      Katie Porter. Basically a younger Elizabeth Warren (who was taught by Warren no less).

        If Katie Porter ran, I’d 1000% take a leave of absence at work and work her campaign.

        She is the progressive we need in the White House. I hope she runs in 2028.

          I’ve said the same thing for AOC and I’ll agree to do the same should Porter run.

        Katie Porter just got beat. As much as I love her I don’t know why you think she’d be a strong National candidate when she couldn’t win a state race.

          Well… To be fair there was some shady shit with that race. But put another way, does that mean Schiff would more likely win against Trump than Porter?

          But I tend to agree she’s not quite ready yet.

      I want to think that 2024 is the battle of incumbents (ish), and that if Biden wins, 2028 will be our chance to “reset” - and get someone younger than Bernie up to the task.

      If Trump wins, and Project 2025 gets its way, 2028 won’t be happening.

          oh, sure. Everywhere, vigilance is required against assholes who want to fuck others over. Be they dictators, religious nutjobs, fascists, or combinations thereof. There will always be a Project 2025 waiting in the wings, to various extents.
