I can’t remember where the goofy trope / meme of {paraphrasing here} “you have great thoughts and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter” came from (maybe Chandler Bing? Homer Simpson? I forget) but I always enjoy reading your stuff.
I can’t argue with anything you’ve said regarding Duckworth - considering the last 48 hours, I’d almost love to see Biden choose her just to see Bowtie Tuckercarlson’s head explode on live TV, that miserable fuck.
It does kinda bum me out that Whitmer never caught much fire in the VP selection process (I suppose there’s still a non-zero chance that she gets picked, but it’s not something I’m willing to bet my 401k on).
I remember you being the first one who mentioned her name, and that was the first time that I (a lifelong Texan) had ever even heard her name, and after I researched your post for a bit, I was ready to push all my chips into the middle that she would be the one.
You guys have helped me think much more “outside the box” these last couple of years, that you don’t wanna take Elizabeth Warren out of that Senate seat, and watching Kamala Harris go scorched-earth on these corrupt pricks from the Attorney General seat would be Must-See TV.
So yeah, you’ve sold me on Tammy Duckworth. Let’s do this thing. And yes I’m a Katie Porter guy but I feel like if it was “her time” you guys would be talking about her much much more.
I hope Porter or Bottoms or maybe Whitmer or Harris become the first female President in 2024 or 2028, and I hope we’re all still around to see it. That’d be pretty fucking cool.
