But I hate to inform you that the DNC didn’t spend $millions on consultants to learn “how to listen to men” to turn around and nominate a woman again in 2028.

The good news is, by 2036 that calcified, entrenched system should be gone, clearing the path for Senator Ocasio-Cortez to win the Nomination.

Do you pledge to vote for a woman in the 2028 primary? If so, who?

I’m not that excited about anyone else mentioned in the current polling (AOC isn’t going to run)

Of those not mentioned in the polls, Chris Murphy has piqued my interest.

How about you?

She sees the writing on the wall.

Whitmer did what she had to do for the people of her state.

She doesn’t need your forgiveness, she has delivered for her state time and time again, with the thinnest of legislative majorities.

She governed fearlessly and unhesitatingly, an example other Dems could learn from.

I will ponder those made by Stacey Abrams... She speaks w/ power...

hey! i SAID (nt) so why are you down here???

And our party has LOTS of great women possible candidates!

titanium. steel.

be as tough as nails and strike like a wasp. speak truth…don’t mollycoddle.

be like that mom that can make you cry without even touching you when she catches you doing something, but then can hug you to let you know she cares.

it took merely 6 years for another GOP president.

So I don't even know what we're talking about.

Go Alpha. Trump is rife for attacks on is lack of masculinity and the way alpha male society went full cuck for him is hilarious. Go for it. What do you have to lose?

He will come on the heels of a failed, probably insane already, Pres. The country will have been run into the ground economically. No way do the pukes get another shot at the Presidency for a long time.

first win, after GWB lied the country into Iraq and had the biggest finacial collapse since the Great Depression our countrymen and woman saw fit to give the GOP the biggest midterm blowout win in modern history because the dems tried to start to fix our Healthcare system.

A repeated pattern where Rs leave the country a hot mess and stir up some kind of bullshit the country guzzles down like an oreo milkshake to take power yet again.

in office as POTUS again.

Word is Tucker or Trump Jr. have a good shot.

I'm afraid online bro culture will be alive and well come 2028. But it should be lampoonee for being everything they hate. Their the biggest cucks ever and JD has been Trumps cuck for 4 year...

Gabby Giffords would be First Lady, and we know what her work would probably center around. We have so many good candidates, by the time they get going it will probably take some time to get down to the best few.

Put it this way, the "Year 2000" version of Al Gore was fairly dripping with charisma in comparison to Mark Kelly.

Kelly is an amazing man and I'm WAY happy he's my senator. But friends, he is a *boring* orator. He's Cabinet material though to be sure, I'd love to see him there, but he will never win POTUS. It's an absolute shame, too, because I think he'd BE great at it.

He's my Senator too and I'm very grateful he is. He and Gallego make a good team. The incompetent Hegseth's continuing 1st amendment attacks for telling the truth are only serving to raise Senator Kelly's profile.

I know them both, though, and my personal favorable impression is in no way an indication of how either of them would go down in a media-oriented campaign where 80% of the media is right-wing owned, and will try to portray all Democratic candidates in a negative light (remember Howard Dean). I don’t see Rachel Maddow asking me onto her show for me to tell the country my views on the subject 😛.

Governor of New Mexico.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Lujan_Grisham

She’s been extremely active!!!!

She’s been one of the most vocal Dems pushing for release of Epstein files. In fact, she is known as one of the most active of all Congress in asking for transparency of the files.

She has viewed the files calling them “very dark” and has met and had meetings with survivors.

On top of that - she is anti-war. She promoted and voted for War Resolutions Act to stop action in Iran.
Co-sponsored Block the Bombs Act.

AND - she’s working with youth, She’s very active on social media and X pulling in the younger Dems to go to Dem summer school for high school & college kids.

(From X) - “Excited to announce that I will be joining @Jamie_Raskin and @NatlDemSummer as an official Democracy Summer partner to help educate and train a new generation of political activists and leaders! College and high school students, apply here: democracy-“summer.breezy.hr/p/c5d6840c7d04

She’s my NM Rep, she is an extremely active Rep -,right now she’s on the road traveling around NM meeting with constituents, she articulate and happens to be pretty too!…

In particular, Attorney General Kamala Harris

This is not an election to take another chance on a woman as our candidate. Really makes me sad to feel that way but I think AZJonnie is correct that two males would be prudent. I’m thinking Pritzker and Beshear might be a good ticket. And fill every possible position in the administration with strong smart women.

but no women. VP, cabinet position, supreme court justice - that's what we've managed to do. There will be a female president at some point, I'm just not convinced at this point that it will be in my lifetime.

Cabinet positions have real power, and they get things done.

