To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

real issue with most of our political commentators having very little experience with the military, to say nothing of black people in the military, is that none of them clocked this for what it obviously was

Here's a preview of this scenario. Pete wins Iowa, AOC wins 2nd or plurality in MI, NY, and NV, Newsom maybe wins NH and bets everything on California only for a squeaker of a plurality while AOC picks up a string of wins in the sunbelt.

Beyond that is the incipient economic fallout to the Trump administration along with ongoing economic pressures that have been building for years that the Republicans are uniquely ill suited to combat. The country will not be willing to hear the same old politicians spout the same failed policies.

Going into 2028, we have a glut of empty shirts (mostly white men) that politicos love because precisely because they're empty shirts. None are particularly skilled speakers, or have even a fraction of AOC's fundraising ability or media savvy. They'll cancel each other out.
Sean McKnight (@ynot1989.bsky.social) reply parent
Putting aside the question of if she would win, the answer to IF she will run is pretty obvious. If she doesn't run, she will almost certainly be the VP nominee of whatever empty-shirt white guy survives the primary. She's on the ticket either way, so why run for Senate?
Sean McKnight (@ynot1989.bsky.social)
Despite a glut of politicos being convinced that AOC is either going to run for Senate or remain in the House in 2028, I remain convinced she will run for the White House, and I'm reasonably sure she will win.

I'm torn because, as an alternate history buff, I like a cover like that or what Matt described a lot. BUT, World War Z, and the Good War both have extremely simple covers. At most I'd want to add an American flag in tatters to the backdrop.
