To me it shows that Dems could gain a lot of young voters if they runs candidates in 2026 and 2028 who are willing to push back against the big Yahu’s special interests.
I mean I don’t at all care. Good for her, I was just caught off guard. I was almost convinced I was following a fake account.
I think we all know that the way we do primaries is broken and the nomination can be swayed heavily by which states get to hold their primaries first. My idea is that we should hold 3 primary elections nationally, with the first two being ranked choice voting. The first election (ideally in February) every candidate polling nationally at least 1% can run and be on the ballot, with voters also being allowed to write in one additional candidate if desired (as a back stop to potentially corrupt polling). After the results come in the second election (ideally in April) should consist of the candidates who ranked in the top 5. The third and final election (ideally around June) should consist of a popular vote between the two candidates who ranked with the highest ranked votes of the second election. I’m still workshopping this though of course.
Every time I see him on his campaign trail, I think “This guy could get the nomination in 2028.” He’s a popular swing state Senator, young, charismatic, and speaks of the corruption within our government, which is very popular among all parties. I really think he’s one of those that is hardly talked about in 2028, but would gain popularity quickly if given enough stage time in the primaries.
