There will be at least one indie headliner. 

While I like Kamala she came across very establishment and I think Newsom may be the same. I think the California liberal image would work against in areas they need to win.

The trouble is someone like that may increase the vote in liberal areas they win anyway,  but would be toxic in the swing states.

I have met compassionate people and twats on both ends of the political spectrum. I think it’s dangerous ti generalise depending on how people vote.

I agree about this point, my daughter is 14 and says all the boys in her school love Trump and Farage. I find this quite a scary fact.   I agree about your podcast point to the extent that the right are using the platform more effectively, but think it’s simplistic to say the right are talking about simple solutions and the left realism. To me the left need to get better at delivering a message and understanding the priorities of people. If they are prioritising issues like Israel/Palestine or trans rights they will lose many people straight away.   I also do feel the right sometimes has a point about a tendency of some on the left to no platform or try to protect people from views they don’t agree with. This macho politics isn’t going away so we need our next generation of  left wing politicians to fight it head on and encourage the debate.
