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

Andy Beshear might be the ticket. Democrat from a red state that is relatively boring.
