In reply to the discussion: Pete Buttigieg Says He Is Considering a 2028 Presidential Run [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(19,416 posts)A narrative will be developed, and spread via cooperative media voices, that it s the “turn” of a particular candidate to be the nominee, or that it is “inevitable” that a certain candidate will be nd up the nominee, or that a certain candidate is most “electable”.
Conversely, narratives will be spread that candidates considered undesirable by the DNC are “unelectable”.
It’s worked before, and I expect the same strategy will be tried in 2028 by those who think winning requires maintaining the status quo, and not breaking any barriers or rocking any boats- caution will be foregrounded and risk taking will be minimized.
In addition to the media assisting with this strategy, there will be numerous experts and pundits who will pontificate on how the Dems must play it safe and nominate a straight white male not named Shapiro- some are already hinting at that now.
