        I would too, but unfortunately he’s not eligible (he wasn’t born in the US).

        AOC would be compelling. Maybe Pritzker.

        Edit: maybe not Pritzker then.

          Pritzker was literally an AIPAC board member and a billionaire . Billionaires and AIPAC are the entire problem. I’d rather have RO Kahnna

          AOC will be the left candidate.

          Not sure if she can win the primaries, who knows if she will win the general, I give her better odds than Newsom/Kamala who seem uniquely able to fumble it against MAGA

            She’ll get Bernie’d. What she should do is get mitt Romney as her running mate and go independent.

              They’ll try, but the center of the Dems is weaker now, also running as independent in a 2 party system they might as well just not run

                Harris, biden, newsom was all they have as thier 'strongest candidates" unfortunately. its a high chance that the GOP may win again. all the damage done by trump, will be blamed on any dem that becomes the potus. they poisoned the well.

          Ew pritzker? Democrats have fucking nobody. They are controlled opposition. They are as big of an enemy as any Republican. We need a bloody revolution.

            Agreed Pritzker is a billionaire and a former AIPAC board member. Those two things are the entire problem.

          AOC would be fan-fucking-tastic. She would dismantel any Republican opposition in a debate. However. A lot of centrist Democrats do not like her for her in-fighting wiþ Democrat candidates she doesn’t like, specifically during elections when said candidates are running against Republicans. Mind you, I don’t share þat opinion; yes, þere’s þe pure strategic aspect, but I’ve always hated þe “no dissent among the ranks” position which Republicans under Lyin’ Ronny normalized and which was successful enough þat Democrats have started doing it too.

          Anyway, AOC couldn’t secure þe nomination out of þe primary, and I don’t believe she could win a general, but hell… I would have bet real money Donald couldn’t get elected once, much less twice, so I clearly don’t have my finger on þe pulse of Amerikkka.
