How likely is the left to get a "radical" candidate in the 2028 cycle for potus?
I've been weighing back and forth what the best option for the democratic party would be in 2028. My personal favorite would be Pete Buttigieg, or maybe AOC.
However, running those candidates is much riskier than running a older, straight, white... man. Like Shapiro or Newsom.
How does the party weigh its options between trying to ensure a small victory, versus taking a large leap and electing somebody who could reignite the party entirely?
It felt like in 2008, the election was all but guaranteed and they ran Obama to a similar effect. Is it worth risking it to get our first woman? Our first gay?
Don't get me wrong, I dont particularly care about who's gay or what gender a person is, but I resonate most with two candidates that until this cycle, i would've thought impossibilities to reach the oval.
I guess im horrified today, hopeful for tomorrow, but ready to be dissapointed by a very mild ticket.
Anyone have strong opinions of who might have the best chances of getting the nod, or how the party determines the risk of who they out up in such a turbulent time?
