Pete or AOC would be the most "compelling" but they are unelectable on the national stage. Its true and it sucks. I'm not looking for compelling spokes person. We are past the point of trying to elect 'ideal' candidates, I'm interested in a candidate who can win and fix major issues in this country

If Beshear gets crushed in debates and doesn't have a compelling message, how would he win?

No, you aren't. You are interested in being comfortable. If you did want shit fixed you would be supporting a hard left candidate who makes AOC look like Hitler, which isn't hard by the way. You want a Blue Wall Street shill like Obama to say nice shit while fucking us all.

I would love a Pete B presidency. Dude gets it, is well spoken, very likeable. I don't support running Pete or AOC until 2036 when Millennials and Gen Z take over as the majority of the electorate. But in the meantime we need electable Democrats to help get good policy in place.

You don't get it. That's the issue.

The reality of the situation is a hard left candidate isn't going to get support from the Senate and the House to get their agenda passed. The deck has been stacked against us. We are gonna have to 'baby steps' are way out of this problem as Trump has galvanized a more conservative voting electorate

Pete does the best against Vance now and was beating Trump in polls in 2020. Bashear has never been in a competitive election where his daddy hasn't been on the ballot before him. How could he possibly fix things without federal, foreign policy, and military experience? KY ranks at the bottom too.

Beshear would be an excellent candidate, so would Pete. Beshear has proved himself beyond who your ignorant disparaging.
