Gavin Newsom is their best bet. But he may not be radical enough to win the primaries.

Democrats nominated Biden from his basement because “he is a moderate and a centrist”.
Which turned out to be a complete bunk.
He was neither.
Instead he was a trojan horse puppet to be used by autopen and it’s shadowy cabal.
But the point is, you have the likes of AOC which IS radical enough to the hardcore leftists, but she will lose to Newsom for the same reasons. He is going to present himself as a moderate, and it’s going to work.
The reason it will work is because democrats only care about winning power back. They don’t and wont vote for AOC in the primaries because they will fear that she can’t win the general election.
Of course Newsom is no moderate.
But that doesn’t matter. What matters is how he gets packaged and if the primary voters think he can win.
The one who scares me long term in Spanberger. She will win the Virginia governor race. I expect her to be the frontrunner in 2032.
