Liberation Day is ludicrous. We are way off from being liberated. We are heading to inflation. “Buy American” is easy for them to say at this point.

I have never understood why Gretchen Whitmer has been floated as a possible presidential candidate. She has been a good governor, but the skills for being a good governor are not the skills required for being a good president. She has no international experience and no Federal experience. Yes, she was a new and refreshing voice as governor of Michigan, but that is not enough to make a strong presidential candidate nationally. Biden was probably our most qualified candidate and president ever, and it showed in his picks for his cabinet. I just wish that he had had the energy needed to make it through one term.

When Democrats get stuck on the superficial--Fetterman's hoody or Kristin Simena's sexuality--they do not examine whether the candidate will be effective, or even willing, to advance the values of the Democratic party. Fetterman has had some votes, particularly on members of the president's cabinet, that are directly detrimental to the country. Sinema enjoyed the grandstanding, having learned from Joe Manchin, and helped tank Build Back Better, as well as doing nothing for reproductive rights or voting rights.

Republicans make this mistake too--just look at George Santos--although a distressing number of Democrats were drawn into the lies that he spun, which is why he won a district that he should not have won.

When we select a presidential nominee, we need to ignore the clickbait on what he or she eats, how she or he exercises, or any traits that the media uses to paint a picture of the candidate rather than doing the deep dive we need or even asking the simple question: Is this person qualified?

Democrats need to promote what we stand for “Medicare” FDR knew, JFK never did this, we need to get together and promote a person that is respected and I think Gretchen should run

I love this and Rachael Maddow from MSNBC got on Bluesky. My opinion who should run is Josh Shapiro he is really a good guy. I don’t regret being involved with Joe Biden’s Campaign as he passed a lot of policies. He got NATO together, The Chips Act, The Infrastructure Act. I know Joe is old but I miss him. I met Joe and Jill Biden, and I met Obama personally too thanks to my sister who died from cancer
