I would normally agree with this but I have a worse candidate: Feijoa. Which some also called a pineapple-guava but tastes nothing like either. We tried making jam, bread or just eating it and cannot find any redeeming use. And I wish it did because our tree is prolific
Feijoa, also known as the pineapple guava: 
It is a fascinating fruit with a distinctive flavour profile that marries tropical and citrus notes
This green, egg-shaped fruit is native to South America, particularly regions like Brazil and Uruguay. Still, it's also cultivated in other parts of the world, including New Zealand and the United States. 

Pictures of green fruit, some cut open to reveal white flesh. Quoted by Young Farmer

Why would Democrats agree to any budget deal when all of it can be overturned by executive fiat?

This is part of the big manufacturing lie: that people can get jobs with no education or training just wielding screwdrivers. Apple cannot make iPhones in the US without an army of tooling engineers, and we don’t even have the tooling engineers here to educate an army of tooling engineers.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Again, this idea has been floating out there for ages, and many other governments around the globe use the concept of shadow cabinets. Why haven't the Dems actually done this?
