“ Joe Biden may have cost Democrats the White House in 2024. Their inability to admit it, some Democrats fear, could hobble them in 2028.
As a fresh reckoning in the party unfolds around the former president’s mental acuity, potential presidential contenders have mostly dodged questions about his condition while in office. They’ve also sidestepped whether the party should have more forcefully called on him to abandon his reelection bid earlier.“

Trump’s motto should be Deny, Deflect, Distract.
This Biden stuff is a distraction from Trump’s own mental decline.

Biden had terrible ratings that depressed me a little - Albaby even poked fun at my depressed state due to the dismal prospects. Waaayy before he crapped on the debate his ratings were low. The switch to Kamela brightened my view, but we already knew that we lost the Presidency and were just hoping for better results down ballot.
So this bit about inability to admit is hooey, I just don't know enough about the political party to know how they're reorganizing, but I like Newsom, Buttigiege, and AOC. Y'all will try and pump trans, illegals, but I think by 2028 the US will be sick of y'all. I'm not sure how 2026 wilkl work. Between Albaby and Commonone, we'll get an education.

The democrats have zero bench. Their base has zero clue what the electorate wants and it's why they keep up with the nonsensical positions that 80% or better of the country rejects. Hey, let's not deport criminals! Let's laud wife-beating, human trafficking members of terrorists instead!
Then you look at their politicians. Here's who they have:
Front runners:
AOC - her ego vastly outstrips her intelligence. As in, she's completely brain dead.
Cory Booker - hahahahaha
J.B. Pritzker - people can't flee Illinois fast enough
Hair Gel Newsom - See Pritzker. It'll be amusing to no end to see him disavow all his previous positions and the people on this board go along with it.
Big Gretch Whitmer - she'll get to answer why you couldn't by yard stuff at Home Depot during COVID
People they should run but won't:
Shapiro - they have a real problem with Da Joooos in that party
Beshear - no way they'll have somebody from a Bumpkin state like KY at the top of the ticket. Their coastal AWFLs won't go for it.
Then you've got other rando wannabes like Sideshow Bob Ferguson from WA (zero national profile) and Amy Klobuchar whose claim to fame is that the creators of Veep modeled Selena Meyer's character after her (not a good thing).
That political party is 100% trash and deserves to buried in the ash heap of history. After all of us hose it down with urine.

OMG I forgot about Buttigieg, who as Transpo secretary did an excellent job as the living model for the adjective "useless". It's a monument to democrat identity politics that the guy who did nothing about air traffic control, ports, collapsed bridges and Lord knows what else thinks he can become President.
And it's an even bigger indictment of the broader democrat party that he would be considered for anything higher than dogcatcher.

If Republicans screw with Medicare, Social Security ---- you or I could win the Presidency as democrat nominee.
Other than the he/him they/them Liberal 401K'ers trying to give it to MAGA again, it would be an easy Dem win,

This far out those have little meaning, and AOC would be a VP pick. I like her because she's a social democrat, or vice versa, can't remember. It's refreshing to have one in American politics.
I'm just hoping that Trump derails himself as expected. I give him about a 73. ;<-)

So, you want her on the ticket because she's running around the country claiming billionaires who support her are good rich people, billionaires who don't support her are dangerous Oligarch's. Good luck with that message.

She's never claimed that. The normal course of a democrat political campaign is too head for the center then after the convention pick up more of the outside left. For that purpose AOC is a natural and would make a good VP choice as she's very much liked by the outside left (for lack of a better term). It's way to early to make a prediction.

Those oligarchs who support lower taxes on the rich while gutting unions and programs for the poor and middle class.
Vs
Those oligarchs who recognize the truth of the adage “To those whom much has been given is much required”.
She is unabashedly on the side of the latter group.
