Gov. Beshear could absolutely be president if we still have free and fair elections in 2028. I, personally, wouldn’t be thrilled by a centrist Democrat bringing us further to the right via compromises where the left gets a shit sandwich. But he’s very good at being a politician.
We need to stop seeing governors and senators and representatives and saying, “they would be a great president!”
Instead we need to see teachers, co-workers, and neighbors and say, “they would be a great on the city council or county government or as a state representative.”
We need to stop thinking in terms of only one chance of victory every four years and start putting people who care about us in places where they can help.
Of course, that means we have to be prepared to run, and that is hard as hell. So many of us are stretched to the absolute limit just trying to survive. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can do it.
I think it’d be better but not ideal. America obviously needs reforms but a 4 year reprieve from the dumbest dumbfucks in recorded history trying to annex Greenland and cut off funding for cancer research would be nice.
I’m in agreement with your comments, but this is basically what Biden ran on and it brought us here. I listened to his recent interview on Pod Save America and he is definitely cut from the same “move past our differences and bring America together” cloth. While I’d vote for that in the general, I’d volunteer for a candidate who promises accountability such as deporting Musk and investigating and impeaching Trump’s cronies who remain in office.

Would it be better? Or worse… than what we have now.
