Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I'll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.
"Run for president in 2028" XD That ship has sailed. I don't think they will have any more elections.
It's cute that they think there's gonna be another election.
I'm feeling pretty certain the dems will run Buttigieg. Feels like they've been prepping him for a while.
A gay man? No way, they need to run a straight white cis man. It's fucking sad to say it, but for now...it has to be done. Too many racist, sexist and homophobic people out there.
They'll run Blinken.
How about someone good?
Like?
Tim Walz unleashed would have won this.
He was hamstrug by Harris. He’s likely the dem’s best choice for 2028.
So of course they’ll run Newsome or Shapiro or Hillary Clinton again because they’re a bunch of idiots.
The Democratic Party is finished, just like the GOP.
And Harris was hamstrung by Biden.
She could have been better.
She is a cop. She dropped out in 15th place in the 2020 primary before she was embarrassed in her home state of California. They should have never ran her and that's why they didn't do a primary.
They did do a primary and Biden/Harris won. They had opposition even if you were unaware of it.
Hey check out this hotshot over here with a long term memory! No, didn’t you hear she ran a perfect campaign they just couldn’t get enough celebrity endorsements…
Or she could have not played this game, that she willfully engaged in. Harris is the epitome of a career politician that rose through the ranks by doing what the party elites wanted her to do.
Once she was announced candidate, she had all the options to go for her own platform and grow a spine, if she has one. Also that is a quality that is crucial in a president, who wants to lead the supposedly most powerful country on earth.
And this shows, what the DNC wants. They dont want a strong leader. They want a puppet they can control. This is also why they were more than happy to have Biden go for another 4 years, not despite, but because of his declining mental state making him a great puppet.
Walz was great in 2024. He had enthusiasm and actually answered the interviewers' questions. I would have preferred the symbolic victory of a black woman president, but I like Walz better as an individual person. I think he could have won if he'd been the presidential candidate. Well, Harris won too, but I mean he could have won even with the voter suppression stealing all those democratic votes.
President Walz and Vice President Cortez is the future we need. But probably not the future we'll get.
What exactly were his policy positions? What was important to him? Back in my day candidates spoke about those. Now he just runs with his big goofy smile and talks about being a coach.
