Bluesky libs love The Onion.

But that article was very unpopular there. I searched for it and I saw it had been posted over and over again the last ~24 hours. Everybody was fishing for likes. I started at the top of the search again and I scrolled down. I stopped after I had seen ~14 posts. The highest rated post was 6 likes.

I guess it's not funny if you can imagine it actually happening in excruciating detail.

Who else are they going to vote for in 2028?

Somewhere Gretchen Whitmer is crying.

In all seriousness - other than Newsom - it's pretty hard for me to imagine any dem firing up the base and even coming close to winning.

Somewhere Bernie is saying "What am I chopped liver?"

To be honest - I don't remember his 2020 delegate and popular vote numbers at all. But I'll bloviate for a while anyway. I don't think he'd ever have a chance to be president other than sneaking in the backdoor by being the veepee and getting lucky somehow. I think his elite appeal doesn't translate to average Americans. The public probably see him as friendly but also a technocrat dork who doesn't know how to eat a barbequed rib. And I assume if he somehow got the nomination - he'd run a hilariously bad campaign in the general. He's expend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to get "left-leaning" GOP to vote for him.

The GOP is openly fash - of course - and his plan would be a big loser. Many GOP will never vote for a gay person. But I don't think he'd accept that. He'd assume he had Obama 2.0 magic and he has enough moderate right-wing cred to get votes.

That was fun. It got my mind off 2025 hellworld.

He's got a beard now, though. And he's from the Midwest. He's clearly a man of the people.

I'm going to have to work harder to be silly or the h word will grind me down.
