This is a stunningly good idea. These two women would make a great team but alas, America has not grown enough (or even grown up enough) to hand such power to one woman, let alone two and black as well. But, well, never say never.

America was not "grown enough" for Barack Obama. America will never be "grown enough" for anyone who is not a straight white elderly male. Not until we force the issue and become the supporters of the next generation in word, deed, and vote. I'm in.

I agree with both of you. I would love this ticket. I also fear that America is too white male supremacist to make it happen. I am still reeling from VP Harris's defeat, I was so sure she'd win. I have a MAGA sister who has just stopped speaking to me because I sent her the text of the 5th amendment (due process), the words of the Presidential oath (uphold the Constitution), and the two judges' decisions that the government did not give Abrego-Garcia his due process.

Shame on you for calling US back to Barack Obama and his so-called E-CON Reformers! Have you done no independent inquiry? Have you not seen what a stalking horse his original vision of the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau became when he cut its original reform activist Senator Elizabeth Warren off just as she stood on televised Senate Banking Committee Hearings and grilled Wells Fargo CEO and Board Members (her silence on comatose regulators told US all we suspected of our Financial Regulatory System):

Here are the search words on U. of Tube, get yerself an education tuition free yet it cost US a fortune in transfer of wealth to the 1% Robber Baron Privatizers of Obama's moist dreams for his Kansas Banker grandmom and his Hawaiian paradise formative years:

Oh, and Joe Biden's service during those years. Mother Jones nailed who VP Biden's "clients" were and who was being served (regrettably not with Court Ordered summonses....

An interesting thought but unfortunately I still don’t believe that the vast majority of American voters would support two women on the same ticket. Both have shown their ability to be president but besides two women on the same ticket is simply their young age. Give either the position of VP for two terms (8 years) and either would be fantastic for President (as was K. Harris if not for the hit machine of Donald Trump.)

Sounds like a dynamite ticket! AOC for POTUS with Jasmine for her VPOTUS. AOC is already old enough now to run at 35. By 2028 she will 38. Jasmine is already 44, so no problem there. She will by 47 by 2028. This would make, by far, the youngest presidential ticket in history. I would hope that a prominent position for Bernie Sanders would be reserved. Bernie is 84 now, and will be 87 in 2028. I would be VERY RELUCTANTLY FORCED to say that Bernie is now too old and frail to be POTUS or VPOTUS. He also has a heart condition. A President AOC might appoint him to a high secretarial role, and he would act as an advisor. Always remember, even if the POTUS and VPOTUS are both female, there would still be a lot of us elderly white guys (I am 70) running things for them behind the scenes. This should, hopefully, put aside any male anxiety. I always like to look at it comically (what else?) like this: We men have been screwing things up around here all this time, so let's give the ladies their fair chance to screw things up for awhile.

I would totally vote for them, yes I would... but is it a 'winning ticket?'

I would rather see Pete Buttigieg and one of them on a ticket - but even then I wonder if the majority would vote for them?

How about Tim Walz, Pete Buttigieg or AOC, or Jasmine?

The Democratic field is going to be filled in 2027 when the next presidential election campaign season starts. We really need to start it this fall and talk about nothing else for the next 3 years so that people will be ready to vote and not have to 'make up their minds' or claim they do not know whoever is running. Trump pitched his BS for years before elections actually took place. Repetition has its value.

I think this would be a huge mistake. Even though we all know these 2 would be fabulous, I don't think enough of this country would vote for 2 women of color. We need to have 2 white, straight, young male candidates. I love Pete B but I don't think he should run either.

I believe this is the reality if we can even have an election in the future.

What you say is plausible in normal times, but this country is waking up daily to the fascists's intent, and if given a chance, these two women against Trump and Vance would straight-line the simple choice and overcoming their puerile bigoted sentiments would easily yield to living under billionaire nazi ruthlessness.
