Gretchen Whitmer but my parents are still wishing for Klobuchar to get somewhere in WH proximity so I'll mention her too.

Jayapal would be hilarious just for how thoroughly a fuck you it would be to the far right to have two WoC on the ticket and then for them to go on and win.

Trump does so good in the debate it backfires and achieves an entirely new level of the kind of social advancement that he rode the backlash into office on in the first place XD.

Patton Oswalt did a bit while back that called trump the "racist's pallette cleanser" after Obama, and honestly I think he might have been onto something. Racists got loud and yelled for 8 years with Obama, and Patton's thought is that they rallied for one last hoopla and got Trump elected. That it was needed for this one last racist brigade before we finally normalized PoC and women in the White House.

I think it also woke us up to the fact that they're still here, and they need to be shunned. Loudly.

Forget shunning, I say get the baseball bats out and stop pretending they need anything but percussive maintenance on their obviously misfiring cranium.

I would love Amy Klobuchar but you know they aren't going to do a double women ticket. Same logic against Gretchen Whitmer. I want MN governor Tim Walz but I haven't heard his name mentioned anywhere.
