 Seriously, why is Rep Khanna not on anyone’s list for Presidential candidates 2028…?

Yes, he’s a politician and should be approached with scrutiny and critical when warranted. But he’s one of the only Dems I believe who actually gets bitcoin, pro-union, fighting against establishment rhetoric/super pacs/money in politics, against revolving door for politicians/lobbbyists, pro terms limits and banning stock trading. 

Enough checks for my list…especially compared to the other god awful choices rn…

 He wouldn't be my first pick, but I give him massive credit for going on independent leftist media shows. More than you can say for any of the other people that are being suggested. He's probably the best of the "establishment" candidates.
