the 2028 prez races shd start asap. tsf commanded the news for 4 yrs cuz he was a candidate.

i’d like to see at least a half dozen, or more, of our best and brightest throw their hats in the ring now.
declare, raise money, and spout off in every forum out there.

steal the fucker’s spotlight.

Is owned by right wing oligarchs.

They won't cover a sane Democrat running for office.....and Democrats won't vote for a lunatic.

the best we can hope for from msm is some name recognition.
it’s hard to figure how bad they will b. but if they give a fig for appearances, they’ll cover it. badly, fersher, but hopefully they’ll spell their names rt.

it’s about demanding the spotlight. if msm wont give us theirs, it will b a focus for alt media.
prez candidates on their platform will boost them too.
