Oh yes, please, older people, maybe I'll have my late great grandma run a campaign for the democrats from her grave.
Edit: not that I prefer a republican after trump. I'm certainly not far right. But I'm tired of seeing running leaders being this old. Can you americans get AOC to run for once?
No sooner than he mentions that he might run to the right wing attacks on his age begin.
I'd like someone younger too but let's take the candidates we can eh? Dude's compassionate and far left for a dam at the moment.
And I'm sure he'll choose a young running mate (AOC maybe? Though I'd hate to see her leave Congress for such a powerless position).
Age isnt always an indicator on how people are mentally, and if they are a backwards prick
Walz will be a perfectly normal age to run for president.
It's cute that they think there's gonna be another election.
If he was less supportive of Israel and law enforcement I'd be more excited about this.
Honestly there isn't anyone left in the party that I'm happy with - even AOC started transitioning into radlib territory.
Tim Walz unleashed would have won this.
He was hamstrug by Harris. He’s likely the dem’s best choice for 2028.
So of course they’ll run Newsome or Shapiro or Hillary Clinton again because they’re a bunch of idiots.
Running Hillary again
The fact that this is somewhat believable is so stupid
And Harris was hamstrung by Biden.
She could have been better.
She is a cop. She dropped out in 15th place in the 2020 primary before she was embarrassed in her home state of California. They should have never ran her and that's why they didn't do a primary.
Prosecutors are not cops.
I'm curious how you picture a society functioning without prosecutors. Please enlighten me.
Shit like this is why people don't take the "defund the police" movement seriously.
We know that female candidates with male VP's named Tim don't win against Republicans. Hillary and Kamala proved that. But this is wholly different, so its possible, concievable...
I'm feeling pretty certain the dems will run Buttigieg. Feels like they've been prepping him for a while.
Walz was great in 2024. He had enthusiasm and actually answered the interviewers' questions. I would have preferred the symbolic victory of a black woman president, but I like Walz better as an individual person. I think he could have won if he'd been the presidential candidate. Well, Harris won too, but I mean he could have won even with the voter suppression stealing all those democratic votes.
President Walz and Vice President Cortez is the future we need. But probably not the future we'll get.
Thinking there is going to be a real election in 2028 is the most optimistic thing I've heard in a while.
The Harris campaign had to cover the governor’s tracks when he tripped up during a California fundraiser by stating that the constitutionally-mandated system used to select the president, otherwise known as the electoral college, “needs to go”.
How the hell is that a gaffe? It's both the truth and exactly what people want to hear. Any lib who thinks like that needs to kindly keep their mouths shut for the next four years. This country needs radical change, the only choice you get is which one you want.
