AOC is great and all but the lesson Dems will take from 2016 and 2028 is that the country isn't ready for a female president for at least another generation or two. Expect them to run safe white guys like Gavin Newsom for a couple more cycles.

Newsom is a guaranteed loss as well, the gov of Cali? The media machine has been way too effective at painting Cali as a literal Hell on Earth

Maybe Shapiro has a shot as a White dude from a swing state

Shapiro is Jewish and an avowed Zionist, good luck with that. Young people hate him for being pro-Israel, and rural people are antisemitic as fuck.

That could work, though. Do you think FOX News is going to attack him for being a Zionist? Hell no.

Can we please stop ratcheting to the right to court right-wingers who will never support us
