2028 frontrunner Pete Buttigieg's answer to a question on how Democrats should handle Israel has been described as "a beautiful example of sounding like you care about genocide while actually saying nothing at all."

Your choices are Buttigieg, Newsom, Shapiro, and maybe Kamala if she's done with her "me" time. Choose wisely.

So… we’re cooked?

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Exactly! People are delirious if they really believe for even one second that Darth Trump, the world's most successful Super-Criminal, who is basically the Antichrist, is ever going to allow real elections again... The old USA is over. This is Nazi-land now. No one is going to fix this.

Not that I'm a fan of the other three really but she would get cooked in that primary. I mean she'd be lucky to finish 4th.

It's what they're good at.

What happened to AOC “running”?

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I love AOC, but I don't think she has the sauce for a presidential run, at least not yet. Anyways, if we are ever going to start putting this era to bed, we need a bloodthirsty take-no-prisoners lefty liberal. That's not who she is.

Pritzker might fit the bill. Not that I personally like him better, but I think he might have the right instincts for this moment, even if I prefer AOC's vision better.

You legit are telling me you don’t think she pushes the bounds on both sides and fights for the rights of us (former middle class - it doesn’t exist anymore) now?! She’s one of the only politicians doing that with Bernie (of course), fighting against a dictator, influencers, and other corrupt politicians… she understands more than anyone else as she legit came up from the bottom! She’s what we NEED and what is necessary to change this garbage “government”.

You legit are telling me...

Um, no? None of that is what I said. I sincerely hope to see her as president some day, I just don't think she is equipped to move us into post-MAGA America. If anything, she is too good of a person for this moment. I want a straight up leftist psychopath that will do what should have been done after the civil war and punish the fuck out of the traitors so we aren't dealing with the aftermath of this bullshit for a hundred+ years.

Not voting for either of those options. Regardless

Don’t like it? Earn voters with policy.
