    I think it’s great that there are several really great choices here - a stark contrast from the GOP cesspool and their pick of Just Dance Vance.

    For me though, my pick is Mark Kelly. Who doesn’t absolutely love and admire an astronaut? They have seen some crazy shit, and had to work their asses off to get where they’re at. He obviously has way more accolades than just that, but I’m drawn to that one specifically.

    That being said, that’s just what’s in my head, I don’t know enough about all of them to really be an expert on each potential pick, and it sounds like each has some really great things to bring to the table.

    Whatever choice is made, I doubt we will hear about Dems scrambling to replace them within a couple weeks because they previously called Kamala a deplorable human being or were rumored to fuck couches, lol.

      Everybody likes Kelly it seems. The fact he was an astronaut is cool, but the issues are what matters to me honestly.

      Kelly opposes Medicare for all. This is my deal-breaker unfortunately. Opposing Medicare for all is NOT centrist or moderate, it’s right of center or a conservative standpoint. Again, my personal deal breaker.

      Additionally, he opposes the green new deal, and supported expanding oil drilling.

      If he ends up being the choice, I’ll be dissapointed but still obviously vote.
