Don't worry: this place doesn't reflect the general american public in any meaningful way. That said, the general american public is probably a bit confused as well.
I'll throw my 2 cents in: Jon Stewart should make a sketch about how he jokingly accepts the candidacy but then it turns out to be official to his "dismay".
Would be great except for the fact that Jon Stewart himself made a GREAT argument for why the skills to educate and entertain the American public do NOT align with the responsibilities of the office of the president. Those skills DO align with what's needed to successfully address congress, but not with playing the politics game.
Sounds like Kamala Harris is gonna be the next candidate. Biden's already endorsed her and I'm sure there's some superdelegate bullshit going on that will screw other candidates.
It could be the second time the Democrats field an unpopular and disliked female candidate against Trump.
Do people really feel as sour about Kamala as they did Hilary? Hilary made people feel slimy for voting for her to some degree, she was arrogant and callous.
