Given 2028 some thought [View all]

If I were to pick an early choice I am completely into a Pete Buttigieg/AOC ticket.

Tired of everyone trying to appease the middle or concede anything to Republicans.

Let's have candidates that are unapologetically deep blue liberals. Plus we need smart, serious people to fix the government.
I would also still consider VP Harris as well but to be clear people like Booker or Newsom or Schiff are permanently off my list.
