I and pretty much everyone here have major disagreements with AES (heh), but he will be the Dem nominee in '32 if he wins this Senate campaign.
Would prefer '28 tbh. Long shot, I know, but it has been done in the recent past (edit: sort of)
I think he will support AOC in '28 but I don’t know if she can go the entire distance (maybe 35% chance today but growing, goes up a lot if AES wins).
What’s an example youre thinking of, though?
Obama?Ack nvm I guess he won his Senate race in '04, my memory was faulty here
spoke at DNC that year, DNC would not let that happen with AE-S
plus Obama is CIA and so was his mom
Gotcha haha but yes I think he can follow that same track and dominate. One of Obama’s biggest flaws (setting aside overall criticism from his left ofc) was hesitating because he didnt want to be labelled “Muslim communist”, so he didnt want to be aggressive advocating for even progressive liberal solutions that he may believe in. El-Sayed is getting that treatment very early on so he isn’t going to give a fuck when it comes to a presidency. He is still a progressive liberal like Obama, but that is what will win in US electoralism in the 2030s, I’m sure. Also most of his allies will be to his left, so I don’t think we will see anything worse than what we’ve seen from Mamdani when it comes to that stuff.
