    He’s 83 years old, older than both Trump and Biden.

    I’d like to see AOC throw her hat in for 2028. She’ll be 39 then.

      I’d love to see this but her chances are likely worse than Harris. And that’s assuming we have an honest election in '28.

        Maybe, maybe not. Looking at the answers from her “AOC and Trump” voter cross-section, it seems like you just need to run someone who’s “genuine.” Both of them are seen as genuine or real (whether that’s true or not, it doesn’t matter).

        Populism can cut both ways and AOC might be just the ticket we need.

          That was my primary complaint about Harris, she had the same plastic, fake insincerity Clinton did.

          I mean, I voted for her ANYWAY because the alternative is just… 🤢🤮

        I’m starting to be of the mind that literally nothing matters in the presidential election except vibes/personality. Assuming there is an election and assuming people are sick of Trump by then I think she’d have a great shot.

          There will be a proper primary in '28 and Newsome will be the Democratiic Mitt Romney. No idea if he’ll win.

          My favorite joke on Romney, I think it was Letterman? “Sears Catalog underwear model, Mitt Romney.”

            Why does nobody seem to understand what fascism and, “dictator on day one” means?

            Your vote will never mean anything ever again.

              That would also require Trump to be competent and while he’s a great many things, that is one thing he will never be.

      As much as I love her, America will never elect a female president anytime soon. There are many men who believe the presidency is a man’s job.

        I don’t think that Harris’s problem was that she was a woman. Her problem, same as Mrs. Clinton, was everything else. And that is a long list for both of them. Being women probably didn’t help, but it also wasn’t their main chute.

      This thread is ridiculous. A woman or a jewish person cannot be elected President of the United States. How much more evidence do you need.

        They said the same thing about black people until a black man running as a progressive won the nomination. I think you’ve been learning the wrong lesson from all the elections since.

          I think you are underestimating how deeply misogynistic your country is.

            Please read my previous comment again because the response to this statement is exactly the same.

            Man, you’ll really say anything to avoid admitting that progressives win elections, won’t you?
