The DNC will push through a new candidate. One that has a clear bipartisan track record, having actually run in the past in both Democratic and Republican primaries. They'll nominate someone who can finally reach the Republican voters they've been struggling to win over for decades.

Say hello to your new 2028 Democratic presidential candidate....David Duke!

Don't forget to vote blue, no matter who!

Save me the trouble of reading an article that won't answer my question: Are any of them paying lip service to ending the genocide their party started, paying reparations to Palestine, and holding Nuremberg trials for everyone – DemoKKrats, Republican$$, and iϟϟntrealis – involved in murdering so many people?

I tried to check with the find tool if it was mentioned at all, but the article wouldn't load for me so I was spared. I don't know why I bothered trying, it's WaPo they weren't going to mention it even if a candidate gave a 2 hour speech on Palestinian liberation while dressed like Abu Obeida - other than maybe to mention "concerns about antisemitism".

I've provided the list for you here. If the list is comprised of current US politicians, I assume we have nobody even paying lip service yet, much less this.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yeah, I was being very sarcastic. I knew without looking that there wouldn't be anything like that. Thanks for the list.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This early, all we really know is that they'll nominate whoever has the worst position on the most important issue

[–] miz@hexbear.net 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

but hotcouchguy, they're all zionists

[–] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They'll somehow find one that thinks one genocide isn't enough

We already had VP L3Harris

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 28 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

hopefully trump abolishes elections soon so I wouldn't have to hear about this shit

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 11 points 11 hours ago

Ideally he publicly executes whoever wrote this article

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Not that I’m particularly bullish on her potential candidacy, but putting Rahm Emanuel above AOC is laughable.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 14 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

his slogan will be "Dodge Rahm" and truck owners will vote for him out of confusion

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Funny cuz Dodge Rahm sounds like a call not to vote for him

[–] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 2 points 8 hours ago

This gets all the centrists the Democrats have been trying to find so desperately to vote for him and more, but the-republican still wins

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 12 points 11 hours ago

his slogan will be "Dodge Rahm" and truck owners will vote for him out of inebriation

FTFY

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 17 points 12 hours ago

I knew Newscum would be at the top but Shapiro too? Also it's hilarious that kamala-coconut-tree isn't in the thumbnail.

[–] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

2028 predictions:

  • kelly (everyone on Hexbear is a lib and votes for him just because his name is Kelly)
  • pete-eat (5% primary vote, wins nomination, campaign is "Make America Gay Again" but even less actual policies than Kamala 2024)
  • AyyyyyOC-big (20% primary vote, but even AOCIA is too 'left' for Dems and disqualified on a technicality for not being at least 75 years old, even though other candidates aren't either)
  • top-cop (0% primary vote, endorses Trump)
  • nazi-punching (70% primary vote, miscellaneous unironic pro-genocide candidates combined)
  • fedposting (5% primary vote, pretends to be pro-Palestine but obvious even to Americans that they're a fed)

Kelly says he’s seriously thinking about running for president

[–] ThermonuclearHoxha@hexbear.net 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

(Yeah, this list is essentially just the people from the article that I could come up with emoji for...)

This was the actual list from the article:

The standouts

  • California Gov. Gavin Newsom
  • Josh Shapiro

The middle of the park

  • Kamala Harris
  • Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona)
  • Pete Buttigieg
  • JB Pritzker
  • Wes Moore
  • Andy Beshear
  • Rahm Emanuel

The dark horses

  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
  • Gretchen Whitmer
  • Ro Khanna (D-CA)
  • Any number of U.S. senators: The Democratic field is so wide open that it’s hard to count out anyone at this point.
    • Sen. Cory Booker, of New Jersey, ran for president during the 2020 cycle; questions about whether he might run again intensified after he broke the record for longest floor speech in the Senate in modern history last spring.
    • Like Kelly, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan, took part in the video on refusing illegal orders. She said she’s received 1,000 threats for her role in the video, but that she refuses to back down from its message: “The intimidation is the point, and I’m not going to go along with that.”
    • Sen. Chris Murphy, of Connecticut, has been a prominent Democratic voice on foreign policy for many years. He also regularly says Trump is trying to steal the midterms.
    • Sen. Chris Van Hollen, of Maryland, traveled to El Salvador to support illegally deported Kilmar Abrego García, who lives in Maryland.
  • Stephen A. Smith or another celebrity: The ESPN commentator is no fan of Trump, but he said he’s considering running for president, pitching himself as a centrist. He recently told CBS he’s “giving strong consideration to being on that debate stage for 2027,” and that he plans to make a decision on running this year.
  • Democrats I’ve talked to say to leave room for surprise candidates. “There may be someone running we’ve never thought of,” a senior national Democratic strategist said.

not-hillary a new candidate approaches!

I see, well, I'm still loyal to our fellow liberal and queen Hillary Clinton, so I guess I'll just have to write her in.

JB Pritzker: The Illinois governor, like Newsom in California, has positioned himself as someone willing to fight Trump. His battles with the Trump administration over immigration actions and the president’s attempted National Guard deployment to Chicago raised his national profile. Pritzker is a billionaire from the family who owns Hyatt Hotels, and his wealth could prove to be a boon, allowing him to self-fund a campaign. (One of his biggest applause lines at the party’s 2024 convention was that voters should “take it from an actual billionaire” that Trump was rich in only one thing: “stupidity.”) He has argued for increased taxes on the rich, but his wealth could be a liability at a time in which some in the party are casting billionaires as a political foils.

I can’t really write anything funnier than what will inevitably pop into the brain of any hexbear user after reading this.

I mean I just think of epstein

Posting counts as "fighting"?

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Stephen A. Smith is listed, that would be an interesting presidency

[–] 0__0@hexbear.net 12 points 13 hours ago

That would be absolutely hilarious

[–] microfiche@hexbear.net 17 points 13 hours ago

Any number of U.S. senators:

Democrats falling all over themselves to just toss shit at a wall and see what sticks. The United States Democratic Party is an international joke.
