Dear Lord that's a long loving list

If it's a list of everyone that has ever been mentioned in a Buzzfeed article, longwinded Facebook post, or email forward in the same sentence as the word "President" it should probably have Oprah on it tho

e: also you have forgotten the current frontrunner of the Presidential race (due to being the only declared candidate), Democratic rising star and progressive darling Congressman John Delaney

but it's ok, everyone on Earth has forgotten him

Motherfucker probably doesn't get birthday cards from his kids

I can't believe you left out 2020 iowa winner John Delaney and California super Tuesday winner Luis guitterez who will combine forces to beat a Mike pence/ivanka ticket after Donald has a heart attack

I still think the primary should be restricted to people with Bs in their names
Beto
Bernie
Booker
Beth Warren
Bloomberg
Billary

That's a good set of options right there

I miss Obama so much. His dignity and class is so sorely needed right now.

Its time to stop pretending there are two equal sides.

There is the intellectually and morally superior side, and then there are the right wingers.

The right hates that we Reddit-browsing and NPR-listening "coastal liberal elites" are the winners in a service-based multicultural globalized society because of our open worldview and high intelligence, and they blame all their failures on minorities and undocumented immigrants. They are seeing how America is increasingly becoming vibrantly diverse, and how non-white people will soon be the majority and losing their privilege terrifies them. Republicans have now become the party of old white people who refuse to give up their white privilege and who wants to make America white.

I've come to realize that much of American history is made up of periods where liberals drag right wingers kicking and screaming into the future, then we try to compromise for a while, then we go back to dragging.

"No, right wingers, we're not going back to England."

"No, right wingers, you can't form your own country with blackjack and slaves."

"No, right wingers, you can't keep denying women the right to votes."

"No, right wingers, we're not going back to the way things were before the depression."

"No, right wingers, literacy tests aren't constitutional."

"No, right wingers, you can't deny homosexuals the right to marry."

It's always been liberals dragging conservatives against their will into a better future. I grew up in one of the in-between eras, where we all thought that compromise was a possibility, but I'm more and more realizing how mistaken I was about that. It's time once again for liberals and progressives to stop being nice and drag our country into the 21st century.

The simple fact of the matter is that conservatives just aren't offering any good ideas any more. What's the compromise between "We need to stop climate change" and "Lol, climate change isn't a real?" Or "Homosexuals should have the right to marry" and "Homosexuals cause hurricanes?"

What middle ground is there between the future Obama represented (diversity, tolerance, class, education, healthcare for all, multiculturalism) vs the horrible future Trump represents (white privilege, racism, sexism, bigotry, discrimination)? There is none, we cannot allow idiotic racists from pulling us back. The demographics have changed, old white men should not control everything, and our country must change as well to reflect the new progressive reality.

Because there's no way to campaign for cabinet posts in a new administration and Holder clearly wants back into the game.
