Well according to some posters- Ossoff &Shapiro are Jewish, thus non starter due to Gaza. AOC, and Harris can not win as they are women, same with Buttigieg as he is gay. Harris and Buttigieg are also losers, thus disqualified. Amazing what some people think?

I do not think Gaza will be such a big issue in two years, but who knows?

I can not see what that is a Bad Thing. Biden was a great President.

Of course, i have said AOC and Buttigieg could use more experience.

I concur here.
