One of the bright, rising stars in the Democratic party is Pete Buttigieg, who is young, smart and articulate. It's too bad he's gay though (and I say this as a gay man myself), because it likely disqualifies him from ever being elected either as a senator or governor from Indiana, or as U.S. president. Of course, I hope I'm wrong about that.

Then there's Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro who are future hopefuls. But as far as any Democrats currently in the Senate, I agree that there just don't seem to be any strong or outspoken enough to become our next leader.

I get what you're saying & I do agree to a point, and I've heard this complaint before, but what do people want the dems to say or do? They're ridiculed if they say something because it wasn't the right thing to say or they say it wrong or they should have said it earlier. You call Kamala a lame duck VP, but what VP has ever been in the spotlight? Pence didn't even speak out when he was threatened with a noose. Kamala called Trump a fascist, which was true, and then that comment was used to blame her for losing the election. Why are the repubs even paying attention to musk dictating the budget after it was a bipartisan vote? Everyone agreed on it. This is still the current administration, not the incoming one. Why aren't the independent candidates, who basically stole votes from Harris, not speaking up? Why aren't decent billionaires like Warren Buffet speaking up? Everyone is silent. Maybe silence will be golden--everyone who voted for this will get far worse than what they thought they voted for. For better or worse (mostly worse), it's up to the people now to decide what kind of country they want. And for them to figure out how important the price of eggs really is. It's time for people to grow up.
