Like, she’s the only viable option at this point, there literally isn’t any other national level politician on the Democratic ticket (under the age of 75) who can rally mass support, as supposed to mass indifference or mass gritted teeth reluctance.
The not-trump side of politics needs an actual win, like, enough of a public mandate to actually push through reforms, not just a barely limping across the line, thin majority. They need a filibuster busting win and a candidate willing to actually make significant reform, and that won’t come from a milquetoast careerist centrist that leans to the right.
We can’t afford an American Starmer.
I'm pretty sure Andy Beshear can do it.
