Truly transforming this country requires more than winning the White House. While Beto ORourke, Andrew Gillum, and Stacey Abrams would all be amazing presidential candidatesand probably excellent presidentsthey are each uniquely suited to advance the larger cause of political transformation by running again for the offices they just recently sought and fell short of attaining.

run again... they would get even closer, which mean win. I like how they didn't try to be less "liberal" - I think voters like candidates who say how they feel and how they expect to compromise.

(8,236 posts)Because despite being an amazing candidate there wasnt really much enthusiasm around the idea of an Abrams 2020 (at least, not that Ive seen).
As of today, I thought about an Abrams 2020 run and Im loving it. I cant think of anything greater.
