Pritzker in 2028

[Charmin One]

He is standing up to the rapist in chief

1. He is also standing up to

Milquetoast Democrats.

2. Especially if he loses billionaire status. n/t

3. So many of us progressive dems in IL didn't vote for him in his first primary.

We didn't trust him because he's a billionaire. But, most of us now are admitting he proved us wrong. FFS, he supported a bill to raise taxes on the wealthy. It didn't pass. But, he supported it.

Yes, I would love it if elections were publicly financed. But, they are not and Pritzker is actually a great guy. No he isn't perfect. But, I plan to vote for him in the Presidential primary.

4. ' I plan to vote for him in the Presidential primary.'

9. That's awesome...

I would probably still vote for him because of his track record, but I'd simply love it more if he did what it takes to lose billionaire status. I'm one of those people who think the existence of billionaires in a country/world where people are barely surviving (and often don't) shouldn't be.

12. I totally agree. But, the world we are in now unfortunately it is hard to win when you don't have politicians

like JB chartering planes with their own money to get PPE for their state from other countries when trump was blocking the funding. Also, JB spends millions supporting politicians in other states. No one should do that. But, until the laws change I don't see any other way.

I do hope one day there will be no billionaires. Until then to some extent we are pawns in their game.

[OneGrassRoot]

13. So true. I hope behind the scenes...

people like JB, Mark Cuban, Melinda Gates and any other more benevolent people are working together.

5. I would vote for him today

Gretchen Witmar has been such a boot licker of the orange hitler.

[Tribetime]

6. Way way way too early for me

[dsc]

7. Have to say I wasn't a fan when he first ran but I was wrong.

If the primary were today he would be in a top tier for me. I would vote for Walz over him but him over anyone else.

[UTUSN]

8. K&R

[kentuck]

10. I do not think a billionaire can bring the Democratic Party together...

...enough to win the Presidency. Some folks believe that behind every great fortune is a great crime. Just my opinion.

[Nanjeanne]

11. 2028 is far away. Let's hope we have a great

Primary Season with a great slate of candidates. Pritzker is definitely a contender. And I believe there are many more who will be challenging each other to come up with a big bold agenda for this country.
