    He’s the corporate dem tho so we won’t see media following anyone else.

    That’s not true. There’s a RFK Jr., who the press is paying attention to because he’s to the right of Biden and also a crazy anti-Semitic antivaxxer.

    And there’s also breathless speculation about nature’s perfect centrist democrat Joe Manchin running.

    I wonder when the last time a progressive primaried a sitting president was.

      I wonder if RFK Jr. knows how unsuited to the job he is because I have yet to see a reason that makes sense for him running.

        I think both he and Manchin are running/considering running because they expect that Biden might die of old age before the primaries and they think they’ll have an easier time in a primary against Harris. Or after some or all of the primaries and they think they might stand a chance in a chaotic environment.
