So what potential Democratic candidates are running in 2028?

[Spliff]

As it stands now? Probably Newsome.

LA is hosting Olympics in 2028, which likely means a lot of the bullshyt will be cleaned up in Cali. Think what San Fran did for the Chinese president except 10x. They got a new DA. Passed a bill to be tougher on crime. Likely more changes down the line to make the place look good on the world stage.

Why it matters? The positive changes will be recent enough in 2028 to run off of and bury the criticism Cali has been knee deep in for years.

He's also "in the club" so DNC will roll out the red carpet for him.

A cali dem just got boatraced. What would change?

Dems are Garnett on the Nets now.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is another name to watch. Billionaire that isn't afraid at taking shots.

Leave my governor alone but I think he will try and run in 2028 I was going to say his name

 

[NormanConnors]

Big Gretch

Cacs don't care. They just want someone who looks like them and is fairly charismatic and entertaining.

They better pick someone from the Midwest or South. Preferably someone that isn't a politician.

Hakeem Jeffries like it should have been this time. You want young people and minorites to come out in droves... Get a smooth talking black man out there. Not a fat country gump like the Republicans normally trot out. A smooth ass nikka to talk that shyt like no white man ever could

Cacs don't care. They just want someone who looks like them and is fairly charismatic and entertaining.

Obama would like to argue with that

America wants a man to lead.. There's a reason black men could vote before white women... As long as you're a man, you got a shot. The charisma and entertainment is the whole key... But being a man is the standard. Not too many men trust a woman to lead them

 

[Big Boss]

Jay z or Beyonce

i'm voting for Josh Shapiro in the primary. he's the best choice; the popular moderate governor of the most important state. easy decision. Shapiro with a female VP like Gretchen Whitmer who appeals to white women, or a Latino/Latina, should beat whatever weird clown the Republicans run in 2028 like JD Vance

i'll never vote for a woman in a primary again. this fukking POS trump REALLY got both of his wins against women it's unfair, the country is sexist, but i'm not going to vote to lose. never again.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

The Democrats don't need to worry about the presidency right now. They need to clean house. Everyone in charge needs to go, including senior leadership. Then they need to start worrying about winning state elections and building....

Why am I even bothering with this.. They won't do shyt.

You'll need someone who can actually counter republican talking points with some authority and mockery.

Newsom is great for that. But don't know how he'd play in certain states.

With authority is a key word. Democrats stood back and let Republicans tell them what subjects are important and the rules of engagement. That has to end and it’s gonna take a strong democrat to forcefully take the message to the people. Basically younger Bernie that’s willing to get dirty

 

[NoMorePie]

AOC

her lil fine ass

My governor too, but he's clearly been positioning for a national run.

 

[Drake's Tan]

Dems gonna have to get some Ws under their belt before they try to make history again. If we experience a financial crisis or major war under Trump the pendulum will swing back to the Dems as long as it's a straight white christian male.

Depends how bad things get under Trump.

Like Bush's second term in 07-08, national morale was so bad that Americans decided to roll with a Black man as president.
