I like Biden (in the sense that he opposes the fascist empire trying to conquer Ukraine while the other guy doesn’t and Biden supports Democracy; also he’s pretty funny) but man he really sucks sometimes, with the protectionism being the obvious example. This is probably just a general trend of how politics in America is heading, with populists in both parties becoming more powerful and influential (Biden is arguably a pseudo-populist at this point, just infinitely less so than anyone else with a chance at the Presidency). I’m still obviously gonna vote for Biden in November, but in the long run, I’d like to support more pro-liberalism candidates in primaries in future elections to at least try to get someone in the Presidency who isn’t a raving protectionist. Who, then, is the most “neoliberal” politician right now in the US with the best chance of becoming President in the near future? (Yes, Jared Polis is the obvious answer, but idk if he’s ever expressed interest in becoming President, and idk if he’d survive a Dem primary cause he’s probably to the right of most Dem voters).

Btw, this isn’t limited to Democrats, if there’s any reasonably neoliberal Republicans who might have a chance at the nomination if/when the Trump coalition implodes and (heavy if) the GOP returns to sanity, I’d consider supporting them in a primary.
