Prtizker emerging along with AOC as one of the only blue state politicians who can string a coherent sentence together

Pritzker: "President Trump ought to be calling that out. If he doesn't agree with Elon Musk, if he doesn't agree with two Sieg Heils at his own rally and backing a party that backs Nazis, then he ought to say so. Why isn't Donald Trump speaking out?

Fan of Pritzker.

Governor Newsom is terrific!

joemarshall.bsky.social•33 days ago

AOC and Pritzker are the leaders of the Democratic Party until further notice, basically.

redwoodgirl.bsky.social•32 days ago

Very much my take as well.

tylerh3.bsky.social•33 days ago

This sums it up

Oafpill Theory really needs this after Fetterman

warsanddolls.bsky.social•33 days ago

but AOC can’t get a bill passed lmao

heffbombs.bsky.social•33 days ago

Maybe it’s just a slow ramping…

Newsom

rabblerous.bsky.social•33 days ago

Is a smarmy yuppie nobody likes, had recently swung right on homelessness, handled student protests on California college campuses horribly, and isn't as progressive or aggressive as JB Pritzker.

(I have lived under both governors)

puppernickl.bsky.social•33 days ago

They are on the same side. As I suspect we are. You can prefer Pritzger w/o rejecting one of the few people who is also standing up to him.

dhaise.bsky.social•33 days ago

Newsum is also big on letting PG&E operate without any true accountability for continually burning down the state.

apearlma.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, not really all that hard. "This is X, a norm we all know and loved up until a week ago. Y stomped on X. Here's what should happen."

No complicated words or inside baseball phrasing — even if it should be there, you're on a media hit targeting people who don't use it.

peppermintjack.bsky.social•33 days ago

that's right

benjicardoso.bsky.social•33 days ago

I’d add Schatz too, though Prtizker is among the best-looking ‘28 prospects right now

brooklynspoke.bsky.social•33 days ago

Jamie Raskin is on the list too but I'm having trouble getting to five.

pdxcharlie.bsky.social•33 days ago

It is the sclerotic conception of political communication that is really damaging the Democratic Party fight now. For example, Jeffries primarily communicates via tweets and appearances on nation TV. That is *NOT* how most people (aka 'the youngs') get their news.

tylerh3.bsky.social•33 days ago

Jeffries is really bad at this

captainahab.bsky.social•33 days ago

Chris Murphy has been hitting a lot of the right notes even if I don't like him much

Pritzker/AOC or AOC/Pritzker idcw

That's how you do it. Now if only the cowardly Leadership would get a clue.

marciaclearwater.bsky.social•33 days ago

He'd make a fine president

MI Sen Polehanki called out Musk's shit as well.

McMorrow is great

she's a friend from grad school. she rules.

poivrotfarci.bsky.social•33 days ago

Pritzker -like virtually all Dem legislators- has absolutely nothing to offer beyond whining about Trump and giving MAGA housekeeping ideas.

It is not a serious party and it is addicted to Trump.

They don’t have any ideas on how to make the lives of the working class better.

snoozebuttonben.bsky.social•33 days ago

JB very much lining up to be a strong 2028 contender.

lisajo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yay! Another benevolent billionaire to lead us from the darkness.

redwoodgirl.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yeah, the last time the Dems ran a class traitor it didn't work out at all. Oh, wait a minute.

lisajo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Billionaires should not exist.

redwoodgirl.bsky.social•32 days ago

I'll agree that billionaires should be taxed down to millionaire status, or lower. But if Pritzker is being a vocally progressive member of the party I'll take it.

lisajo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Wiling to work with him, of course. But it doesn’t mean he should be the next presidential candidate just because he’s rich and feisty.

snoozebuttonben.bsky.social•32 days ago

Gotta fight fire with fire.

proflhunter.bsky.social•33 days ago

I would add @schatz.bsky.social but he doesn't get as much airtime....

gregoryhugh.bsky.social•32 days ago

angryporc123.bsky.social•33 days ago

Front runner for 2028 imo

cinthree.bsky.social•33 days ago

And this isn’t even good (too much passivity). We’re just so desperate for any Dem pol to even be average at communication and marketing

rabblerous.bsky.social•33 days ago

He can be a lot less passive! https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/09/jb-pritzker-will-gladly-be-democrats-flamethrower

cinthree.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yeah, I think he falls into “Democratic Voice” sometimes

barefootdog.bsky.social•32 days ago

WHY ISN'T ANY REPUBLICAN SENATORS OR CONGESS REPS CALLING IT OUT EITHER!!!! THEY ARE ALL NAZIS!

redwoodgirl.bsky.social•32 days ago

Because whether or not congressional Repubs are Nazis, they don't want Trump's goons coming after them.

