Hey. The scuttlebutt is that you're considering a 2028 run. I personally can't think of anyone better suited for the job. However, I would suggest---assuming we still have a country in 2028---that you launch, sooner rather than later.

One of the mistakes Kamala made was to jump into the race too late. Of course, it would be an uphill battle for you either way, because we live in a desperately racist and bigoted nation, and Americans hate Gays even more than we hate Black women.

Anyway, the point is that if America can survive the next four years, we're going to need someone who---unlike the orange turd sharting all over the Oval, now---is smart, honest, and brave. All qualities I see in you. I saw those same qualities in Kamala.

But, I think she made 3 fatal mistakes. 1) starting too late. 2) not willing to open up a can of woop-ass. 3) Not being enough of a Democrat. The idea that Republicans will vote for a Dem who's "Conservative" enough is just plain stupid. They voted for Trump because they hate us. No other reason.

The turning point in the 2020 election came at a debate where Biden told #FatHitler to shut the fuck up. No such moment occurred at Kamala's debate. When he did his " #TheyAreEatingTheDogs " thing, she could have said, "Shut the fuck up." She might have won... if only.
