    If I’m voting for the next president, I believe that they should be representing all Americans instead of primarily representing corporations and big donors.

    Ideally, they should have clear principles, charisma, an ability to lead, a vision for the future, and have the ability to recognize that not everybody is as privileged as they are.

    I don’t feel that a person who fails to meet any of the aforementioned criteria is suited for the highest office in the country. Maybe that’s just me.

      Sure, but it’s a multiple choice question and, right now, there are only two possible options. If both options are bad, the best use of your vote is choosing the less bad one.

        The primary is 7 months away. Nobody can vote yet and neither of us know exactly what will happen between now and then.

        Regardless, I see the person pushing populist policies as the lesser evil. Janet Mills could win the race if she leaned into populist policies, but she won’t.

        Janet Mills is the most unpopular Democratic governor in the US and is extremely pro-corporate. I don’t see her winning against Susan Collins.