speedthrills.bsky.social•32 days ago

Nobody wants to be the next Joni Ernst. They worked her over good.

redwoodgirl.bsky.social•32 days ago

Exactly. Republican electeds must all be scared shitless of what Trump's people can and will do.

lynnf.bsky.social•33 days ago

And @repjasmine.bsky.social !

hudsonrivercroc.bsky.social•33 days ago

Pritzker AOC sounds like a winning ticket

drunkxrefugee.bsky.social•33 days ago

One ozempic prescription away from being the Dem front runner in 2028

alli-ward.bsky.social•32 days ago

don't sleep on Chris Murphy either

guitargirlnyc.bsky.social•33 days ago

Its a tragically short list. Grateful to them and the few others.

bklynmichael42.bsky.social•33 days ago

sprawlhater.bsky.social•33 days ago

Unfortunately he went to Duke so he must never be allowed near the levers of power

infinitelyloopy.bsky.social•33 days ago

You would think a person with major influence with POTUS pretty much coming out as a Nazi would be the lead to every interview with a Republican and something the press corp would hound Trump on in his interactions with them.

But it isn’t a private mail server so it’s all good

no-obey-advance.bsky.social•33 days ago

I met JB once, in 2017, very early in his primary campaign for governor. I went into that event quite skeptical of him but came out of it a strong supporter. One thing that struck me was how genuine his hatred of Trump/Trumpism was. He hasn't lost sight of that.

vegetariantrex.bsky.social•32 days ago

I was not thrilled with voting for a literal billionaire at first, but he proved me wrong. I've been thrilled with him and hope he keeps rising in the party.

mgallitano.bsky.social•33 days ago

I was very suspicious of him at first. But Rauner was a hard NO. @govpritzker.illinois.gov has not only kept his promises and been a strong advocate for the people - he’s also been financially good for the state.

aubreygilleran.bsky.social•33 days ago

I know it’s too early but Pritzker/AOC as a ticket has a lot of sizzle.

benfields.net•33 days ago

Flip that order and sign me up

leffjakin.bsky.social•33 days ago

I'm in! The billionaire galoot and his sharp witted working class bartender pal? That's a ticket and a sitcom pilot all in one!

ileftmyburneron.bsky.social•32 days ago

I would love that but unfortunately don’t see a world where her being on a ticket helps in 4 years.

tylerh3.bsky.social•33 days ago

I can see it

ecourtem.bsky.social•33 days ago

Dems have a great opening to be the “fuck that shit” party

mister-sterling.bsky.social•32 days ago

Pritzker is the Democratic billionaire Chris Chistie. My money is on Jon Ossoff. His seat in Georgia is doomed. So he should be rescued and run for the Nom.

katierich.bsky.social•33 days ago

We love the Big Man!

mgallitano.bsky.social•33 days ago

@govpritzker.illinois.gov is the best!

mintwaltman.bsky.social•33 days ago

What makes you doubt the ability of old guard Dems to meet the moment?

bill-fouche.bsky.social•33 days ago

Newsome of California also great.

ocean4m3.bsky.social•33 days ago

Aoc needs more experience

tylerh3.bsky.social•33 days ago

Not hard to do and yet most are so ancient that they don’t have the juice.

That’d be a great 2028 ticket btw

lkmcp.bsky.social•33 days ago

Josh Shapiro is also articulate.

perfectbleu.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s a damn shame because Pritzker was prepared to run in a primary before Biden said he was gonna run again in late 2023

bdog-mom.bsky.social•33 days ago

Pritzker is an actual billionaire, unlike the convicted felon, and he isn’t afraid of the 🍊🤡

bnr-keynes.bsky.social•33 days ago

they all need to be taking the tiny tiny next step

'trump is clearly down with nazis doing nazi stuff in public in his name - that makes this a fascist administration and it makes trump a fascist - if hes not he can repudiate musk, but he wont, just like with the j6 rioters or the nazis in cville'

bioturbonick.net•33 days ago

It's still weak though - this "out to be calling out" game.

Don’t forget Gov Tim Walz of Minnesota!

krinndnz.bsky.social•33 days ago

The Malört stunt at the 2024 DNC was a nice moment too. Pritzker & AOC both show understanding that charming-goofy and loud-clear-principles complement each other.

reftpt93.bsky.social•33 days ago

So proud of my big boy governor ❤️

lurrie.bsky.social•33 days ago

buttigieg but only because he changed his residence to michigan lol

cynbelterreus.bsky.social•33 days ago

If he doesn't run for Governor here, he needs to run against Gary Peters. Because fucking hell Peters (and Slotkin) can fuck all the way off right now.

rabblerous.bsky.social•33 days ago

Won't he be seen as a carpetbagger?
