2028 Democrat Dream Ticket

[Hound of Heaven]

Here are my requirements for someone on the ticket:

1. This person is experienced in government and understands how it works
2. This person recognizes MAGA for the dangerous authoritarian cult it is and fights it principally by standing up for every good thing it is not
3. This person believes in the Constitution and the rule of law
4. This person believes in progressive (not regressive) taxation and actual fiscal responsibility
5. This person rejects the imperial/authoritarian presidency and unitary executive
6. This person will not nominate ideological loonies (like Alito and Thomas) to Supreme Court

I would eagerly support a ticket consisting of Sheldon Whitehouse and with either Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Jasmine Crockett as his running mate. I think they fit all your stated requirements.

Are you really serious right now? Surely, you understand that men participated in the voting process, correct? Men are unlikely to support a socialist candidate, and even less so for a socialist woman like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has repeatedly demonstrated her disapproval of masculine men. Why is it that progressives like you struggle to grasp that men have the right to be men, just as women have the right to be women? Socialism faced rejection in 2024, and it is certain to be dismissed again in 2028.

You can't even define the progressive movement, despite bringing it up in every post you make. Let's save the thinking for the adults, ok little guy?

On a national level, I can't imagine Socialism not being rejected (But, given how far left the left insists on heading, I guess we shall see)

In NYC - I think it's quite possible that we will soon have an open Socialist Mayor there.

Zohram Mamdani of course. People jumping to their death from the burning WTC twin towers have been long forgotten a mere 24 years later.

You literally support a man and ideology that made huge cuts to the WTCHP, pulled the research grant that was examining the disparity in the FDNY's disease incident rates, gutted the FILI cancer rate research, and pulled staff from NIOSH that was dedicated to 9/11 first responders. Under Trump, cancer care was stopped for months through the WTCHP for responders and survivors. 9/11 first responders literally died from lack of care because of the incompetence and cruelty of Trump and his ilk.

Any MAGA loyalist that tries to bemoan 9/11 being forgotten is a special kind of vile hypocrisy.

Many rational individuals find it challenging to define the progressive movement, as it appears to lack principles that align with their beliefs. If you're seeking a true definition of progressivism, perhaps a visit to your local insane asylum facility might provide some insight, as many individuals there seem to align with the progressive movement.

Additionally, it might be worthwhile to inquire if the individuals there can provide a clear definition of what constitutes a woman, as many progressives I encounter seem uncertain about how to articulate this concept. I appreciate your help in advance! Please return and report if you find a progressive that can correctly define woman.

I agree.

Who was on the ticket?

I honestly can't conceive of a "dream" ticket, because I don't hold any politicians in that high of esteem. There are definitely qualities that I like seeing though, and I wish all candidates could emulate. Like Barbara Lee's ability and courage to break not only with her party, but with the national pulse in general, and ultimately have history prove her correct. Bernie Sanders unwavering ethics, and consistent desire to find ways that help the most people possible is something I wish more politicians embodied. Particularly how his stances often center around "the least of these." I guess there's a certain irony that the most Christ-like politician we have is Jewish.

Harry Reid was a partisan turd on the national stage, but when it came to the people he represented (his state), he generally was incredibly effective and didn't play partisan politics. Some of the greatest years that Nevada experienced was while we had an absolutely amazing Republican governor (Sandoval), working alongside Harry Reid. That ability to put aside partisan tribal loyalties when it comes to getting down to work and making things happen for the people you represent is largely lost nowadays.

I think my "dream" ticket would be a president that was relatively young, well educated (preferably a degree that required some level of courses in sociology, poli-sci, economics, civics, and the law), and empathetic. Not so empathetic though that they might not be able to make the difficult commander-in-chief decisions. For VP, I'd like someone older. Basically a confidant that the Pres can lean on for the types of insights that generally only come from experience. Preferably someone with military experience, and a decent amount of time in some form of large government organizations (not necessarily as a representative, but somewhere in the bureaucracy). A juxtaposition of someone who has the types of new ideas that come with relative youth, and someone who has been around to see a lot of ideas either succeed or fail.

I think it’s sweet that you’re asking for help with this question. Keep us posted on when you figure it out.

If this person is on the ticket come 2028, I will very seriously consider voting for him/her.

Thanks for the valuable thread contribution.

If you need a definition, the dictionary is always freely available. There's no need to be harassing innocent people into making up for your own deficiencies. Matt Walsh looked like a nimrod when he tried this routine as well, by the way. But if you like taking cues from a guy with VERY strong opinions about age of consent laws, and how they are preventing white men from getting the most fertile females, well be my guest. But nobody is required to take you seriously. But i'm a generous man, so tell you what, ask me pretty please, with sugar on top, for a definition of a woman and I'll give it to you.
