Why I would support JB Pritzker for president in 2028: [View all]

* Like Joe Biden, I believe Pritzker is an unashamed New Deal Democrat and not afraid to stand up for working people.

* Like the Kennedys (RFK Jr. excluded), JB is very wealthy, yet believes the rich have an obligation to pay their fair share and help people who are worse off.

* Pritzker is a strong suppoter of Civil Rights for all, including the LGBTQ community

* Is he is strong on reproductive freedom

* Pritzker would support Isreal, but not be a puppet of Bibi Netanyahu

* Young voters agree with almost everything listed above, which might cause more engagement and turnout

I know many feel we must have a safe, centrist Democrat like Andy Beshear (a good guy), but I think many are thinking out of fear rather than reality. They are under estimating the growing anger in the US over income inequality, corporate greed and gouging, and the Epstein Class buying our elections.

We may never have a better moment to elect a progressive president than is 2028 and if successful, we can bury the Republican Party for years to come. I believe JB is the man to do it!
