Biden might be a decent bloke but the world needs a very energetic and actually ruthless Democratic American president who is willing to properly lead the way while there's a modicum of hope.
António Guterres has been speaking well at the UN, but unfortunately that's one toothless tiger. Can't see the Kamala Harris has what it takes, but maybe that's just because the VP has to quiet? Any other potential saviours that could get the ticket?
I realise that the system is well and truly stacked against actual change (see Obama) but perhaps there's a way for a brave, dynamic and selfless candidate? |  |

Maybe that gay mayor who was in the running last time. Can't recall his name. I imagine it wind up Putin something rotten having to deal with him. |  |

Pete Buttigieg - He would be so much better, but the US is so backward he would't stand a chance in getting elected. |  | | |

I'm starting to truly believe that anything short of direct action against the corporations causing all this is doomed to failure. They have too much money and too much power. |  |

I would hope for such a candidate to present themselves as you describe, but I fear the word selfless might be a stretch too far. |  | | |

The next President will be Trump or whoever he endorses, so i imagine Ron De Santis, neither are any good for the climate.
No talent really anywhere.
Mayor Pete is certainly a shout, but i dont think he has the support to win an election. Harris is awful. Gavin Newsom perhaps has a chance.
Then you have the left, AOC, Abrams, Omar. Bernie disciples. All would propose change, big players in the green new deal, but 0 chnace of American electing anyone tied to Bernie.
The one to really watch is Jon Ossoff. Senator for Georgia, winning in that marginal last year. He was a journalist by trade, bags of charisma, appeals to the youth, but also had a lot of support with middle class suburban women, who dont like Trump politics. He would definitely symbolise a change, but i would imagine the next election may come too soon. He is definitely worth watching/reading up on. [Post edited 26 Jul 2022 14:27]

Biden wants to. His own party (Manchin in particular) has blocked all legislation so far |  | | |
