43. She's a great choice.

Too many Democrats are still trying to put things together, protect protocols the Republicans have either blown up completely or ignore, and seem content with just holding on to what they have while they told us this was the most consequential election of our lives and that Trump was an existential threat to Democracy. They do not act like that is the case.

So let's put someone in there who will ignore the stupidity of protocol and push aggresively against this existential threat. It's time to turn to a generation that doesn't get their perfidity.
