No hope man.

Newsome is a slime ball and AOC is a woman, which is unacceptable to portions of the US. I don't see either of them winning it unless the Republican candidate is a complete disaster

i'd vote for AOC, and i kind of want to see the conniption fit that her running would throw half the country into. but i really doubt she'd win.

Please let it be none of them. The only one that has a decent chance with the general population is a slimeball that I can see being easily controlled by lobbyists.

Newsom is a POS

AOC is pretty good but would not win because of sexist democrats and republicans.

I worry this country still isn't ready for a brown woman. Would love to be proven wrong, however President John Dickface Vance isn't worth the risk, imo.

Unfortunately, America is more comfortable voting for a white man over a woman of color.

Fuck Newsom, I don't particularly like Buttigieg but he's a just SUCH a better choice than Newsom.

AOC of those 3 is the clear best.

Of coures all that said? America is quite possibly still too bigoted to vote for AOC or Buttigieg.

Hes the definition of an establishment politician

AOC is gonna go the way of Bernie. Shes a socialist, a woman, and a POC. She has zero chance of winning. She also wont have the powerful donors on her side .

Now this argument I disagree with. I'm not convinced that the socialism boogieman or the rich hating her are serious problems.

Her being a woman and a person of colour though are things that work against her.

I think an establishment politician can be ok as long as they have authentic values.

Right now the Democratic base yearns hardest for real fighters and Newsom was giving us that for awhile. He wasn't afraid of Trump, he'd go to right-wing spaces and talk shit about them/Trump, he challenged DeSantis to a debate, however then he did that shitty thing Dem politicians do where they sacrifice their base in the hopes of pulling in moderates, Independents, and Republican lites by running to the center. Had on the likes of Steve Bannon when nobody wanted him there, helped some of the worst right-wing trash boost their BS narratives through his podcast, started attacking trans people, etc. And then he tries to win us back by taking the fight to Trump once again.

Running to the middle helped out Bill Clinton in the 90s and Democratic strategists have been overly relying on it since.

That's why Mamdani had the upset victory that he had, he's just authentically true to himself and people see that.

Not that I'm calling Mamdani establishment, just that being progressive or presenting yourself as such is not always enough to guarantee better results than establishment politicians, as Cinema and Fetterman have shown us. There are some establishment Dems far more authentic and true to the party's goals than them so it really just depends on the person.

He does have the fighting spirit the Democratic base desperately craves, it just needs to come from a better and more authentic vessel.

The most important thing is they need to be charismatic. Obama is the most charismatic politician of the 21st century and he easily overcame the prevailing notion of the time that a black man won't ever be president.

Republican nominee will likely be Vance or, somehow, Trump.

But if it's Trump then things are so rigged and fucked that it's probably impossible for a Democrat to win.

Back when Biden was running some "hypothetical generic unknown Republican" was polling higher than both Trump and Biden, which was like, America just won't fucking learn its lesson. It's not just Trump, it's that entire party's ideology. No matter how many times they demonstrate they'll kill the middle class and the poor, still they're thought of in any positive light and that's an indictment against the American general electorate because we've had decades of the same repeating bullshit where Republicans wreck the economy, Democrats are elected to fix it, after 4-8 years Republicans are put back into power to wreck the economy again. This shit goes back to like the 70s and society still gives these Christo-fascists mega wealthy simps the benefit of the doubt.

Whenever these kind of topics come up, I remember the 2008 election. Obama honestly came out of nowhere and wasn't in the national spotlight until much closer to the election than we are to the 2028 election.

For what it is worth, no Dems really stand out at the moment. A primary will decide it before the election if we still have elections in 2028.
