Probably Michelle.
Who do you want the Democrats to run in '24?
- Thread starter the cac mamba
- Start date
Shes more to the center than the rest of the squad and could pivot a little as necessary.
Perhaps you're right though
No one in the squad or affiliated with squad will ever have a chance of winning any national election. Ever. They are capped at local elections to the House of Representatives. No one associated or affiliated with the squad will ever win a U.S. senate seat.
Just because we don't like Biden doesn't mean we want Trump. This dichotomous way of thinking does no one any favors and if anything is part of the reason why we are in the situation we are now. The simple fact of the matter is, Biden and company are in an unenviable situation where, despite some of the good they have done, the shytty stuff, even the stuff that may not be their fault, is hanging over them. While they have been inept in dealing with those issues, they have been even worse at dealing with the fallout of those issues and somehow, and even worse at dealing with the publicity side of things in regards to all of that. I don't want Trump or what ever b*stard child of Trump the GOP roles out but we have to recognize that Biden needs to do something to make people enthusiastic about him. I actually think he can salvage things but it will take a hell of a lot more to fix things than it would have before.
That said, the fearmongering never seems to end and is pretty annoying. When does it stop? One day it is worrying that Trump might come back to fukk everyone in the ass, next day it's Trump 2.0 with 10 dikks covered in pepper is going to fukk everyone in the ass and their mouths. I understand he's a threat but damn it's kind of ridiculous man. Lock up his whole crew if you have to. There's enough evidence to do so. You can't tell me there isn't.
In any case, I hope Trump bites the dust. I'm tired of thinking about him and would rather worry about Florida's version of Tom DeLay, Ron-boy Desantis. He's such an idiot I trust him to fukk things up at the national level.
OK. Thats fine. Just say who you want to win.
If your guy loses the PRIMARY, i dont want to hear any bytching during the GENERAL.
Pressley could win the MA seat if Warrem retires and endorses her, which I would imagine she would do
I'll bytch to my heart's content. That seems to be all you ever do so I'm surprised you're not more appreciative.
That said, as many people have illustrated, it is far easier to point out who would be a bad choice than a good one because the field is not that great and this is the problem. The dems should be making a stronger effort to elevate certain members of their party in hopes of having them run later on. Make them familiar to the populace at large. This is one thing the republicans in the past did well prior to Trump. You knew who Rand Paul was, even if he is a twat. You knew who Rubio was, you knew who Jeb was. This is one of their greatest weaknesses which is befuddling given their supposed media savvy. And yes, I know, what about all the dems we are talking about. We know of them but not truly about them or how it defines them (it should to some extent). This is why I often give Warren credit, since she made it clear who she was and what she stood for the longest time but got wrecked by Trump's branding (this is a strong weapon the dems need to learn and did to some extent last election). In any case, Sherrod Brown seems inoffensive and the middle of the road candidate that may work. Castro as well. I like Booker but think he has too many weaknesses that can be used. Deval Patrick was decent in the past but doubt he'd be useful now. Biden would be good if he does salvages his presidency in the eyes of those that are unhappy with him but I don't see him doing that. I've already pointed out that Presley would do better than Harris, then again, I think the gender divide/black incel issue will have political ramifications so either one would be an issue. I liked Klobuchar personally as well.

Sherrod Brown might have to be PUSHED because he keeps avoiding it.
We have to understand the political reality of white voters. Thats an insurmountable obstacle. Thats how Obama wins and Jesse Jackson doesn't come close.
Eric Adams is probably the only person who would become the next black president.
Godless Socialist CEO
Superstar
Lots of garbage names being thrown around in here that ain’t winning shyt. Just more corporate dem gutter trash. Warren is acceptable but the rest of these names
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted
If Biden can get shyt turned around, gas prices go down and war in Ukraine gets resolved with his influence, covid is just a memory, he can get reelected. Trump is waiting until the last minute and if he runs, Joe might be the only one who can beat him.

This makes less than zero sense.
So you want republicans back in power.. because the dems dont know how to fight.
Am I getting that right?
And how we feel about Gavin Newsome? Why couldn't we throw Cali dream boy out there?
Nah, Biden is done at this point. Manchin and Sinema ended his chapter. The best thing he can do for the party is not run again, he was there to beat Trump and that's it.
Just have him step out of the way and let some younger more popular Democrat without his baggage run in 2024.
that is not at all what i was saying. the post i was responding to was talking about how biden's presidency has been ruined by manchema so he's a liability who shouldn't run again. if manchema ruining things is a reason he should be tossed in the bushes then how does his replacement not have their presidency ruined by manchema as well? it's wash, rinse, repeat. you're basically arguing for no democrats or one of manchema themselves being president as fake democrats.This makes less than zero sense.

edit: and FWIW, i would rather any democratic president accomplishing 20% of what they want vs a republican president accomplishing even 5% of what they want.
Let me help you answer this another way. No one in the squad will win in the south. Even with all the black voters. They’d be crushed by white and Hispanic independentsI'll bytch to my heart's content. That seems to be all you ever do so I'm surprised you're not more appreciative.
