Your Republicans and most Democrats are two sides of the same medal

They're both funded by the same ~~people~~ corporations, so many of their goals are the same.

So they're already trying to throw the 2028 election. For fuck's sake

Of course. People should already organise around an alternative.

AOC/Walz or Walz/AOC. They would make a killer team.

Putting a woman at the top of the ticket again would definitely be a way to show them, "hey we are willing to walk into the same trap as many times as it takes to prove our point about equality."

Not enough women think a woman should be president to make the idea viable, and that's not my fault.

Andy Beshear is pretty centrist which is why he can get elected in Kentucky. And I know the opinion of centrists around here, they're conservatives. He might be able to win a general election, but can he win a Democratic primary? Well if he's the Golden boy, the party will shoo him in just like they did Hillary, even if there are other candidates that maybe could be more popular. Nothing like democracy in action in the Democratic party!
