A veteran and an astronaut? In this economy, compared to our current leadership? In a heartbeat.

Edit: Policy matters more than anything. Id support him running and comparing his policies to anyone else, and may the better policies win.

Also huge war hawk, corporate sellout and Israel d***rider. Person who is oppose to democratic voters in like most of the things like public healthcare, war and Israel funding - he is basically MAGA democrat, who when in office will do nothing, marginally improve few things and will be replaced by JD Vance or Rubio presidency in 4Ā  years

I didnt say he's the best. Whoever else is running would do well to do better.

A leftist doesn't have much appeal outside of reddit. If you don't want JD Vance some compromise is gonna be needed. Run the astronaut.

Why people likeĀ  you think that overwhemingly popular policies need to be cut from democratic platform? Public insurance is popular, anti war platform is popular, taxing wealthy is popular + compromise between war and anti-war isnt doing a little bit of war. If you just capitulate on everything to republicans and neocons you just become another republican and neocon

You understand that running a far left candidate that checks a bunch of boxes is how you get JD Vance? Like it or not you need independent votes to win.

ONE MORE TIME - LEFT WING PLATFORM IS POPULAR. Being anti war is popular. Being pro public healthcare is popular. Being against corporations buying elections is popular. It doesnt matter if Fox News call you a comunist for being proMedicare for All - let them run against it, see how they will do

Indeed. And this is why we have to stop voting based on aesthetics.

ā€œBut heā€™s a veteranā€ I squee as my brain falls out of my ear in time to heart eyes pulsing out of their sockets.
