He needs to hit the rally circuit with Bernie and AOC.
Get ready for that next run. AOC top of ticket, Walz for vice.
Mainstream media asshats:
I can get behind this.
I’m sorry don’t run another woman. America well not vote one in. Both times Trump win was against women.
I don’t want Waltz anywhere near the presidency.
I would definitely vote for AOC any day of the week though.
Well I want a team that can win. Other people do like Walz; Harris’ popularity spiked with that announcement. The campaign then hid him under a rock because he scared donors.
Even though AOC is one of the rare American politicians that I like, it’s probably not the best idea to make her the presidential candidate. Simply due to the fact that she’s a woman. The last few dem losses make it clear that America is still very sexist.
I’m in some circles that would never support her because she sat down with Hasan Piker. I would absolutely support her, but she’s pretty polarizing. Same was said of Bernie despite him having one of the most successful grassroots attempts in history. Blows my mind that because they’re populists they’re immediately discounted by some, even though the positions they support are the ones we desperately need.
Forgive my rant, but just because Trump is a populist with us vs them rhetoric does not make them equal by any fucking stretch of the imagination, and it drives me insane that the friends I’m thinking of are so blinded by the label.

Democrats really are willing to shut out all women as soon as a progressive woman is suggested.
Is it because they were women? Are you sure it wasn’t because they were borderline Republicans? Both Clinton and Harris are two of the most conservative democratic candidates to run in the last 30 years.
Well keep running women and keep coming up with excuses in why they loose besides admiring America is sexist.
I unfortunately believe it may play some role too for some voters. There are Americans who still embrace their cultures, where there is an emphasis more on men being in charge. Think of some middle eastern cultures for example. And of course, there’s the sexists.
Sad reality also is there is a lot of racism still within our country…
Could not possibly be any other reason, it must’ve been because they were women.
There may be other reasons, but US has never had a woman president. Ever. I don’t think this is the time to risk it again. Maybe if the dems win once and do well, they can try pushing for AOC next.
The mental disconnect American liberals have with reality is staggering. Clinton and Harris did not lose the elections to Trump because they were women. They lost because they were unlikeable corporatist democrats that enabled genocide and supported the American oligarchy over the American people, and that was obvious to everyone with a brain.
Yet Republicans win really doing all of that.
I’ve heard Republicans talk in the wild… You really, really underestimate how misogynistic people are. We’re close but right now we need certainty. I think a woman VP is the best bet, and I would HATE To relegate aoc to the nothing that is VP. Give it another 8 years before running aoc imo
The kind of Republicans that would never vote for a woman are also the kind that would never vote for a Democrat.
Nah.

Why would they refer to a respectful distancing as “slamming”?
Because he’s distancing himself from her politically to be able to run without their performance in the 2024 election dragging him down–and whomever wrote the article clearly has an issue with him and doesn’t want the stunt to do what it was designed to do.
Because he’s distancing himself from her politically
I can see wanting to distance yourself from a failed campaign. Wonder why harris didn’t.
Maybe we all have no idea what they are even talking about when they say slamming.
There’s nothing in this article that matches the title
so… its a news article in 2025?
This guy gets it. Maybe one of the only Democrats that does, sadly.
It’s going to take so much thinking to figure out why? I mean, the voters were pretty vocal in what they want, so that can’t be the problem. Such a mystery…
voters are part of the problem. Half of them, about.
voters are part of the problem
It’s why we don’t listen to them.
Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson are set to publish Original Sin, a book that promises to reveal the “cover-up” of Biden’s decline, next month.
It’s insane how often I still see people claim Biden was fine despite all the evidence and confessions that have came out since the election.
Ideally Biden would have stepped down himself, but they should have article 25th him and let Kamala take over, then ran a legit fair primary where at least voters had a chance to pull Kamala left before the general.
Luckily we’ve already had a complete turn over of leadership and they’re a lot more progressive this time.

To be clear, what the party leadership will affect is future—not current—democrats. Expect the DNC to shift left over the next few years, but don’t expect the current neoliberal shitstains in office like Schumer, Pelosi and Jeffries to become smaller shitstains. Someone still needs to primary those people.

Ken Martins first act was to pick pro business uber zionist Slotkin to rebut Trumps state of the unions speech. Thats about as far from progressive as you can get.
Please don’t post shite like this here again thanks.
