We need a charismatic and populist figure to build a new truly progressive party around tbh. But idk who the fuck that would be.

[helyanwe89]

We need a young Bernie Sanders tbh

[fauxkaren]

Yeah but like idk how to build a de-aging machine so that kinda seems like a dead end.

[trekkiepetrelli]

a Richer and younger Bernie Sanders cause apparently $$$$$$$$$ is the only way to get up the ladder in american politics

[maskofsmiles]

I nominate Sam Reich, CEO of Dropout (formerly known as CollegeHumor) and son of Robert Reich, former US Secretary of Labor

There's a young brown socialist running for mayor of New York City-I don't know much about him yet, but he could be one to watch.

[nutmegdealer]

a man.

More specifically, I'm guessing a white Christian heterosexual man from the Midwest or South.

We don't have a male AOC anywhere do we?

[fernandocolunga]

I mean…. I wouldn’t trust her to build a progressive party anymore

[buries]

It depresses me that you have to say "male". :(

tim walz felt bernie-coded given his record in minnesota, but how to get any guy like that away from the democrats, if they're not already independents...

also not suggesting tim walz specifically, just typing out loud.

Too gentle. Too "Minnesota Nice".

we need to ween people off of cults of personality and make them take civics and vote based on policy.

[fauxkaren]

In THIS America? With THIS media and social media environment? With the population of THESE dumbasses? I fear it’s only a cult of personality that can create any change.

[hallyujah]

NEVER going to happen. We need to identify candidates with the right policies and pray one of them has a cult of personality so we can win
