I don't know who's running in 2024, I won't commit myself to voting for any demographic, although realistically a woman of color will probably be repping the left. Here's my take on readily visible names in the current state of play. 1/
First off: Bernie. He'd be too old, really doubt he'd run, and really doubt he'd garner any energy after today. 2/
AOC bailing on the campaign due to a 1 minute Rogan ad does not suggest she would be able to weather being accused of having mean fans by centrists. Unconvinced, who knows 2/
Warren: I do not support Warren running for president, she's terrible. 3/
Tlaib: I'm interested, and we'll need to see her soft skills get a lot sharper. Truly antagonistic in a way that AOC isn't, and it'll be interesting to see how she shapes up. 4/
Barbara Lee: I don't know enough about her beyond her war vote so I'd need more information. Like Bernie her age would be an issue. 5/
Ro Khanna: haha, no. 6/
Katie Porter(someone will bring her up): It will never happen, some of the reasons for why are deeply unfair, but she also would pull less people from the same Warren wing and nothing from the left. 7/
Stacey Abrams: Abrams should've run for senate this year if she wanted to be a major player nationally. Like Sally Yates she ran out of juice. Add Sally Yates and every single other high profile loser/firee from 2016 through now. 8/
Everyone else who run in 2020: No-one who ran this time will get the backing of the left. Not Tulsi, not Yang, not Castro. 9/
1 of the 100 challengers who might win a primary/general this year: I dunno, maybe? 4 years and then a presidential is a big ask, but it happened for Obama. We'll see. 10/
I dunno, like a governor maybe? I mean, sure maybe. I just think all of the governors on the Democratic side suck and are stuck in the 1990s. Seems like a sucker's bet. 11/
An outsider like Sara Nelson, etc. could get traction. Jesse Jackson never held office before he ran in 84/88 and he almost won twice. Anyone after Sanders would have had him pave the way in two straight elections. 12/
That's the state of play in the Democratic party as I see it. I can't predict what happens outside of it in the meantime, but there are a lot of possibilities outside of the party too AFAICT. 13/13
