    It’s gonna be Newsom. And he’ll move to the right and lose. And centrists will blame the left and move to the right.

      No, Newsom has a chance to win, because he doesn’t have a vagina. Apparently having one is a disqualifying factor for many voters.

        Harris was beating the pants off of Trump when she was seen as a progressive. she lost because she went right.

        The trumpists were right though. She went to the right to emulate Clinton, tried to flip Texas and lost. Just like they called out.

    It’s cute that the Democrats think they’re going to be allowed to run in 2028 or that there will be an election at all

      I don’t think that’s how it will go down. He’s stupid and will just run the same play again, but with more stooges this time.

      There will be elections, and Democrats will absolutely be able to run. But if Trump (he’s already joked about running again) or his pick do not win, then Vance will not certify the election. Eventually that will land at the Supreme Court, and then it’s anyone’s guess as to whether or not they follow the constitution or just make up bullshit to support their agenda.

        You have far more hope than I do. Republicans are dogs chasing cars, they know what they want, they just don’t know what happens after. They want a permanent Christo-fascist government and we just handed them all the power to make it happen. People keep saying “there’s rules about this, there’s procedures, we have safeguards” as if that impeded him at all in his first term. The only hope I have is that they’re too stupid and incompetent to pull it off

    How about stopping, doing some self reflection for a bit and then start running again at an appropriate time? Whoever becomes the front runner is going to be dragged through the mud for the next four years on right wing media. One of the things that worked well for Kamala was that the republican strategy was focused on Biden and they didn’t pivot well…ultimately it didn’t matter, but don’t give them extra time now.
