    2028 predictions:

    • kelly (everyone on Hexbear is a lib and votes for him just because his name is Kelly)
    • pete-eat (5% primary vote, wins nomination, campaign is “Make America Gay Again” but even less actual policies than Kamala 2024)
    • AyyyyyOC-big (20% primary vote, but even AOCIA is too ‘left’ for Dems and disqualified on a technicality for not being at least 75 years old, even though other candidates aren’t either)
    • top-cop (0% primary vote, endorses Trump)
    • nazi-punching (70% primary vote, miscellaneous unironic pro-genocide candidates combined)
    • fedposting (5% primary vote, pretends to be pro-Palestine but obvious even to Americans that they’re a fed)

        (Yeah, this list is essentially just the people from the article that I could come up with emoji for…)

        This was the actual list from the article:

        The standouts

        • California Gov. Gavin Newsom
        • Josh Shapiro

        The middle of the park

        • Kamala Harris
        • Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Arizona)
        • Pete Buttigieg
        • JB Pritzker
        • Wes Moore
        • Andy Beshear
        • Rahm Emanuel

        The dark horses

        • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)
        • Gretchen Whitmer
        • Ro Khanna (D-CA)
        • Any number of U.S. senators: The Democratic field is so wide open that it’s hard to count out anyone at this point.
          • Sen. Cory Booker, of New Jersey, ran for president during the 2020 cycle; questions about whether he might run again intensified after he broke the record for longest floor speech in the Senate in modern history last spring.
          • Like Kelly, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan, took part in the video on refusing illegal orders. She said she’s received 1,000 threats for her role in the video, but that she refuses to back down from its message: “The intimidation is the point, and I’m not going to go along with that.”
          • Sen. Chris Murphy, of Connecticut, has been a prominent Democratic voice on foreign policy for many years. He also regularly says Trump is trying to steal the midterms.
          • Sen. Chris Van Hollen, of Maryland, traveled to El Salvador to support illegally deported Kilmar Abrego García, who lives in Maryland.
        • Stephen A. Smith or another celebrity: The ESPN commentator is no fan of Trump, but he said he’s considering running for president, pitching himself as a centrist. He recently told CBS he’s “giving strong consideration to being on that debate stage for 2027,” and that he plans to make a decision on running this year.
        • Democrats I’ve talked to say to leave room for surprise candidates. “There may be someone running we’ve never thought of,” a senior national Democratic strategist said.

    Save me the trouble of reading an article that won’t answer my question: Are any of them paying lip service to ending the genocide their party started, paying reparations to Palestine, and holding Nuremberg trials for everyone – DemoKKrats, Republican$$, and iϟϟntrealis – involved in murdering so many people?

      I tried to check with the find tool if it was mentioned at all, but the article wouldn’t load for me so I was spared. I don’t know why I bothered trying, it’s WaPo they weren’t going to mention it even if a candidate gave a 2 hour speech on Palestinian liberation while dressed like Abu Obeida - other than maybe to mention “concerns about antisemitism”.

        I’ve provided the list for you here. If the list is comprised of current US politicians, I assume we have nobody even paying lip service yet, much less this.

    The DNC will push through a new candidate. One that has a clear bipartisan track record, having actually run in the past in both Democratic and Republican primaries. They’ll nominate someone who can finally reach the Republican voters they’ve been struggling to win over for decades.

    Say hello to your new 2028 Democratic presidential candidate…David Duke!

    Don’t forget to vote blue, no matter who!
