What's the best Democratic Presidential Archetype for 2028?

[Anonymous]

It's me plugging James Talarico again. Did anyone listen to him on Joe Rogan? He is so thoughtful and articulate, and seems like a good human. He blends Christian faith with progressive ideas. In a match-up with JD, I think a significant number of Christian right would line up behind him. Even Rogan said he should run for president.

I’ve heard some interviews with him and he sounds like an earnest guy. But do we have to cater to Christians? Remember separation of church and state?

AOC is your best bet but you won't pick her because *everyone else* is a sexist and racist. The democrats in this thread repeatedly demanded a white man as president, particularly a southern white man. You know, for... all those deplorable racists.

Newsom is most likely. He's the white man you want. But he will lose because he has cocaine finance bro vibes, admitted to sleeping with a teen, and has run California into the ground.

Lol. Mark Kelly isn’t sexy enough to win says the Trump supporter.

I note that you didn't object to any of the posts suggesting other demographics. Why do you only register concerns about Christians in office?

Christians are a big voting block, peeling off a few from R can swing an election.

Christians vote for who their church tells them to vote and it sure isn’t a dem. Nice thought though.

I’m a right-leaning Trump-hostile independent. Beshear is on my “do not vote for” list because of COVID. Based on past experience, I assume someone will chime in to the effect of “lol screw you maga!” But (1) I’m not MAGA and (2) if you’re hoping to win elections, you should try to win votes like mine!

Because of what the dems did during Covid I would be happy to see them suffer and suffer and suffer electorally until the end of time.

If just one of them would come forward and apologize for their conduct, policies, and rhetoric during that time I might consider voting for them.

But they never will. Because being a dem means never having to say you’re sorry.

The problem is that there are lots of single issue voters like you. You’re all about COVID policy. Someone else is all about immigration. Someone else is up in arms about trans rights. Maybe we should just poll test every single issue and create an AI candidate that optimizes among all possible positions. Or… don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

We aren’t apologizing because we weren’t wrong. The one area Dems screwed up was closing schools for too long under pressure from teachers’ unions. Otherwise (vaccines, masks, etc) we did just fine. By the way, you do recall that Trump was President during the worst of the epidemic right? Actually he did pretty well too.

Right here, guys. They have NO REGRETS apart from school closures.

What about James Talarico from Texas?

Yes. Policy plus vibes. Calm, soothing.

Maybe that could be done if you'd spend less time on people/personalities and more time on what policies you would like to see.

The masks were at best empty virtue signaling and, for special-needs kids like mine, an act of monstrous cruelty. It was bad policy. The bourgeoisie thought they were Jonas Salk or something just because they followed biomedical orders.

That’s fine. You can do what you want. I’m just explaining why you lose voters like me. You might be okay with that, but the traditional strategy in an election is to try to win lots and lots of votes in hopes of eking out a winning number of them!
