Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries are wildly ineffective to counter Trump. Who's on the CONGRESS Dem bench that can meet the moment? 2028 POTUS?

[DrPepper12]

My concern is that the bench is MOSTLY executives, not legislators we need in Congress

Potentials:

Gavin Newsom, Gov CA

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Pete Buttigieg

Kamala Harris

Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland

JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois

Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania

Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan

Andy Beshear, Governor of Kentucky

Adam Schiff

Ro Khana

Adam Kinziger

Liz Warren

Tim Walz, Gov NE

Wes Moore, Gov MD

Cory Booker

Jamie Raskin

Chris Murphy

Ted Lieu

Pretty much all politicians are useless in minority let alone in general.

Republicans or Democrats in Majority always triumph over Democrats or Republicans in Minority. And the greater the majority, the weaker the minority response.

When Democrats had the majority, suddenly their attention grabbing social media posts and platform seemed like they were doing something then all of a sudden the power is stripped away, the illusion is pulled which seems like they are truly doing nothing to meet the moment when in reality they could never meet the moment just like Republicans.

Only two politicians are putting in the work for 2028, Bernie Sanders and AOC.
They know once you remove the Right V. Left media corporation manufactured politicized culture wars and think tank echo chamber talking points and figureheads, you get to hear what people actually think.
If you watch all the Anti Oligarchy Tour uncut full multiple hour footage, you see we aren’t so much different.
We are all Americans and we all want what is best for our country. Whether Republican or Democrat or Independent we want to see America our home succeed and prosper.
Democrats sold out the working class and sold out those wanting affordable healthcare, better education system, sensible solutions to gun violence, etc. and they need to win their voters back for next time or else there is no future for them in elected office.

The strongest candidate (right now is Newsom). If he wins his motion in California, he'll be the democrat frontrunner for the nomination in 2028. If his motion fails, we'll be lucky to have 2028 election.

Ya think beardo has a good chance? 🤢

[Twalli]

@blackeagle007 I think MAGA will die without Trump.

[Amy10223]

I think Gavin Newsome and Cory Booker or Hakeem Jeffries, maybe Tim Walz , would be great together. I wouldn’t want Harris running again; the US has already shown it wasn’t ready for a half Black, half Indian woman as president. She would have saved us the headaches we’re having now with the authoritarian orange man, but America thought she was too weak.

[blackeagle007]

God no, Harris didn’t anything during election. I agree

[blackeagle007]

Offer

[Beckybooboo]

I would say Buttigieg and Shapiro. Mainly because they broke ranks with Harris and her administration, are more recognized and seem more mainstream.

[Staximus]

The last guy you want is that fat bozo Pritzker. He's a rich kid, and has been the governor of Illinois since 2019 and done approximately jack shit about Chicago being a fucking war zone the whole goddamned time. Illinois and especially Chicago politics have been notoriously corrupt, if not the most corrupt political arena in the United States for the last 100 years.

[Staximus]

There have been over 3,200 murders in the city of Chicago since 2019 when that fucking idiot became governor

[Staximus]

There's 2.7 million people in Chicago. There's 9.7 million people in Los Angeles county, and there have been more murders in Chicago since 2019. What the fuck is going on here

[DrPepper12]

I'm VERY SLOWLY warming to him as a hail Mary but you are right about fat cat

[DonaldDarko]

It's their ideology that is ineffective not the individual politicians. The left had it's day back in the 60s when everybody thought using drugs and dropping out was the way to go. It sort of reminds me of this with the left being the squiggle.

[blackeagle007]

I have a fair solution. An Independent in my state is running for governor. Why not have a different party run for the White House?

Awaiting the hatefilled maga responses.

Democrats are a bunch of clowns. And sad clowns at that. Ironically john Fetterman seems to be the sanest of the bunch and he has brain damage.

[DrPepper12]

Fetterman is a horrible disappointment

[exitseven]

Yes, but he seems pretty sane. The rest of the party seems to be intent on driving the clown car right off a cliff.

The basic premise is correct, but the list... you're kidding, right?

[DrPepper12]

I'm open to suggestions!

[chrissykerdock]

too bad it's schumer's call

[DrPepper12]

He's so not ready for this moment

[chrissykerdock]

he's still their leader not aoc

[Still-alive]

AOC, Jasmine Crocket, Chris Van Hollen

[DrPepper12]

I love Crockett. She slices n dices MAGA like a ginsu lnife

[seeyounexttuesday]

None. You clowns keep pushing your idiocy and murdering conservative voices. Your movement is bleeding people.

[BCRanger10]

Of these? None of them.

[FunkyMonkee]

No one.

[Snakeyes7]

They're all morons.
