In reply to the discussion: Kamala Harris tells BBC she may run for president again [View all]EuterpeThelo
(91 posts)(lifelong political junkies) called the winning 2020 ticket back in 2018.
Right now, my money would be on Pritzker...except for the fact that people inherently knee-jerk discriminate against anyone who is overweight, and anti-billionaire sentiment may get a lot worse by 2028.
Buttigieg would be amazing, but I fear too many closet bigots would tank his candidacy...he will, one day when we EVOLVE as a country, make a fantastic chief exec.
And I love Kamala fiercely, but agree that we (sadly) can't risk running anyone but a straight, white dude for 2028 (and that's coming from someone who supported her in the primary in 2019/2020). She was one of the most qualified people ever to run, but I remain really surprised that she didn't fight harder to ensure the accuracy of this last election. Too many math problems IMHO with the purported outcome - all seven swing states, and all just above the margin needed to trigger a recount? The fact that he IMPROVED his vote count in 90% of counties after EVERYTHING he has done???
For those who say it's a CT, sorry, but I'm watching the Rockland County lawsuit and the comments by both Eloon and the orange hellbeast in the run-up never sat right with me. He always cheats and he tells on himself, so I don't see why that should be any different with respect to the election.
Sadly, I don't even think FDR could be elected now due to his disability. "Central casting" appearance seems more important than substance anymore and we're all the worse off for it. I blame reality TV for a lot of our current ills.
My biggest fear is that Newsom (my governor, who I mostly love save those poor choices of giving extremists a platform on his podcast and his comments about trans folk) will win the primary but lose the general. There is JUST so much fear-mongering about "librul California elitists" and, unfortunately, many of those in the fly-over states (most of whom have never even set foot here) buy into the b.s. that our entire state has devolved into a sh!thole of homelessness, violence and "woke" (whatever that actually means).
