55. 2020 hasn't ended yet. Pimping Pete 2024 seems gauche under the circumstances.

Oct 2020

1. Biden (who was not my primary vote) may run in 2024 and I will not primary a sitting Dem at this stage of our crumbling democracy. Don't be a Pete Nader.

2. 2024 is not in play right now, 2020 is, and the slate is set.

3. If Biden is not running in 2024, and 1/2021 to 11/2024 sees some positives, the republicans will go as dirty as they can so a sitting VP with no real scandals (and I imagine high profile) should have high support. A nasty primary could make 2024 look like 2016.

4. The idea of a non-white male - specifically a woman of color - President is beyond past due in the USA. Harris will be the first non-white male VP in history and the first woman VP. That is historic just like President Obama's presidency was historic.

5. Starting 2024 primary hopes now is gauche.
