I’m curious, what were the other 60% of the answers?

mikenellis.bsky.social•24 days ago

Scattered to random people

Such a very clear message to Dems that we are not seeing any consistent leadership from the party.
Whether they will act on it 🤷‍♀️

AOC has been my favorite since she arrived. Corporate democrats are boring and uninterested in us. She and Bernie are my North Star.

I would say either the Minnesota or Illinois governor should take the reins.

Chris Murphy is the one we need as Senate leader.

An AOC/Walz ticket would be intriguing.

Nearly 20% agreeing that they're best represented by those who keep getting derided for being "too far left" while Hakeem Jeffries takes 4% and Gavin Newsom doesn't make the list is somewhat significant.

It definitely shows the Democrats shouldn't be taking a rightward swing.

A difference with democratic systems in Europe is that after an election (in more or less some time), in Europe it is clear what the opposition party is and who is their leader, in the US it takes 3 years until the next election cycle to have opposition leadership.

Agreed. It's more or less a list of who's actually doing, well, anything

Means a lot, it’s time for the younger generation to take the reins. I’m old af, but these old ones needs to take a rest. Let the next generation guide their new world

Murphy, Pritzker
Buttigieg has real opportunity here
I am disappointed to hear next to nothing from Obama as of late.

Pete is a shining light for us. He should be POTUS in 2028 but will still have people who would never vote for a gay man thanks to religion.

I know, we have been Pete fans for a long time. It goes back to a personal experience a friend had with him in South Bend when he was mayor. Just an all around good (and brilliant) guy. Truly wants to help.

dougcronkhite.bsky.social•24 days ago

That's the sense I get as well. He's in it to help, not for a personal power-grab

dougcronkhite.bsky.social•24 days ago

Truthfully I'm not sure what he could do or say to help right now. MAGA would just start the 'Shadow Govt' conspiracy bullshit again.
