Watch for someone like Xavier Bercerra to rise up in prominence.

The communists need a relative unknown to run in 2024.

I disagree somewhat. I think the electorate will want someone with experience since we will be in big hole by then. Too risky for an unknown.

Cue up the deification of Gavin Newsome. We will hear non-stop how he was in charge of one of the largest economies of the world if California was its own country...blah blah blah blah blah ad nauseum. What he is doing in CA is very popular with the "Karen" crowd and the leftists. I'm not sure the the low information voter are prepared to blame our current mess on liberalism/socialism per se but the blame will be laid on the incompetence of the current administration. The socialists will push that narrative also and push the idea of a true socialist that has their #^(@$* together can fix it.

The Newsome candidate might work as a salable proposition. It is all about presenting reassuring images to the crowds. The candidates must look healthy and confident in media exposure.

What the electorate may want does not matter in the slightest. But what the electorate can tolerate does make some difference, at least for a while. The electorate can tolerate soothing words and pretty lies far longer than I ever expected.

I am imagining that they will try to sell us a "Unity" team consisting of a Democrat President and a Republican Vice-President to "bring us all together" in solving the crisis of the hour.

They will need "bi-partisan support" as they tighten the screws on the rest of us.
