@neeratanden You’re right, and that’s why Michiganders should vote for ABDUL! Michigan’s an anti-establishment populist state, not a centrist state like Georgia or NC for example, so vote ABDUL!
@Nebraskademsoc Arab/Muslims who thought Trump would bring peace to the Middle East & Arab/Muslims who are super socially conservative but like the representation.
@Zoomer_Doomer_ Raphael Warnock is the nominee, explaining the big leftward shift in South, with Rob Sand as VP nominee, explaining the big leftward shift in Midwest, and they are running in the Middle of a Great Depression 2.0 w/ Iran war being an unmitigated disaster.
@Bethea4SC@BasedIllinoisan The 2034 point is valid, if elected, she’d have to earn the trust of her constituents. Also, in my scenario, even if she underperforms by 5 points, she wins. I want more leftist senators, and let’s see the national environment by then before we draw conclusions about electability
@Bethea4SC@BasedIllinoisan In a scenario where there’s a big crash before the 2028 election, which isn’t too unlikely, and leading to the economy further suffering on top of the tariffs, and if Trump’s approval further decreases, I could see an economically populist Dem winning by around Obama 2012 numbers
@Zoomer_Doomer_ I hope she wins, she’s phenomenal on policy, but unfortunately the charisma & fundraising isn’t there. We need the NH version of Graham Platner to defeat DINO Pappas in primary & win general.
@mehdirhasan@RepRoKhanna@RepJeffries I really want him to, but if he does and hopefully succeeds, who runs the left wing lane in the 2028 Dem Primary in that case? We gotta consider that too.
