Newsome and Pritzker had their chance in 2024 and declined to take the nomination, there for the taking.

What is wrong with the party, we have zero challenges? Only token challenges for president by an old leftist, that still almost wins. No challenges for house or senate. Then 2024 not a single challenge for the top spot, 4 plus months to go, proposed anointee the most unpopular person possible, that never breached 30% approval for a deeply unpopular administration at 40% approval for 3 years.

Then didn't see fit to offer any reform running as that deeply unpopular status quo. No health care, no drugs, no calling out business interests openly cheating us. Broad empty platitudes, we aren't the republicans.

Everyone in the party needs to be replaced with maybe a few exceptions. They were chosen to be weak, chosen because the donors fear someone taking back the license they've corruptly garnered through captured government, fear a populist government would modestly impair their record profits from their companies.
