    Author seems to have decent enough bonafides to call themselves a socialist.

    But I disagree with this:

    Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan is an effective politician with a promising national future, even if she will never be the great hope of the American left. But she lacks name recognition outside her home state, and she’s never won a national race.

    Anyone named candidate won’t have issues with name recognition after a day or two of being the candidate.

    And she’s ignoring Kamala’s approval numbers are even worse than Biden.

    Over 2/3s of America has no opinion of Whitmere. And sadly enough that makes her our best bet.
