I guess so long as there is a democratic selection process wherein the people can choose their party leader, that’d be an improvement.
What's become clear in American politics is that it doesn't matter if you hang a little to the left or a little to the right so long as you're not cleft down the center.
Walz's self-awareness is refreshing, but his track record doesn’t inspire national confidence. Lacks deeper analysis of whether his candidacy would be viable given his role in the 2024 defeat.

I wouldn't mind a big field of (good) Democratic candidates. Sanders, AOC, Crockett, Walz, they can all campaign. They can mutually have have their rivals as VP picks, and Sanders can have a public contract where the VP can remove him from office, if his age makes him mentally unfit for office.
What I would like to see, is a dynasty of (genuinely) progressive candidates of at least 24+ years. Sanders/Jasmine --> Jasmine/AOC --> AOC/???.
The Geronocrats and Republicans had the opportunity to show their worth, and have been found wanting. It is time for some new blood that truly cares about the wellbeing of Americans and the globe.
and Sanders can have a public contract where the VP can remove him from office, if his age makes him mentally unfit for office.
That sounds a bit redundant with the 25th amendment.
He's a better candidate than Harris was...
That bar is at the very center of the Earth's inner core.
No fucking way.
Walz is likable and has that working class appeal, but his debate performance wasn't great. I'd vote for him, but I don't think he'll make it through the primaries. I'd much rather have Pete Buttigieg personally.
that would be so based.
