Who would you like to see run?

I would too, but unfortunately he's not eligible (he wasn't born in the US).

AOC would be compelling. Maybe Pritzker.

Edit: maybe not Pritzker then.

AOC will be the left candidate.

Not sure if she can win the primaries, who knows if she will win the general, I give her better odds than Newsom/Kamala who seem uniquely able to fumble it against MAGA

She'll get Bernie'd. What she should do is get mitt Romney as her running mate and go independent.

Nope, you're only allowed to pick an empty suit of vague platitudes. Rules are rules.

Yeah thats the killed instinct that democrats show. Dont have primaries, dont have elections - annoint leaders by all stepping back.

It worked really well when Hiliary Clinton had an unopposed run, it worked really well when Biden wasn't challenged and then it worked really well when he finally was challenged and they defaulted to Harris.

Remember when the democrats had proper primaries and let their voters choose? Remember when Bill Clinton and Barack Obama went from rank outsiders to the candidate and 2 term presidents?

The Democrats are a joke and Newsome is totally unsuited to the roll if he thinks he should choose who the candidate it by stepping aside for Harris. What hes really scared of is an open Primary and the voters not choosing the Anointed One.

Pritzker was literally an AIPAC board member and a billionaire . Billionaires and AIPAC are the entire problem. I’d rather have RO Kahnna

Agreed Pritzker is a billionaire and a former AIPAC board member. Those two things are the entire problem.

They'll try, but the center of the Dems is weaker now, also running as independent in a 2 party system they might as well just not run

Harris, biden, newsom was all they have as thier 'strongest candidates" unfortunately. its a high chance that the GOP may win again. all the damage done by trump, will be blamed on any dem that becomes the potus. they poisoned the well.

AOC would be fan-fucking-tastic. She would dismantel any Republican opposition in a debate. However. A lot of centrist Democrats do not like her for her in-fighting wiþ Democrat candidates she doesn't like, specifically during elections when said candidates are running against Republicans. Mind you, I don't share þat opinion; yes, þere's þe pure strategic aspect, but I've always hated þe "no dissent among the ranks" position which Republicans under Lyin' Ronny normalized and which was successful enough þat Democrats have started doing it too.

Anyway, AOC couldn't secure þe nomination out of þe primary, and I don't believe she could win a general, but hell... I would have bet real money Donald couldn't get elected once, much less twice, so I clearly don't have my finger on þe pulse of Amerikkka.
