You love the working class so much your cities are the most unaffordable for the working class. This is why partisan politics is bad, you end up with delusional individuals who think they are the champion for the common folk when your policies are rotten and benefit the 1% political elite. No wonder the richest politicians are Democrats bar none.
Thanks for the chuckle! Mass exodus out of your working class hating states and cities proves you and your party are full of it.
you posted generalizations and your own personal opinion. Post specifics and we can actually debate the issue.
I also want to point out that "economic disparity" is an overused and misused term.
it basically means ciites have rich people who screw the numbers when it comes to income inequality
But here is the thing. a person in a major city making $40,000 is still better off than the person in a town of 4,000 making $14,000 a year.
you are using fancy terms while not actually paying attention to what they mean and why it matters.
Klobuchar's Senate election is the same year. I don't see how she could manage re-election in MN and another Presidential run. It's not like MN is solid for her like NJ is for Cory Booker, who could give the Presidenctial run a shot and then back out and run for his Senate seat and not worry about debating or really competing against a GOP candidate.
And the Black voters, BLM, are completely opposed to her and grew to hate her more while went under scrutiny. They might sit it voting in MN this time too. According to quickfacts, Blacks represent 7.2% of MN population, slightly under the national average which is 13.6% but 7.2% is still significant.
It would be pretty odd for Buttigieg to challenge Harris. They are both the Biden administration at this point, and she is higher ranked with the VP role. If he attempts to challenge her, the sexism argument of a woman can't be President will be brought up.
Elizabeth Warren and Jon Tester are also up for re-election next year. I hope Warren has a Democratic primary challenge in MA with a more likeable progressive or a moderate defeating her. The Democrats throughout the country didn't feel she was the right fit. Even in MA, she lost but if she doesn't have a competitor, then she could be re-elected for her Senate seat.
Both Tester and Sherrod Brown are up for re-election in 2024, and are in Red states. That being said, maybe Sherrod Brown who has been in Senate for too long and will likely lose his Seat anyways, could retire from that, and focus on a Presidential run. He is pally with Kamala Harris though and not sure if he'd fight for it against her or Biden.
This is one of the best posts of its kind that I've ever seen here - calm, sensible, well-informed, astute, and even grammatical!
Personally, about Buttigieg, I just think he's lacking in any large-scale experience.
I'm impressed by your knowledge, but disappointed by the shallowness of your assessments. It makes no sense to quibble about a candidate being too fat (at least for a man), since people didn't care that Trump is obese. But your reply has almost nothing about them in political terms.
Not a Trump fan, but while he is definitely overweight, the loathsome Pritzker is obese. The only reason he is in office is he's rich and Chicago voters are partisan, low info morons
The bold are the ones that can pose some sort of threat imo. Warnock hasn't clinched his seat, a woman as a Demwit nominee won't work, and neither will gay men. Pritzker makes DJT look fit.
A name that people aren't discussing is John Bel Edwards.

Thanks. Agree about Buttigieg- lacking experience. He doesn’t have enough charisma and another thing is he can come off as smarmy.
Jared Polis of Colorado would be a better choice for the gay white male candidate.
Another candidate I was thinking is Larry Hogan, former governor of Maryland. Originally I thought he could run as a Republican but he has limited likelihood when most of Republican voters are MAGA. So, he might be better off switching to the Democratic Party as he doesn’t have much common with the current Republican Party anyways.
He would still be very moderate and could be critical of how far Left the Left has gone and have an appeal, maybe, while supporting keeping affordable care act, womens rights, gay marriage and acknowledging climate change, likely the bare minimum to be a Democrat.
