Are Democrats coconut-pilled? Some want to see Kamala Harris run again.
Top officials gathered in Washington suggested an openness to backing the vice president again next time.

If there is a next time, Trump wants to remain in power for life like Putin, and wants to mess with election laws and law enforcement against the states that conduct elections.

I'm sure the overpaid consultants of that billion plus dollars Harris campaign who said to ignore male voters want to grift the same campaign again. Yes she did 8+ points better than Biden's approval rating but she will still be tied to that in four years time.

The easiest path regardless is to pick 'White McWhiteman, the straightest, whitest guy that ever did white' as a candidate because that is who male voters want. And the margins for Republican presidential support among male voters is the biggest it's been since the Reagan landslide of 1984.
