizona looks like a lock.
Maybe not? I keep seeing conflicting information that Trump did well and might flip.

AOC is not gonna run in 2024. Democrats around the nation don't trust her enough yet, and she's the republican boogeyman right now.
I think Beto learned from his unsuccessful run this time around that he doesn't really have a presence outside Texas and also won't run in 2024. I hope/expect to see the other four, though I wish we had a good candidate on the horizon that we didn't spend the first quarter of 2020 discussing how they would lose to trump.

Only about 90k ballots left in GA. All concentrated around Atlanta, and Savannah. Whoever wins it's going to be by a hair.

By numbers from The Guardian (which I assume are just the AP numbers since they call states based on AP):
* Clayton and DeKalb are at >80% Biden, so taking those 14K at an 80-20 split makes up 8.4K * Fulton is at >70% Biden, so taking those 32K at a 70-30 split makes up 12.8K
This leaves roughly a 17K gap with 64K left, which can be done with 40.5K/64K ~ 63% of what's left.
Hmm, not feeling that optimistic since the other counties mentioned are below 60%, but there is the wiggle room of mail-in vs in-person and the fact that these are deliberately underestimates on my part, soooo :/

Dude Beto is an empty suit, but worse at pulling it off than Buttigieg
