It's cute that he thinks there will be an election in 2028, or ever again, for that matter.
He was the better half of the ticket.
I'm worried that despite having very good views himself that he is going to be tainted by the past. Not without reason too, because the consultants made him stand down with the "weird" insult and progressive messaging. Like most of these people, if it's not their authentic campaign, then whose is it? He's demonstrated, like most people who reach a moment in their career to seriously consider this, that he's too malleable for populist politics. It's possible that he completely sheds that team and runs his own, but who here really thinks that's going to happen? I'd believe it if we had AOC for VP. The pressure to succumb to inferior messaging is higher than it'll ever be during a presidential campaign, I don't really trust anyone to stay firm except AOC, Talib, and Bernie because they have demonstrated resistance in this sort of high pressure consultant environment.
Give me AOC or Bernie.
Bernie's going to be almost 90 years old by then
I like adding AOC to the ticket. But getting through primaries may pit them against each other; their bases, at least.
That's what the primaries are for. Selecting a candidate for your party to proceed with. The general election should set aside that division with the candidate having been chosen for the party already.
Yeah, what we need is ranked choice same day primaries. Unfortunately that's something that might land them the presidency so the democrats would never do it
Ranked Choice is a deeply flawed system.
Approval is far better, or if you like to be granular in your voting STAR.
Bernie should not run again. He's great but we need some young blood.
If he was less supportive of Israel and law enforcement I'd be more excited about this.
Honestly there isn't anyone left in the party that I'm happy with - even AOC started transitioning into radlib territory.
His stance on Israel vs Palestine is pretty agreeable. Palestine ≠ Hamas and Israel should be held accountable for the deaths of innocent Palestinians.
I'd vote for him but he'd need to ignore the consultants next time if he wants any hope of winning.
Can you please just fucking not
We need someone who is actually going to make some changes, not another return to a milque toast centre right 70 year old white dude
Except, before the DNC reeled him in with kamala's campaign, he regularly had excellent policy and progressive stances that would shake the middlest of middle right Dems. Things like free school lunches and gender affirming care and reproductive health care protections from the federal government. I would take him over Kamala any day to be quite honest.
He ran his campaign supporting genocide so he is not a progressive nor a moderate.
Personally, I'm hoping Zelensky will run for US president after strong Dien in Ukraine. You might be thinking that someone from another country can't be president. Well.... looks at current situation in White House At least this one would be elected.
I think we need to go with the Zelensky model (comedian-turned-politician) rather than Zelensky proper. My money's on Jon Stewart and/or Bill Burr.
Burr would be a good choice. I hate to lean hard into identity politics here, but a blue collar aesthetic cishet white guy seems to have a better chance of winning so long as he's progressive.
Dems have been thinking of it backwards. The center wants vibes, the left wants policies.
Hopefully this time they don't muzzle him. Tim's a great example of dem policies working,
I guess I’m the only one against this idea. I’m not keen on candidates that have already lost running again. Get someone else up there to try.
I'm nervous to hear this already. I want him to be pushed into it, not to want it so much.
Would have wanted him as president nominee either way, hope he gets it. The name Tim Walz is a name that needs to go down in history with the title "saviour of the US" or smth like that
