I thought that during the 2020-2024 interim the Democrats were supposed to be building someone up for the next generation of the party. To no one’s surprise, they’ve been doing exactly fuck-all for four years - but, for insiders who actually care about the party’s future, who are they hanging their hat on? Voters’ confidence in Kamala has tanked; Cuomo was maybe their man until the sexual harassment charges hit (side question: how was he able to skate on the nursing home scandal?). But anyway, who’s the next empty neoliberal they’ll run in future elections?

      She’s going to sheepdog progressives for the rest of her career, and when the time comes to collect the “paycheck” of a better office, or even president, they’re gonna tell her to kick rocks. They’ve sewn trumps head onto Dick Cheneys body and are running that. Why do you hate democracy? This is the most important election of our lives! We have to beat Barron trump. Then maybe you can have an hour off from your 24hour Bitcoin mining job, kiddo.

          Its 2059 Nancy Pelosi is 119 but its time for her to finally pass. Before though another must take her place. Its only just if it passes on to a WoC but at 70 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be too young to lead the Progressive Caucus.

            lol, Nancy will have been mute for the last 20 years, but her aides interpret her will through her morning tea leaves, like Diane Feinstein, but now as oops all farce

          That’s true. A completely impotent position where she can grift, scold, grandstand and backstab, all while being lauded as a champion of democracy

        I think that’s likely, but not guaranteed. If the party is sure she’ll toe the line, and she crushes the party’s anointed candidate in the primaries, then she could be the next Obama.
