Dems Problem Solved (A little humor)

Good news voters!

I had coffee over the weekend with Marty Wall with whom I worked at the Puget Suond Business Journal in Seattle in the early 2000s.

Part of our coffee clatch addressed a viable ticket for the Democrats given all the handwringing that was taking place after the poor debate performance of President Biden.

Well, we are happy to share with you, my fellow Americans, some big news. You are looking at what we believe to be a winning ticket this November.

Our merits:

I am confident I can hold the Biden supporters who want the “nice guy Catholic” but with a few years shaved off. Instead of “Scrappy Joe from Scranton” I will be “Scrappy Steve from Seattle.”

Marty and I provide a balanced ticket.

I graduated from the University of Washington and he may have graduated from Washington State University. Graduating is not as big a deal over there. They are just grateful people attend, so that is good enough for me.

Marty is also a vet, so that will help capture the Schwarzenegger, Stallone/Rambo crowd. He is a previous People magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" winner (cannot verify the year) which will help pull in independent, suburban soccer mom voters.

Both of us like the NBA, just like Obama.

Also, I helped create the internet with Al Gore.

I think I might even have had a hand in AI. I will run that past ChatGPT after this is posted and get back to you.

My feeling is “If Chester Arthur* could do this, then I can do this.”

I won’t overpromise, but will commit to sending Majorie Taylor Greene to Saint Helena Island.

Also, I think this can help me on the dating front.

I will have a decent paycheck for at least four years plus an airplane and helicopter.

If you don’t have much personality, like me, then having an airplane is helpful I’ve heard.

Marty said, through his network, he can expand the base. He feels it has been a lost opportunity to not reach out more directly to drug dealers and biker gang members.

He also said he is fully committed to crisscross the country visiting sports bars to show his common man touch.

.Jimmy Carter’s campaign book title was “Why Not the Best?”
Ours is "Why not?"

We will have a Go Fund Us page up ASAP, but I suggest everyone, since you are so excited right now, go ahead and Venmo me money today. Lots and lots of money.

Thank you Steve and Marty for sacrificing your (apparently unfulfilled) private lives for your country! We need more like you (non-convicted criminals) to run for the highest office in the land :-)
