Newsom, Pritzker, AOC, Bernie, Murphy, Whitehouse, Crockett - We Need More

At this stage of the game, we need an Alexi Navalny, not a martyr, a fighter with charisma that will lead the majority of Americans to throw out the billionaires.

Any takers? Doesn't have to be a politician.

We don't have one yet, but one will rise from the ashes. One innocent person molested by ICE will happen and will floor us.

You can only fuck liberty so long before it fights back.

I think Jamie Raskin and Melanie Stansbury are also two very strong communicators and explainers. Robert Garcia is doing a great job with oversight right now. Adam Schiff, Cory Booker, and Eric Swallwell all have their strengths. There are others that bring important talents and skill sets to the saving Democracy team. They don't all have to be on the front lines.
