If the Democrats were wise they would choose the next candidate now in order to get the party going in a specific direction, just like the Republicans have done unofficially from 2020 to 2024

As though they haven’t already chosen both the person and the direction. It’s newsom and rightward, respectively.
I’m talking about officially doing their primary right now. Look at how it works in a parliamentary system, if a party loses its leader there’s an official interim leader taking their place until a new one is selected and that leader/interim leader is officially the one choosing in what direction the party is going. The party doesn’t spend 3 years leaderless leaving the other elected officials do whatever they want.

Yeah, they’re not gonna do that. Not in public, at least.
As a Democrat, no one has ever accused my party of being smart.
I want Tim as president and AOC as vice since I dont want to risk the bunch of idiots who wont vote for a woman fucking everything up again.
This is the ideal progressive ticket, IMO. It’s not as scary for the mid as having a female President (grow the fuck up, guys), but she’ll still be able to provide her support and opinion far above her current station. People seem to really like Tim, which is great.
But in the end none of it matters. They’re all historically pro-Israel and people don’t forget that. They’ve begun to change their tune, but only just now. It seems disingenuous to get votes, which just seems…hollow.
Tim? The guy who said he’s an idiot sometimes? He was picked because he was viewed as a safe choice.
Aoc 2028
AOC Pres with Tim Walz VP would be great
It seems to me that the US is unfortunately too “-ist” to elect AOC.
She voted for Take Down law that Trump will use for against anyone who goes against him. She no fucking progressive fuck off no to future neo libs.
This is such a stupid take. The other guy does 100 things wrong. AOC does 99 things right, and 1 wrong, and you want to discard her entirely for it. Politics isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being closer to your ideals than the other party. You’re rehashing the stupid “but genocide Kamala” argument again. Look where that got us.
Don’t let perfect get in the way of good.

She will run, and the DNC will sheepdog her like they did Bernie, keeping everyone herded up in the party until they realized they got fucked over, again.
Bernie’s being doing some rallies with her recently. If I were to guess, Bernie’s not going to run for POTUS again, he’s going to endorse her.
The Great Sheepdog Tour
Bernie could get the VP nod.
If we could stop floating ancient and/or billionaires, that would be greeeaat.
Bernie is the one exception though. The only exception.
I love Bernie and I would vote for him if he were on the ballot, but he has no business being president at this age. I think he recognizes that and that’s why he’s actively helping the new generation.

Things we can say now that biden is no longer running.
You ain’t wrong, but I said the same thing about him. Almost exactly. The biggest difference is I wouldn’t have to hold my nose to vote for Bernie, I genuinely like the dude and my policy quibbles come down to quibbles.
Rant incoming.
Hell, the DNC may run Bernie now that he’s old enough. Or they’ll pick a cop to lead the ticket where their side doesn’t like or trust the police. Anything as long as they don’t win. Their last big winners were Obama and Clinton, both of which were in their 40s. Can’t make that fucking mistake again I guess. Even on the R side it’s been middle aged people rather than geriatric motherfuckers since Reagan until Trump. When the fuck did someone decide that you can’t be president unless you were a billion years old? I want someone who represents the future and wants to take us there, not someone whose slogan is “I’ve seen the future, and it’s a better past…which I also saw because I lived through all of human history”.
I’d rather she primary Schumer.
That’s probably the more impactful move if she were to win.
