its march 4th. i say we stop voting for seniors over the retirement age.
he should. he was a great pick and far more left than america deserved. he and aoc would be great as a ticket.
Yeah, let's keep alive the existence of Walz's couple of misstatements, while ignoring the insane, senile nonsense that Trump spews on the hour. Fuck the media.
I think it’s important to work towards enabling more political parties between now and 2028. We need alternative voting systems like Alaska and Maine have, but in the other states as well. That is only really possibly through getting ballot initiatives passed in each state for something like STAR Voting, Ranked Robin Voting, Score Voting, or Ranked Choice Voting.
A different voting system enables us to move away from First Past the Post, which is what forces a two party system. By having this, there can be more smaller parties that more truly represent the values of each state that can work with the bigger parties. Plus, it opens up the door for the most liked candidates to not knock each other out over the least liked candidates when tallying the votes.
All that is needed in about half of the states is to get signatures to put ballot initiatives up for a vote. Through grassroots action we can make a meaningful difference, and get more politicians like Walz that actually care about us in office.
Please fucking God no. It's like they actually want Republicans to win.
When will the DNC pull their heads out of their asses? If they won’t put forth any serious candidates, why bother?
Oh, so we're cool with losing again? He's not going to swing any demographic group - it's gonna be the same result.
Loser says what?
Nobody associated with the Harris-Walz campaign should have anything the fuck to do with 2028 presidential campaigns. They should all be too embarrassed to ever show their faces again.
AOC should be the candidate. Nobody to the right of AOC should even fucking bother with the primary, even if that describes 95% of the Democratic Party.
Canadian here, I agree. Y’all need to scorched earth most of the DNC and have a true party for the people.
It's cute that he thinks there will be an election in 2028, or ever again, for that matter.
Ohh, there's probably be an election. Keeping up appearances and all that.
Don't think he'll be allowed to run tho.
He'll probably be allowed to run, but just enough of his votes would mysteriously disappear to swing the election.

And they wont even try to hide it because no one will stop them.
Bold of him to assume there will be elections in 2028.
He was the better half of the ticket.
while this is true, it would still be a total loss to run him
I'm worried that despite having very good views himself that he is going to be tainted by the past. Not without reason too, because the consultants made him stand down with the "weird" insult and progressive messaging. Like most of these people, if it's not their authentic campaign, then whose is it? He's demonstrated, like most people who reach a moment in their career to seriously consider this, that he's too malleable for populist politics. It's possible that he completely sheds that team and runs his own, but who here really thinks that's going to happen? I'd believe it if we had AOC for VP. The pressure to succumb to inferior messaging is higher than it'll ever be during a presidential campaign, I don't really trust anyone to stay firm except AOC, Talib, and Bernie because they have demonstrated resistance in this sort of high pressure consultant environment.
Give me AOC or Bernie.
Bernie is too old and he knows it. He's not gonna run. AOC has a pretty bad favorable to unfavorable ratio nationally. That's not automatically disqualifying; numbers aren't set in stone, and a lot could change between now and 2028, but she's not starting from the same place of broad appeal that Sanders did. As much as I love both of them, we need to look beyond the same two people for progressive candidates.
Bernie's going to be almost 90 years old by then

Governor Walz, we need you protecting Minnesota as you have been. While you possibly being president would be the boost of democracy this country needs, my opinion is that you hold the fort exactly where you are.
