He can go back to the McKinsey foundation…
The biggest danger to the Dem party is someone like Pete winning the primary. Hed put the old guard back in power over the party and bend to American oligarchs.
But it’s a very open field:
A June Emerson College Polling survey, published on Friday, finds Buttigieg, who is gay, leading the Democratic field with support from 16 percent of likely primary voters. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who once dominated early polling, has slipped to 13 percent, followed closely by California Gov. Gavin Newsom at 12 percent.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and New York U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez each earn 7 percent, while Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders captures 5 percent and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker 3 percent. Nearly one in four Democratic voters, 23 percent, remain undecided.
I’ve been all for Bernie since 2015, but I hope he doesn’t run either. I’m honestly surprised to see he still got 5%, but if he does the smart thing and sits this out, I’d imagine he endorses AOC.
No thanks.
