Why do people keep talking like Newsom is the *only possible* candidate for '28?! "Newsom or Trump!" Pritzker, AOC, Walz, Polis; hell, Jon Stewart could run and might well beat Newsom if he did. *Newsom is not the only option.* *Talking as though he were is not helping!* First they came for, yo!

AOC/Bernie always had the fight but they're not viable candidate. I wish AOC could appeal across the aisle, she's fantastic, but way too new York leftie to win in the general.

You know, I really wonder about that. Harris was ever so moderate and, wow, did it not work...

Why? Because he was the only one with a fight. JB is stepping up. Booker had that fighter mantle back in the spring, then dropped it - I don't understand why. If it's a matter of "not left or right, but right or wrong", why not keep up the fight?

Yeah, it's a couple of years to the election. It's not like we have to anoint the final candidate right this minute. 🙄 How many people outside of Illinois had ever heard of Obama in 2005?
