Column: This magnifying glass is gearing up to run for Queen. Could he be the one to save ants in 2028? Politics bureau chief Jonathan Martin takes a closer look
There will not be an election per say. Has any of you taken poli-sci or history in school? Or keep up w current events?
StarlinkX will once again in cooperation with election judges in each state, appointed by treasolini will determine the winner in every forthcoming election. Just like Russia
A neo liberal with a history of burning democrats who don't capitulate to him is not someone I want on the primary debate stage. Might as well not bother running any candidates if that fucking shit show happens in front of a camera.
I don’t even care we save the Democrats, just save the Country. This isn’t a team sport, it’s literally about saving our constitutional rights, schools for kids not born into wealth, free speech and thought. It could be someone from the tooth fairy party, I do not care.
This won't work. Will the democrats ever learn from the past? The messaging and language doomed the left. Will history repeat? It better the hell no. There are other viable choices!!!
Bc Rahm Emanuel is a perfect example of the ‘consultants’ that lost Dems the election in 2024.
Sure, the election was stolen by Elon, but the ‘caution’ of these big paycheck Dems was a factor.
Bernie Samders is now too old to run, he would be my choice.
But Rahm and others squashed his run in 2020.
someone like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (who was Kamala Harris’s VP in the 2024 Election)
He has done a lot with the Dem majority he has in his State to help working class/middle class
people and is a straight shooter,
calling out the wealthy and big Corps who currently have a 5% tax rate.
The fuck kind of braindead take is this? Did Rahm Emanuel write this? Nobody wants Rahm's RFK Jr. wannabe ass anywhere. Democratic savior... GTFO with this inane shit.
Talking points for my 2028 run: I have never been convicted of rape, I pay my taxes, my kids have gotten $0 from the Saudis, I took the SATs myself and scored over a 1K, I honorably served my country in the Military, i have never tried to overthrow the government (of the United States at least)
I'M ALL IN!
Rahm is EXACTLY who the Dems need! Tough, smart, experienced as Obama's former Chief of Staff and Japan Ambassador who will not let bullshit social issues distract from real CRISIS issues that Americans face in this fascist world we're moving towards.
Sit down Rahm… you’re part of the old tribe… they don’t want you… they don’t want more of the same… I mean I like you, and we need folks like you- with institutional knowledge-be an advisor, sit on the cabinet, be an Ambassador - but I don’t want you to run…it needs to be someone new… seriously!
💙☮️
Sadly, an old white man is the only kind of person America will allow to be president right now. I hate that fact as much as anyone else does, but it is a fact.
I agree with you about the white and man part which is a real shame because there are some highly competent, bright, courageous women of color out there.
I didn’t mean to offend and be ageist. I’m not a youngster myself. I love Bernie for instance. I look at the young politicians in Europe, Ukraine for instance, and it makes me want to see some fresh perspectives from new generations.
Hey, I'm not offended! It was a genuine question - curious to know what you consider "old."
It's tricky b/c there is something to be said for experience (although I'm not sure that's really true anymore), but there is a lot of great youthful, highly assertive talent available - is the USA ready?
Obama proved that hypothesis wrong. It's the ISSUES. Not how many campaign bribes you can collect from billionaires. Like it or not, Trump won because he won on the ISSUES. What did. Dems run on? Hating trump. It's the ISSUES. Not race, creed, or religion.
https://bsky.app/profile/govpritzker.illinois.gov/post/3lil7raa7vc2y Emanuel is a “divide & conquer,” “slash & burn” Trump-style personality but with a Blue Tie. LEADERSHIP comes with consensus-building, goal of raising everyone’s ship, and ability to attract the BEST & BRIGHTEST. There is no contest with @govpritzker.illinois.gov on board.
I'm sure the field will be full, but at this point I would not vote for him. It is still my hope that Harris will run again and I would definitely vote for her. We are going to need a competent woman to clean up the mess Trump leaves...if we even have an election.

Nah. And if someone is arguing for this, their judgement should be considered bad and their opinions treated as wrong until 20 years of future studies have been published supporting their argument
"...finding new ways to attack Trumpism from the center."
Yeah, right. The "center" -- that is, meeting the fascists halfway to WWII Italy -- is by definition half-fascist. Perfect for the special interest donors this filth admires.
Same tired old DLC Third Way nonsense: call one's self a Democrat, and peddle influence to Wall Street like a Republican. Working people need not apply.
I'd rather have both eyes gouged out with red-hot spoons and the bloody sockets filled with molten salt than vote for this Republican sonofabitch. Democrats, if you nominate this rotten corrupt colostomy bag, I will CAMPAIGN FOR THE REPUBLICAN OPPONENT hoping to teach you bastards a lesson.
If we're going to bring on corporate fascism, I'd rather have a Republican do it, just to keep a bright line between fascists and an acceptable Democrat. Go tear down someone else's public schools, you Linda-McMahon-looking sonofabitch.
The democratic version of the biggest asshole--although definitely more competent and experienced--we could find on our side to match theirs. That's a hard, no taco!
This guy COVERED UP a murder when he was mayor. Otherwise he'd still be in office. He's the one who turned Obama's hope and change to hopeless and oh sorry, no change, suckers. DON'T DO IT.
Those pseudo-GOP's guys'days are DONE. They are the rot that made voters flee from the Dems. Don't go back! We need pro-labor, progressive folks like Walz or Pritzger.
Both hate Trump. It's a long way to the Presidential election, so let Rahm play opposition. Doesn't mean he'll still be there in 2028. Waiting for Pete.
Looking at the 7 candidates for NYC mayor. I'd have preferred these candidates in better times. By in a cat fight with Trump? Who's your pick?
I'm focusing on the elections in 2025. I need Governors, Mayors, Judges, AGs, and a Congress that will fight for my rights, now.
If we get to vote in 2026, I focus on turning over GOP seats in Congress.
Today, I don't care who runs for Pres in 2028, as long as they voice a loud opposition.
Personally it should be Walz. He’s also been vocal and staying out there. Hell, he’s doing a better job than Booker and his hand wringing what can we do BS.
He’s long gone from active politics, but hey, why not? Democrats are not precisely smart to pick up the best (presidential) candidates nor have the discipline to make their own win easy elections.
Exactly! Rahm is part of the OLD (65yo already!) establishment that
1) Fucked us up with their inaction/indecisiveness.
2) Continue to fuck us over by pearl-clutching, hand-wringing, and wearing pink/waving auction paddles while Bernie Sanders is out MEETING THE PUBLIC!

I don't think so.
He would likely destroy what's left of the Democratic party.
Useless publication.
Everybody: No, no he could not.

I look forward to Democrats benefiting for Rahm's messaging and attack skills.
I agree with you about the white and man part which is a real shame because there are some highly competent, bright, courageous women of color out there.
Ugh.

Period.
GTFOH.
No, really...GTFOH.
No one knows anything 3 1/2 years out other then the next president won’t be from the GOP unless they cheat again.

I hope Emanuel gets eaten by a walrus

We need no centrists. We cannot court a cult.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Also, really, the former mayor of the maga’s favorite punching bag city? Come on…
1) Fucked us up with their inaction/indecisiveness.

Rahm, go RETIRE somewhere!
