    I’m still upset with Buttigieg for his pre-Super-Tuesday drop out. He joined the establishment to rally against Sanders. In doing so, he became part of what’s wrong with the party.

    While I don’t think poorly of him as a person per se, he is also just another politician.

    In contrast, I see folks like Sanders and AOC as real agents of change.

      0% considering how many Dems have been coordinating with Trump & Co to get his agenda passed. Even if Republicans ‘lose’ this time it’s all just a big scripted fantasy like Wrestlemania. We’ll still all lose either way as long as these two private organizations call all the shots.

      In my view, even voicing genuine doubt about the validity of elections undermines the very democratic institutions people claim to care about. It feeds into the same narrative that Trump and others have pushed, casting suspicion on the process and eroding public trust. Whether intentional or not, it ends up doing their work for them.

    🤣…Buttigieg…🤣. A Keynesian neo-liberal who as mayor, did nothing and the people there hate him. During the East Palestine Ohio train gas fiasco, it took him 7 days to even show up…and he did nothing for them. That was HIS job! Another neo-liberal failure. The democratic party needs a corporate/oligarch controlled candidate purge, STAT!

    Christ, it’s 2025. I should fucking hope that none of this fucking matters for the 2028 primary.

      It really doesn’t have any correlation to 2028. If anything it just shows the current mood of the electorate. Probably more informative if there were multiple surveys to compare movement against.

      Holy crap, zero percent?? There was some iffy “not enough black support” conversations going on during 2020 that were warped by just how much black support Biden was getting, but you really should be getting more than zero.

        I suspect that’s a sampling bias due to sample size. He probably has low support though. It’s kind of crazy, but if the republican party wasn’t insanely racist, and actually social/fiscal conservative, they would probably take a majority of the black vote. The black community supports gay rights, because they’re acutely aware of minority rights issues, not because they really accept bay people.

        Taken as an overall group anyway, obviously there’s a whole range of views among the community.

      My top four:

      1. AOC
      2. Sanders (he’s old af, otherwise he’d be first)
      3. Tie: Harris (love her but she needs to be a woman of the people, no more real estate conferences and more publicity)
      4. Tie: Buttigieg (best orator on the list, wish he was a bit more progressive)

      Please no newsom, or even walz. I like Walz but he did specifically say he wasn’t going to run for president during his vice presidential campaign.

    Buttigieg, those people are obsessed. I remember the announcement that Buttigieg had won the 2020 Iowa Caucuses, lol.

      I’d wait for him to be new York mayor for a bit before going for the presidency, however, you have to be American born to be eligible for presidency.

      wish it wasn’t so, but them the current rules.
