Yo, hello!
This place is driving me nucking futs, but I am ignoring that today. Voldemort and his Cabinet are doing a bunch of awful shit, and I hate it, and I want it to stop. This is some seriously untenable dog crap, on an hourly basis no less, and I can’t take it anymore.
So I daydream. Who do we have who can defeat Mango Mussolini in 2020? The Hill has come out with a bit of a Democratic Wish List, naming 43 possible Democratic candidates. :P There are some interesting names on here, some “you’ve gotta be shitting me” names, and (of course) the usual suspects. To be honest, most of these names are too conservative for my tastes, but after dealing with Voldemort’s stupid ass for 100+ days, I’m feeling rather desperate. Sue me.
Do you have a Dream Team, or a Dream Cabinet? Have fun with this, go nucking futs! :)
I’m going to list all the names, but not the details, along with my initial reaction. You can go to The Hill link for details or you can use Teh Google.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) — Yes, please!
Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) — I could get behind this.
