Jeff Jackson - Future of the Democratic party

How many times will they make this mistake that black voters only vote based on race?

I never knew Schumer specifically made that comment about Beasley vs Jackson.
 
Just catching up on this thread and absolutely laughing my fucking ass off at the Republicans on here acting like they would vote for Jeff Jackson in a senatorial or presidential election. Get the absolute and utter fuck out of here, y’all are absolutely awful at lying. You’ve read Jeff Jackson’s policy positions, right? The moment he announces a national race, every damn one of y’all is going to be talking about how he is the next coming of Che Guevara. Godalmighty :LOL:

No, Jackson needs to get elected to a position that will bring him national attention sooner rather than later. If he has to step on Cooper’s toes to do it so be it. He has a far higher ceiling than Roy Cooper and he’s waited long enough. Roy needs to get out of the way of the young guy.

How interested is Roy likely to be in starting a six year term two years from now? He will be 69 in 2026.

Good question. But I know from someone who is about as close to the Cooper family as you can get, that Roy had the first right of refusal for Kamala’s VP pick back in the summer, but did not want Mark Robinson near levers of power. So it does seem that he may have national ambitions.

Jeff Jackson is the best politician in politics today, regardless of party. I would vote for him for potus today. He is one who potentially has the ability to help reunite the country. He has the "IT" that this country sorely needs.

I do not believe that you would and I know for certain at least one person who liked your post would not as he's said as much even though he likes Jackson in office in NC.

You said it better than me.

You can also add Roy Cooper to the list of people whom they'll vote for in NC but never for national office.

That seems to be my recollection as well.

If I'm incorrect, I apologize but don't think I am.

I actually seem to remember some kind of triangulation vote for Mark Robinson for LT Gov only because it would keep Cooper from considering running for Senate.

You have previously said more than once that you wouldn't vote for Jackson for a national office.

That’s definitely my stance as it relates to Democrats in general. But the more I hear from Jackson, the more he separates himself from the fray. I would absolutely prefer him be governor of NC than a US senator from NC though if given a choice. He can make a lot more of an impact as governor.

Correct. See post above. I would much rather talented democrats I like stay in state where they can be more useful, vs just being a number for chuck schumer in DC.

If we are talking POTUS though, you aren’t “just a number” for anybody at that point.

So in summary, Jackson for US senate? Previous comments may apply depending who he is running against. Jackson for POTUS? Sign me up!!

If Jackson ever does run for POTUS one day, I can guarantee you that Republicans everywhere will start calling him a Socialist/Marxist/Satanist radical pedophile bum who wants to sell America to China. They do it every four years, no matter who the Democratic candidate is. And they do it because it works.

And HY2012 would be leading that charge on this board. You can mark that.

Who gives a shit? They said the same thing about Obama. When you have it you have it.

Jackson should absolutely run for Tillis’s Senate seat in 2026, no matter what Chuck Schumer thinks. Schumer has repeatedly shown he cannot be trusted to make decisions on NC Senate candidates. He might still be majority leader if he didn’t push Jackson aside for Cheri Beasley.

Have you seen the photos of him in Afghanistan? He has beard! Did he convert?
In all seriousness, Jackson actually had to caption the photos of him in Afghanistan with an explanation that because of his duties, he had to interface with Afghan civilians, he was requested by the Army to grow a beard.
 
Dan Bishop’s attack ads against Jackson were child’s play compared to what Republicans would do if they thought he were a serious threat to win federal office. He will be the most liberal socialist son of a bitch since Ilhan Omar.

If you think that Jackson has a great future, then keeping him away from the 2022 campaign was a great idea. Before Dobbs, 2022 was shaping up to be a bloodbath. Beasley was a sacrificial lamb. Beasley is the type of person you run in elections that you don't think you can win, to build cred with the party base.

If you have a star in the making, don't blow him on unwinnable races. Otherwise you end up with Beto and Stacey Abrams, neither of whom have any future in American politics. Mayor Pete was smart enough to know he had to get out of Indiana. He's used his time in DC to relocate to Michigan and he will be running either for gov or Senator there in short order. I think (though am not sure) that Big Gretch is term limited. Expect Pete to make a push.

Run the future stars in good national environments to give them a track record of success and some incumbency. Running Jackson in 22 would have been a mistake.
