Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

And the DNC will prop her up as their preferred candidate and play confused when they lose again
I’m skeptical that Harris is the front runner the DNC pushes, they might but I believe we could see a split over Harris, Walz, or Newsome as the front runner in 2028.
Someone like AOC could throw their hat in the ring, which could work but they would have to do hardball quite a lot to get any progressive legislation passed federally. The courts would be trying to check the EO power and be much more limiting than they are currently.
No, they'll probably push Hillary again.
I hate how accurate that sounds. I really hope not, otherwise the Democratic Party really will have learned nothing in over a decade.
I doubt the DNC wants her. The Biden folks were trying to scare people into backing him by threatening them with the possibility of a Kamala candidacy, since she was seen as such a trash candidate. Newsom is probably the preferred candidate; he makes a good show of fighting Trump, but doesn't do any crazy leftist stuff like treating homeless or trans people as human beings. That's what the DNC wants.
Newsome takes aipac money. He just passed a anti semeticisn bill.
His trump trolling is entertaining. But He should not be president.
I mean you already worked your darndest to throw one election to the Republicans, why shouldn't we expect you to do a second.
The "Centrist" is the least reliable voter in Democratic tent and we lose elections thinking these toxic POS are able to be relied on
Go full populist, go full progressive, you'll win. Cater to the Blu MAGA contingent again, you'll lose.
Actually I want a Mamdani-type candidate to run for president someone who isn’t afraid to really lie and make promises they know they’ll never be able to keep so they can get votes.
Not one should be concerned with what the spoiler class of the DNC wants
Or people can actually get to work building a vanguard party.
Are you?
I feel temporarily stymied at building that party, even beginning to build it in my area; but I haven't lost hope for it and am actively exploring avenues in that general direction.
