AOC running for prez? Neoliberal Overton windows coming up; Stephen A? Barf me

Type your summary here Type rest of the post here

Well, in talking with The Ax, David Axelrod, last week, she certainly left the door open.

Given that she's already been part of stealing the Green New Deal from the Green Party, then watering it down, backed off cow farts to eat burgers and other things, how much more neoliberal will her Overton Window shift be?

That said, of the 19 listed candidates for Democrats that USA Yesterday (have to make up a nickname, even though, as when it was still Gannett, it's Craphouse that wags that dog), many will not run. 

Mark Kelly will, if nothing else, not want to put wife Gabby Giffords through this, I think.

"Hawaii Gov. Josh Green." No, really?

Stephen A. Smith? He talks out of both sides of his mouth so much (last week, a day after saying that Wembanyama should be suspended for Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he saluted the NBA for NOT suspending him) he could try to run for both duopoly parties' nomination at the same time. Speaking of, USA Yesterday ignores how much he cuddles up to Republicans. 

Amy Klobuchar? After her 2020 disaster?

Tim Walz? Tarnished.

Josh Shapiro? Too ardent a Zionist for many Democrat voters, even if elites try to push him.

Mayor Pete? Don't think so. 

The wingnuts come out for Radley Balko

Radley Balko, whose studies of militarized cops means he knows authoritarianism, tells librul Democrats to STOP believing the “woke” bullshit as being a political problem.

Sadly, half or more of the responses there by last Friday afternoon were either ex-ConservaDems now in anti-woke Never Trumper GOP land or else true wingnuts who tout election denialism and other things.

That said, these people in the first group, like previous rounds of former ConservaDems, were just looking for excuses to jump ship. In 2028, they'll pretend that Bagger Vance is a nice guy.

An hour after I had posted, the worst nutters, who I blocked, obviously were responding to me, but I wasn't seeing it as Substack was doing a back-and-forth flickering on comment numbers.
