I don't think positions on Israel really fall under moderate vs leftist argument anymore. The Dem party as a whole is on board with cutting off aid to Israel and someone who's against Mamdani style governing could very easily be all for cutting aid.

Being split on this cost them the 2024 election. They have finally picked their side and it is the correct one.

And for anybody out there still wringing their hands, Israel also votes in November. They can avoid the sanctions and radical change in policy by ousting Bibi and changing their ways.

Right. My guess is it's so set that it's not even much of a debate in the '28 primary. I'd be surprised if there was more than 1 person on stage that wanted to continue funding for Israel. The measuring stick will be how each one of them wants to go after the criminals in office now and how far they're willing to go with structural changes to keep the fascists from dismantling the country again.

I saw video yesterday of Israeli soldiers harassing a little boy of about 7 or 8. They made him take his shirt off to prove he was unarmed, then ripped his shirt to shreds. That was my first thought.

Which is why AOC is the front runner in the betting markets for 2028.  She's pretty much the only one running that lane. Trump was only one running far right in '16, Biden was the only one running moderate in '20.  If you got the lane to yourself your chances go up dramatically. You set the goal posts and everyone else has to nitpick as to where they are in relation to you.

Thankfully SC votes first and they won't touch AOC. There's no chance Dems nominate a woman in '28, whether that woman was first to the party on Israel or not.

Eh...I'd think Elizabeth Warren jumps in at some point. Ro Khanna is around as well to get his 1%.

All hypotheticals at this point, but my guess would be she skips SC and heads straight for Nevada (heavy latino) and New hampshire (bernie territory). throw in her bartender background for Nevada and she could be the favorite in 2/3 opening states.

He's a lock for the nomination. I was wondering who was retarded enough to connect with the gop voters and damn if he isnt a lock. Rubio is too smart and too brown. Vance speaks in complete sentences. Hegseth is their guy.
