Our first astronaut president. If he had a little Aldrin, we might see him punch a flat earther in the face. That would be awesome. Specially if it was a republican flat earther. LOL.

Hey guys! I’ve got a great story!

Lots of randos on Reddit, Mastadon, and Lemmy are saying “Kelly” should be the VP.

GFY Huff…

he’d be great for sure. if we could get gallego and another dem senator to replace him it would be even better. plus katie hobbs being gov would ensure republicans can’t just name whatsherfacenewslady

Jeff Jackson from NC would be my vote. Dude has been pretty great for communicating with constituents, seems to genuinely give a shit, and is pretty progressive.

I remember his posts on r/Charlotte from when I lived there a few years ago. “gives a shit” is definitely the vibe I got from them.
