I'll assume you're asking in good faith despite coming across as an obtuse chunk of drywall.

Most of the big bets are waiting for midterms before making a move. It will be a handful of names like Mark Kelly, AOC, I wouldn't be surprised if Ro Khanna jumps into the ring. It may be more too, but again, midterms are going to basically dictate who gets the power and support.

My bets are on Mark Kelly currently, and leads my personal list alongside AOC. Not perfect candidates, but would be amazing leaders of US policy and tone for the repair-work we need to do.

On the other side, we're going to get an absolute circus of freakish, stupid right-wing nutjobs and youtube influencers and CEO's. They're also waiting for the midterms to get a gauge of how good their chances are.

(I've been around a few decades, this is not new, we are going to get a democrat president, who will spend 8 years fixing the economy, then dumbass fucking chud population will finally rage at the woke and liberalism and elect some kind of mecha-Mussolini to start a bunch of wars and start the cycle over again.)

I encourage you to actually get politically informed so you can you know, vote intelligently. Assuming you're in the US.

If you read any of their comments you'll sadly see they are not doing anything in good faith.

Best one from them is that they apparently know absolutely nothing about newsom

That sounds about right, actually. Will anyone punish the corrupt nazis in office though?
