🧠 Executive Sanity: A Psychological Advisory to the Democratic Party

The Democratic Party is not a reality show. It is not a talent contest. It is not an open mic night for anyone with a microphone and ambition. Governing the United States of America — with its economic, military, and social complexity — requires executive experience. As any psychologist would affirm, competence precedes confidence. And in politics, too often the inverse has been true.

Governors are the only category of Democratic politicians who consistently demonstrate executive leadership, crisis management, budget authority, and bipartisanship under real-world pressure. That’s why, moving forward, only governors with six or more years of experience should qualify for presidential debate stages or serious nomination consideration.

The Six That Matter: A Narrow, Clear Field

Let’s not sugarcoat it: the Democratic bench is short, but it’s also solid. Here are the only six viable 2028 contenders with qualifying experience:

• Gavin Newsom – Governor of California (2019–present)
• Gretchen Whitmer – Governor of Michigan (2019–present)
• Tim Walz – Governor of Minnesota (2019–present)
• Andy Beshear – Governor of Kentucky (2019–present)
• J.B. Pritzker – Governor of Illinois (2019–present)
• Gina Raimondo – Former Governor of Rhode Island (2015–2021)

A Public Therapy Session for the DNC

Dear DNC, it’s time to have a session on the couch. The democratic disorder you’re suffering from isn’t ideological — it’s organizational and psychological. The leadership has abdicated its role as a filter of viability, allowing unqualified voices to seize megaphones under the banner of “diversity of thought.”

Stop the Speculation: The Fantasy Roster Must Go

Speculative candidates like AOC may generate attention, but lack executive readiness. Without credentials, their presence could derail the party. The DNC must clearly state: no executive leadership = no debate stage.

From Chaos to Course-Correction: Understanding the Ship Metaphor

The Democratic Party is not a kayak. It’s a galleon. Factions can’t paddle in different directions. Leadership must guide the rudder, and factions must recognize their place — not as the whole, but as a crucial part of a unified structure.

Final Thoughts: Time for Electroshock Realism

Give voters a slate they can trust. Start with the governors. End the chaos.
