I would go to war for this man. He and his wife are true American heroes.
I call on all Millennials to [run for something](https://runforsomething.net/run/). It’s on us now
I may be biased as an Arizonan, but I think he’d make a very good ‘big tent’ candidate. I understand some think he’s too moderate or that he doesn’t have enough charisma, but I think he could be hard to beat with his name recognition/resume.
Yes absolutely and I think he could win. I am in.
I’d be more than happy to see him and hear him out in the primaries.
He’d have my vote if we end up actually allowed to vote.
If he’s ready to drop the gloves and flush “if they go low, we go high” mentality down the toilet, I can see it. It’s about time to treat democracy as something special but fragile that needs to be protected, by force if necessary and stop letting the enemy use democracy as a shield while crumbling its foundations.
He sounds good on paper and hes a good guy but his messaging isnt great. If you gave him the power of Pete with how he messages then hell yes.
Washingtonian here! Hed have my vote and the vote of my house as a veteran and navy pilot

I love Mark Kelly…but we desperately need someone with charisma at the highest level. Someone who can easily sell BIG ideas. Mark Kelly, as much of a patriot as he is, ain’t it.
Meh. We need charisma to excite people again. We need a great speaker like Obama. I think Pritzker or Buttigieg would excite people and bring some hope back.
Mark with Pete as VP.
Would he be a good President? Probably. Will he make it through the first few primaries? Not a chance.
Him and Pete, what a f-ing team
He’s a swell guy but far too normal and far too willing to work with “the other side”, which is now comprised entirely of cowardly fascist wannabe Trump sycophants. Working with “the other side” now is lilke “working with cancer”.
Trump/Musk/DOGE are in the process of overthrowing the US and establishing a christofascist idiocracy. They have coopted all 3 letter intel agencies, neutered Congress and SCOTUS, and corrupted long established relationships with allies such that they no longer share intel with the US, since anything they share could become part of Putin’s next daily brief.
The odds there won’t BE any more elections, let alone any with any semblance of “free and fair” ones, is much >0.
Assuming there ARE any more elections, for any nominal “Democrat” to win the Presidency, they would need to be the “opposite world” version of Trump:
Unwilling to compromise, aggressive, kick ass, speaking only the truth based on facts, willing to take immediate direct actions to reverse all actions of Trump/Musk/DOGE which have undermined our nominal democratic republic (which is all of their actions) and deploy harsh consequnces to any and all (including Democrats) who supported illegal and unConstitutional actions under the Trump/Musk/DOGE reqime, including prison time.
Yes I know that’s a run on sentence but that’s how I roll when I’m pissed off.
Many of Trump’s actions, such as the poisoning of relationships with our allies, are probably irreversible but such a President could work towards that end.
TLDR: Kelly would be swell in “normal” times. “Normal” has left the building and is never coming back.
Kelly Walz 2028 would be something else.
Assuming there will be an election in 2028x
I feel like we should be caring way less about who might run for president in 3 years and start focusing on getting progressive candidates in the House and Senate. 🤷🏻♀️
I will not donate another pen y until Schumer is gone.
He’s a traitor in Musk’s opinion, so he’s perfect.
I could get on board with that.
Sure, but the Dems need to grow the party more than anything. Too damn many people don’t vote in this country.
Maybe the next four years will energize them.
A big issue for me: He lacks on-screen charisma.
If he wants to run he is welcome to it. I don’t think he is a good enough communicator to win however.
Amazing guy but you have to sell yourself to become president and a good resume is not enough.

I like him but think that his anti-gun stance will lose too many voters when we need all of the votes that we can get. Overall it’s not a winning issue.
What’s not to like about a former naval pilot with a degrees in marine engineering and nautical science, aeronautical engineering, former astronaut, and dedicated husband of a former US representative gunned down as a result of conspiracy fueled political violence.
Dude understands what’s at stake, he’s also a good communicator who’s not going to shy away from a fight.
If there an election in 2028 I’d love him
Dems will make a poor choice again, trying to push the envelope in the wrong direction. Assuming we ever have another election
He’s a white male that has blue eyes. He’s a veteran too. He’s a good husband as he was there after his wife got shot.
That alone would make him a good appeal to Republican base.
Overall good moral character, probably one of only good ones we got left
He’s a former astronaut. He wins my vote on that alone.
Who thinks were voting again?
Bold to assume there will be an election.
Kelly/Pete might be a good ticket. Kelly can be a bit boring despite an incredibly not-boring background. Pete is the democratic attack dog, basically the only democratic willing to go head-to-head with the MAGA people and could help make up for Kelly’s personality although he could work on that, too.
Why are we still pretending there will be elections that aren’t rigged?
I fucks with it.
I think he’s be an excellent choice
A great choice
KELLY 2028
Yeah! He’d be a great option considering who his wife is too! Gabby was an awesome politician before she had to retire….
Excellent candidate and would happily vote for him.
I do support Pete first, and then Pritzker.
Nice guy. Strong morals.
Zero charisma.
I was just thinking that. He would be a great candidate! Look, I voted for Harris and was devastated when Cheato won. However much I would love to have a woman of color or a gay man (Buttigieg) as President, the US is too racist, homophobic and misogynistic for us to take any chances. We must run a white man to be sure of gaining the Presidency next time. (I posted this thought in another sub and was attacked and called a racist and misogynist). Anyway, Kelly would make an excellent president in his own right imo.
