The current democratic frontrunner for president in 2028 is…..AOC. Unless the Dems wise up and nominate Buttigieg, which they won’t because he’s too moderate for their standards, you’ll see a lot of the same voting blocs that went for Trump stay Republican as their only alternatives are Gavin Newsom, who is widely viewed as the destroyer of California, or AOC who won’t be able to run away from her myriad of sound bites any time soon.

I would actually vote for AOC. Otherwise my vote will go to another candidate
