General Discussion

No way Harris can win a Dem primary now, and the same thing for AOC (at least not for a long time).

Despite my being a 28 year old mixed race lesbian of colour, an atheist, and a big Buttigieg supporter since 2019, I absolutely will not vote in our primary for anyone other than a straight white male Democratic candidate in the 2028 Dem primaries. I am even worried if our pick is not a Christian (Cuban, Pritzker, and Shapiro are Jewish, and unfortunately antisemitism runs riot up and down the US culture, including in our own Democratic party, and there it is far from limited to just some Arab Americans and some white activists).

Why do I say all that? Because above all else, we need to win, the world needs us to win in 2028.

No more dice roles in 2028 with gender, religion, sexual orientation, and race atm.

The US, post Obama and post Trump's two wins and the rise of MAGA, is, on balance, too racist, too homophobic, too religiously bigoted, and too misogynistic to gamble on deviation(s) from those flashpoints playing a role in yet another POTUS loss (in 2028 and likely for multiple other elections down the road).
