lol, fuck off. we need a progressive, not a piece of shit scumsucker status quo politician. it's her time. join us or be a racist, misogynist, I guess.

True. Hillary's popular vote win immediately invalidates their "America won't elect a woman" narrative. She was that unlikable and ran a shitty campaign and still won the popular vote, lol. Imagine if an actual woman ran!

AOC/Bernie did the smart strategic move to look like they were super loyal to the party. In 2028, it means they can't accuse her of being disloyal and had Biden remained the nominee, it would have allowed the two to exact concessions from him. They utilized that awful corpse!

Exactly. AOC has played the smart in-game with her party and especially her lie that "Kamala is working tirelessly for a ceasefire"...it's smart, it will help the Left but I don't morally agree with it AT ALL.

Music was pretty amazing in 1991, huh?

That's absolutely what's going to happen and I'm here for it. If you go look at the individual state polls, she's usually in just single digits and in fifth place. When the early states take a close look at her, they won't be biting. No compelling reason why she should be the establishment choice.

And there's Representative AOC to provide that overhaul. Otherwise, you're just rearranging the deck chairs on Wall Street's cruise ship.

Hard disagree. What we need is an actual progressive that excites people. Those two women were just the same old tired politics but with a vagina.

AOC is that doctor.

That is one low ceiling!

It's such a powerless weapon for anyone to wield, LMAO. Your opinions suck and removing yourself from the pool would be greatly appreciated, ya bitch.

You're not understanding. She ran for the nomination in the 2020 cycle, failing miserably and dropping out in December 2019. Nobody liked her because she's an inauthentic cunt. And now here we are.

Literally the only major candidate. Everyone else has a Super PAC, loves Israel, doesn't love Medicare-for-All and wants to continue greatly increasing the Pentagon budget. This isn't rocket science. Bernie was the only real candidate those other two cycles, this time it's AOC.

AOC Amplifies FDR's Forgotten Warning Finally, a few top Democrats are explicitly arguing that working-class economic populism is needed to stave off authoritarianism and defend democracy.

Finally, a prospective 2028 Democratic presidential candidate is explicitly articulating and amplifying FDR's long-forgotten warning.

Finally.

Fuck Gavin Newsom. Fuckin Kamala Harris. And fuck every neoliberal Chorus freak that grift for republican lite. AOC would dog walk these cucks in the 2028 primary.

Race was actually irrelevant for Bernie as far as 2020 is concerned. His base was far less white than the last cycle but he sucked with voters 60+ regardless of race. That was his weak point - the propagandized/conservative elderly. Single digits/5th place with them AFTER winning Iowa

Fact 1: Black voters are 20% of the party.

Fact 2: Bernie won black voters under 40 on Super Tuesday and voters of all non-white races overall.

There's no excuse to have a Socialist President and half her party's electeds working against her constantly. They serve no purpose nor is there an 'electability' argument given the crazy D+ nature of their states and districts.

Part 2 of the AOC Presidency that's necessary would be primary challenging every single full-on centrist Dem in a Blue state/district out of their Congressional seats. There's about 150 of them currently. AOC shows up, endorses the challenger and the party spends on challenger. House cleaning.

ok sorry so what does this actually mean: it means that unless someone is starting their analysis of saving american democracy by focusing on the oligarchy, i don’t really care what else they have to say. it’s like someone talking about basketball without mentioning the 3-point line.

i need to admit something. the more i think about how many of our problems are downstream of a very small number of ppl and organizations hoarding all the wealth and power, the less interested i am in discussions of american democracy that prefer to focus on anything else.

correct, it is critically important to destroy the oligarchy, and it should start with incinerating silicon valley and everything in manhattan south of 110th st

Sensible take. This is what I'm arguing. Give me her and I'm perfectly happy. Give me another Wall Street shill like the rest of the party and it accomplishes nothing but genocide and we have every reason to burn it down.

The other candidates have already decided to do what their Wall Street pay makers tell them to do. Given that these creeps wouldn't even budge on genocide back in 2024, they're clearly immovable.

The last Dem President couldn't speak and didn't fight

The party needs change. We need a progressive nominee. That automatically doesn't happen if she foregoes a Presidential run. We get stuck with another Wall Street/AIPAC shill that got us here.

You wish. Trump will hopefully outlive Hillary, Joe and Bill just so I can laugh at the Shit Libs who caused this mess crying about it, lol.

If only Biden was in charge. Remember when he sent out a strongly worded letter? LOL.

He won't seek another term in 2028 either. He's just trolling. Again, Biden's whole point was to stop Bernie Sanders and people worked hard for that and then now we suffer the consequences.

No he wouldn't have.
