    She won’t win though. She is just not well liked enough, sadly. Don’t know why, but look back at her previous polling, and it’s obvious she just never really hit it off with voters. Who knows if that’s just because of the choices that were at hand or not, and things have entirely changed, but it’s still a metric people look to when testing whether this should happen. The biggest differential might be who she would choose as her running mate, which could shift either way. If it’s Gavin Newsom, I expect a lot of turmoil. If it’s another woman, think of the pearl clutching midwesterners and plains folk who are scared of “women running the country” (a real bullshit thing that is still quite negatively polled).

    There just aren’t a lot of good options right now, unless they go the celeb route for that clout in what the crazy MAGAmorons are calling “vote stealing”. Michelle Obama, Jon Stewart, George Clooney, whomever. It’s fucking dumb we’ve gotten to this stage and they don’t have a backup plan for preventing worse.
