    i’ve seen some people claim Vance can’t win, and as a millennial in their 30s i hope to never see that uttered again. how are you so sure after we elected Trump the first time? how are you so sure after we elected Trump a second time? his initial run was disbelieved by everyone. have you forgotten?

    nothing is impossible anymore on the Right. nobody is unelectable due to bad PR and poor optics. they are unelectable because they aren’t swearing allegiance to Trump.

    Registered voters in California were asked to make their early picks for potential candidates in the 2028 presidential election, as well as provide feedback on other issues relevant to their priorities for the state.

    They asked people in Cali who they thought would run…

    Newsome isn’t a frontrunner, and only the wealthy want him as a candidate.

    He’s just definitely going to run

    God I fucking hate that Newsom is probably going to “win” (read: be anointed as The Guy by the neoliberal consultants the DNC brain trust likes to hire) in the primary

    On the flip side, who even knows if we’ll have an election in 2028

    Ah yes “early frontrunners” who in the entite history of polling have never actually gotten anywhere close to clinching the nomination of their party. Except maybe Trump.
