    Buttigeig is likely going to run given that he is giving up his chance at a Senate seat.

    I feel like Walz is going to run as well. He’s been showing up in national media a lot and seems to be becoming the face of the opposition.

    Newsom seems like he’s going to run as well, but he’s been making terrible choices recently.

      Yeah, Walz refuses to announce (like they always do) but you don’t make the amount of noise he is without gearing up for something. I don’t think there’s any way he doesn’t run, and currently he might even be my favorite of those that I’m confident will run. We’ve got a while before the next presidential election though, so anything could happen and I can’t really be bothered thinking about.

      Yeah, he’s trying to become the preordained nominee by making choices party leadership likes.

        This guy gets it. Speaking as a Californian, this is exactly, precisely what’s happening. I don’t use this term a lot because it resurfaces trauma of not realizing I was posting in a thread on Hexbear, but Newsom is straight up the textbook definition of a shitlib. He’s always kinda been a shitlib, with a ratio of one kinda okay decision to like four disappointing, mediocre, and shitty decisions that make the wealthy and corporate donors happy. Now that he sees a path to the presidency laid bare, he’s fully embracing his shitlib instincts. Please, for the love of Buddha, don’t vote for him in the primary.

          As though primary votes matter. The party successfully argued in court that they don’t.
