Dems are definitely gonna run the most Washington insider political animal they can in 2028.

I'm thinking Gruesome Gavin.

Nah, he's from California, too much of a 'disconnected coastal elite' (and they just lost with Kamala)

Time for a 'centrist' figure from the rust belt to reach out to people, someone who sheds the 'elitist' imagery...like a Fetterman ticket

i was suprised even in r/politics how much he is despised

and for the right reasons even. but someone like him, with less brain damage, could probably save their party

but they doesn't exist

r/politics has likely no more than 100,00 unique human users(made-it-the-fuck-up) . There are 15,000 unique human posters. All of them are terminally online liberals. Of those 15,000, there are a small fraction of power users, probably no more then 1,000 (made-it-the-fuck-up et al, 2024 ) who create the majority of content on that subreddit (it-is-known). The Internet is dominated by power users who drown out "normal" (if you can find such a person) people's voices. This power user effect is how you get stuff like the outage over Peanut the squirrel.

This, combined with the swarms of bots has lead me to believe that any sort of Internet option monitoring cannot be used seriously.

yeah probably. some days i just want to give up gauging anything. polls are faked, comments are faked, news is faked.

it would be so easy to hermetically seal us each into info bubbles and just create independent realities for each person in the west.

work is so intense i can't talk to anyone there about anything. family in their own bubbles.

Or Gary Peters from Michigan. Centrist, white, and has the Midwest vote!

feeling a pritzker/fetterloser ticket here. "our billionaire" feels like peak beltway brain

The 2028 race is going to be between a creepy weirdo and an elitist ghoul, both of them extremely off-putting. At that time things will be worse than they are now so I think the elitist ghoul has the best chances, simply by representing the other team.

People are gonna warm up to Vance. And now little Marco is SoS, he is a refined political animal
