Beshear and Whitmer would be cool for a president/vp combo

If this is the dem primary in 2028, and I don’t think it will be, we’re probably fucked

AOC, Harris, and Newsom give dems the worst chances. The media has run slander campaigns on them for years now and they’re regarded as “coastal elites” by most of the inner country and swing voters. Among progressives Harris and Newsom are seen as corporste establishment (along with Shapiro) midwestern and southern candidates with a labor focused progressive campaign run using modern techniques (social media presence, orating, sound bite policies etc…) stand the best chances imo.

Maybe Walz or AOC. MAYBE. With a LOT of change.

Who do you think it will be and who do you think will be the best chance for Dems to win?

The dems need their OWN strong platform that can attract populist voters without being inauthentic and cringe like Kamala’s horrible campaign last year. People are sick of establishment politicians why the fuck was Kamala flexing a Dick Cheney endorsement?? That’s when I knew it was over.

I could see Whitmer and/or Beshear doing well under those circumstances. Walz could do well too but he has to work on his debate skills.
