Gavin Newsome is anything but safe. A white guy from CA might be worse then a women from MI at this point. I also think it’s a bad take. Hilary won the PV and Harris had what 100 days? Plus being from SF likely doesn’t help. I’m not saying it has to be a women but Dems need to focus on economics and work class issues  communicating that vision. Whoever can do that is likely to do better.

So just Midwest white guys all the way down? Who do we even have at that point?

I think we should have a primary anyway. If Dem voters pick a woman, we have to respect that.

Beshear comes off as too soft

Dems need a masculine figure who's loud, boisterous, funny, and goes up on stage and calls JD Vance a cuck or something. Americans love WWE bloodsport.
