You're right about NYC. But wins add momentum, which builds and proves the DNC wrong.

The more and more I hear about Platner, the less I'm willing to defend him. He'll capture liberals, sure, and I prefer to have grace for people if they've shown that they can fix their shit and atone for what they've done in their lives, but he sure ain't the perfect candidate. You're right that we don't want Fetterman again, which is why we need to be critical of Platner here and now and not Vote "Who" No Matter Who like many liberals are doing now. If he keeps making bad decisions, like Kamala did as soon as her 2024 GE campaign made it to the DNConvention, then it'll suck. Janet Mills is an option, but she's not perfect either.

If Platner can have good messaging discipline, keep his campaign to Leftist economic popularism, come out with policies that support that agenda that he'd like to see implemented in Congress, and stay woke, I think I might throw him more support. But these things build. Trust needs to be built. And we all know that trust can be destroyed faster than it can be built.

Americans want populist candidates, and Leftist economics are popular.

AOC has a good track record. I want to see her because the leader of the party. I think the establishment Dems and DNC ignore the reality in front of them that their underlying base is changing views (against neoliberalism), and AOC should lead that fight. I think she'd be better for SML instead of President tho. Because of what we said about NYC and NYS, because of how it votes differently from the rest of the country, I think she has a safer bet to oust Schumer and gain even more national notoriety as a SML. She'll be setting the stage for the Dems, and hell, has more of a backbone than Jeffries ever will.

Lots to be excited for
