AOC's 2028 decision: Run for president or Senate

[2 Up 2 Down]

She looks better than Hilary and if she ran on shyt for the working class I think she'd have a better shot

I still think she'd lose tho

Kamala and Hilary's problem was that they represent the middle of the run moderates and that wasn't what people wanted.

Y'all gotta stop with the President shyt

I'd trust a bartender over the former host of "The Apprentice" tbh

If she runs for president then truly the democrats are an unserious organization and don’t give two shyts about the people.

I’m not saying she wouldn’t do a good job, I’m saying she can’t win.

Pritzker will run and Pritzker will win the presidency. She does not stand a chance if she runs.

 

[Sir Richard Spirit]

Pritzker will run and Pritzker will run the presidency. She does not stand a chance if she runs.

Let’s hope so

Better than Clinton, Biden, harris, or Newsome

Dems better run a progressive or just get used to more republican presidenties. Cause it's getting harder to sell the lessor of two evils thing when the majority of people are struggling. Struggling less or "anyone but trump" ain't fixing the problems that have been here decades. But my faith in the democrats ain't high they'll make the right decision. All I cam do is my part in showing out for the primaries, but I got a bad feeling another L is on the way

Don’t think Trump will be alive to run. He already had a stroke and has HF. He probably be on dialysis soon.

I've mentioned a few times that the best thing for Dems this upcoming election is that fact that they can actually move on from this Trump saga and start fresh. As you pointed out, the anyone but Trump perspective failed 2/3 times, with him out of the picture in terms of running for president it should rejuvenate them when it comes to messaging and agenda.

So, to further elaborate on the bolded, yes, Trump winning was a sad affair; however, it's not all gloomy either. The bright side is that we know for a fact he'll be a nonfactor in terms of running for the presidency or being on the ballot anymore, his influence will be hanging around but it'll be a fresh of breath air knowing he's no longer opposite of the ballot, so the Dems will be facing a new character which could be a good thing or a bad thing for Democrats in '28.

This means that the Dems are going to have to run a much better campaign, not necessarily in regards to policies and such but rather attitude and mentality, one of the things that have led the Blue side into becoming stagnant in their approach is the fact many Democrats as well as their voters overestimated, underestimated, miscalculated, and overly reliant on running on the idea of “not being Trump” failing to understand that's a losing strategy and is not good enough to win.

The Dems are going to need a candidate that can “restore the feeling” that was present in '08 and, to some extent, in '12. Now, the nominee doesn't have to be Obama 2.0, but they need to have that ability to galvanize the people similarly. The truth is that Biden, Kamala, and Hillary all had too much baggage (some out of their control; gender, age, political scandal, etc) and “perception of character” issues that proved to be too much to overcome in the minds of voters.

The problem is that the Dems will no longer have Trump and his boogyman persona to campaign against which means they could be potentially facing a GOP candidate who is arguably better than Trump, in other words, they'll have their shyt together, no political or legal baggage holding them back, no perceptions of being a clown or a joke but rather someone who can legitimately win the votes of the people based on merit, basically a worthy adversary.

It's hard to say if the Democrats have a candidate that's good enough to restore the feelings of '08 and '12. I'm not convinced that Newsom, who people keep drooling over, can get it done, and Whitmer, unless she's a VP option, the Dems would be setting themselves up for another loss to run her as a #1 because America simply isn't ready nor interested in appointing a woman as the leader of the country.

I'd vote for AOC is a second, but the GOP would just run any random white guy and automatically win.

Senate is her ceiling. A white woman couldn't even get elected President running against a conman with no political experience, someone named Ocasio-Cortez ain't got a chance with the country in its current state.

Even the Republicans gonna need more than that. Going back to regular republican platform gonna piss the MAGA crowd off

And it might be to the point where we see another January 6 except bigger and bolder. I don't put nothing past these cacs and whoever is running things behind the scenes. Trump's ties to Russian interference looking less and less like conspiracy by the day. And if being openly fascist got the rethugs this far, why stop now?

The Jeb bush or Romney types just aint gonna cut it no more. Which is why them democrats need to provide an actual alternative instead of centrist bullshyt
