Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota is leaving his position in House Democratic leadership over his party’s support of President Joe Biden’s 2024 reelection bid.
Nail on the head. I get the feeling that she’s still tracked for 2028, assuming we aren’t living in the neo-confederacy by then. I can’t fucking stand having to wait another 4+ years for a candidate that I can just be comfortable expressing support in. What would America or the world even be like if Al Gore didn’t have an election taken by the supreme court? Feels like a future they just can’t stop taking from us because some enlightened centrist is going to say “you can’t win without the middle.” Fuck the middle. It’s progress or fascism. They need to pick a side already so we can get to getting. If they need anymore time to decide than we don’t want them.
No clue, honestly. Most convenient would be a sudden and meteoric rise from a regional sensation to a national one, like Obama in 08 or Bernie in 16, but one can’t count on that, of course. I’ve got a ‘wait and see’ attitude as to the 2027-8 primaries, see who declares or seems interested in running before sifting through.
God, I hate that I’m thinking about primaries half a decade out from now.
Ah, I hear ya! Who would you like to see run that you think could effectively dodge that sort of poison pill status?
It wasn’t a factor when the party selected Clinton. It’s only a factor for AOC because she’s a progressive.
