As "super solid" as he is, imagine if he spent time to find an up and coming progressive at the local level and really pushed for his running publicly.

But nope. He wants power. Like Pelosi. Like Schumer. Like so many party Democrats that don't have the stones to actually resist Trump and the Republican agenda because they'd rather hold onto what little influence they have now than actually change the country.

That would certainly be a bonus that he stumped for younger progressives, though he has a pretty full plate. There are not many as vocal as Wyden when it comes to consumer rights, privacy, repair laws etc….

Is his age holding him back from also going for the throat in our democracy’s death throes? I dunno. It’s probably the most important subject to keep laser-focused on, but I don’t classify him in the same orbit as pelosi or Schumer, both of which had their time and neither of which I particularly care for.

As far as representation goes, he stands among the better to best IMO, but yeah, I’m sure he could always improve, or elevate a suitable replacement.

At least he isn’t Fetterman
