(31,084 posts)I have a couple of thoughts.
I think that Democrats should not nominate a politician for president in 2028. I believe that by nominating someone like Malcolm Nance, a military man, or some other strong man, it will unite more unwashed Americans, it will let everyone know that Democrats are serious about restoring our democracy and punishing the people who destroyed it.
There ae rabid, hard core Magats who will never leave the Magat party, but I believe that there is a significant number of unwashed Magats who will join us to throw out the billionaires. Having the support of unwashed Magats will put pressure on Congressional Magats to abandon Krasnov.
The only thing is that the worst of the cuts to our social safety net won't happen until Dec. 1, 2026, after the midterms.
Weird, but my hope for saving our democracy may rest with unwashed Magats, or anyone else who was on the fence about supporting Democrats.