I am NOT giving in to misogyny, but "hearts and minds" change rarely and slowly in most cases.

Ibran X. Kendi's conclusion hit me pretty hard. In essence, Al Davis' JUST WIN, BABY.

Speaking strategically, I would love to see candidate/President Rafael Warnock blow up the entire hypocritical, and in my mind, heretical "CINO" Nationalism movement. As heir to Dr. Martin Luther King's podium at First Street Baptist Church, I am sure that without being religious in his work, by his example, stuff their gospel of hate up their sorry asses.

But whatever works is fine. I see Putin and Netanyahu simultaneously losing their positions (and more) for the hell they have brought upon the planet.

Mexico outsmarted us. What dumbshit fools in the U.S. to live hate, projection and overall cult mentality.

The wool keeps being pulled over their eyes.




THANK YOU, SIR. MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?

What were they expecting? pleasure?

St. LOUIS MO:

My personal note ... lots of good people out there, it'll be hard to choose but it's time to start looking at good candidates now, besides reading about the loser in the WH today, I do get tired of reading about his crap of the day.

How Cara Spencer won the mayor’s race—and what comes next...
...
On Tuesday, Cara Spencer was elected mayor of the city of St. Louis in an avalanche, winning nearly two-thirds of the vote. Spencer’s victory was expected, but the margin surprised many and means she’ll assume office as mayor on Tuesday with a clear mandate.
...
What comes first for Spencer?

Spencer is known for preferring to handle things herself—whether it’s managing her own media relations or installing her own stop sign. A booster will tell you she’s not afraid to be in the trenches. A detractor will tell you she micromanages. One close observer of city politics cautions, “City government is too big to micromanage. The staff that Cara surrounds herself with will be absolutely key. Priority number one must be to put staff in place that she can trust will do a good job, then let them…”

Or someone like them

Klobuchar has a longer legislative record, and her depth and breadth of experience is valuable. IMO she is excellent in public interviews. She gives well-informed and well formed answers to interviewers’ questions. I read her book Anitrust. It is a bit redundant, but explains the issue clearly.

Spanberger is also well spoken. Answers questions clearly, and concisely. Worked at CIA, which may help facing the disaster emerging under Trump.

I supported and voted for Harris, but I don’t think she is a good extemporaneous speaker, and we need someone who is.

I suspect that Klobuchar was Biden´s personal choice in 2020, but that he was talked out of it.

I don't know that much about her, but she's LGBT Native American and literally spent 10 years professionally punching people in the face (former MMA/UFC/whatever competitor).

I don't believe in violence, but I'm pretty sure any debate against Dipshit Donnie, Vance or whatever vile bag of shit the R(eally likes pedophiles) party puts up will spend the entire time scared to death that she's going to beat the lies out of him (duh).

That may not sit well with several here..........

Love her.

Why risk losing again by nominating a woman again?

In fact there's only one demographic that has won 100% of the presidential races they've run. Of course a lot of people were sure a black guy with a funny name couldn't win either.

Jill Stein is the 21st century's Nader.

Mazie Hirono

She has been battling cancer for several years, now. I don’t think she wants to add a national campaign to her other activities.

Don’t get me wrong, historically, the candidate being female always wins my first tie-breaker.

But we ain’t there yet.

so I won't post it.

nt.

regardless of gender, color and age (especially age-- this year's overly-weighted absurdity). The season is early and every day brings a new reason for me to support someone (as well as a new meritless excuse for their criticism).

Be attractive and charismatic.

county dog-catcher, regardless of sex or sexual preference or whatever---
funny you should ask that question at this moment!---

"ALL DEMOCRATS SHOULD RUN on 'STOP THE WARS', 'REPEAL THE BBB', 'CANCEL THE TARIFFS' and 'IMPEACH TRUMP' !"

If a WOMAN Democratic presidential candidate has the political courage to adopt those positions
before any male candidate, then SO BE IT! I will be WITH HER!!!!

Check her out on X. She’s hot to impeach Trump, anti war in Iran, and no buster bombs for Israel.

Plus active with youth groups.

but from your description of her--- this could be love!

I could easily see Amy Klobuchar or Elissa Slotkin as VP nominee.

I see both POTUS and VP as wide open for now. Plenty of qualified candidates, some with minor drawbacks, but nothing insurmountable. So far, I see no one with Obama’s charisma or Hillary’s phalanx of qualifications, but that isn’t necessary to win. Just look at Bush II or Trump. As in 2008, logic would dictate that securing the Democratic nomination should be enough to secure the presidency. But history never follows exactly the path that logic would dictate, or else there never would have been a Trump administration—or even a Cheney/Bush administration, for that matter.
