    Democratic Party Candidates for President run in 2028

    Gavin Newsom has made his first step towards a run for the White House in 2028 by striking out against the progressives in his party and saying boys do not belong in girls sports.

    I look to him to rethink his position on medicalized gender affirmation for minors in the next year or so.

    I heard Mayor Pete backtrack last week on a pet Democratic Party position. I just can’t remember which one it was.

    so here they are, coming into the fold of the center in preparation for 2028.

    okay---hopefully, by this time next year, Der Fuhrer(Heil!)will have acquired Greenland for Lebensraum and the good of the American People, and have deported not only central americans, but also rounded up dissidents and fanatics and people who don't conform to the American norm, and rehomed them in Greenland Territory, USA. Kind of like how people who didn't like Stallen & Socializm were sent to Siberia. So, it's not an aberration or perverse, like same-sex marriage. Problems solved. Thankk mee.

    Yeah, the Democrats have some serious work to do. I'm just as upset at the current administration as anyone, but their "resistance" at the SOTU was embarrassing. Disjointed, ineffective--they looked like a bunch of sourpusses. Anger would have been better than douleur. I have respect for Al Green... but then 10 dems censured him.

    Both parties have morphed into aberrations of their former selves. Neither one is worth discussing.

    But back to Democrats – I will start giving them respect as they drop their Crazy Think that they’ve embraced for the past few years such as Men are Women and the WNBA can beat the Lakers.

    Also, I would like the Democrats to sincerely take up the importance of Free Speech. I worry that these younger generations do not seem to value that. I see this as a topic on which they could gain ground, teach the youngsters why it is important to be able to say what you think.

    He’s been tergiversating on diversity training lately, comparing it to a “Portlandia” sketch and saying it creates new Republicans.

    I think some of the brighter Democrats are starting to realize that doubling down on the crazier culture struggle stuff is not the way to win elections. Unfortunately, I also think the MAGA world has adopted some of the pathologies we used to associate with the left: moral and epistemological relativism, identity politics, zero sum economics, mob psychology and the belief that power justifies itself. We’re seeing a sort of race to the political bottom.

    Sometimes I DO agree with you, IL, such as here. Given that I am a known dissident, I am very worried about the clamp down on free speech in.this rapidly sinking country. For those hell bent on remaining in the US or unable to leave for whatever reason - it is a valid terror/cause to.work for. I myself even never foresaw things coming to this - but here we are. Imagine that - my takes on the US while not yet quite mainstream, moving towards such with every day. Rob

    okay---see this photo of picturesque & scenic Greenland. But yeah---how'd you kids liketa take up residence there? Looks nice, don't it? Plus--you can be neighbors with Babra & Cher & summa them others. But yeah---them houses sitting on a cliff by the water prolly only sell for a couple million(krona); so yeah--move there while property is dirt cheap. Ha. Thankk mee.
