    A foul-mouthed, shit-talking, no-bullshit pro union pro lgbtq pro healthcare ballbuster who’s sick of pussyfooting, eggshell walking, and capitulating could do wonders.

    Trump’s irreverance, but paired with competence, a heart, and basic, decent, sensible views.

      The DNC would never allow such a person to pass through their filters. In many ways, the Democrats themselves are as much an enemy of the people as the most extreme Republicans.

        Tim Walz gives me hope, if he runs for president in 2028. He’s too big of a name now for the DNC to keep him under wraps. He might not even want to, though.

          Tim Walz was very conservative for a DNC lawmaker. He was put on the ticket to balance out Kamala Harris’ Tax the Rich and Legalize Weed platform.

            He was conservative as a congressman due to the demands of his deeply conservative district. As governor, he has been very progressive.

              Even while running as VP he promised full undying support to Israel, almost explicitly saying they had the right to expand the war to Lebanon and Iran. Picking him was the Harris Campaign stepping on a goddamn landmine.

                Source? I recall him remaining largely ambiguous on Israel, at least during the campaign. I don’t know what he said before.

                    He said none of those things, only the tired old “Israel has a right to defend itself.” He also supported the Iran nuclear deal and has been generally supportive of the Democrat party dialing back support.

                    I’m sticking with ambiguous.

        If people actually voted in primaries then maybe we can actually choose somebody. The fact that you people still have these rigged primary conspiracies after successfully forcing an incumbent to step down is silly beyond belief.

        The sad truth is millions more people voted for Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders in the primary in 2016.
