Uh oh establishment dems... that's a huge margin.
Better pull strings to shoehorn the controlled opposition back in!
Quick! Gather the superdelegates! 🥴🦸♂️
What a dream come true it would be to have AOC primary him.
Promote AOC to senate!
It's amazing to me that she's still only a congresswoman. I can't think of anybody who has been in the national spotlight for that long without moving up to at least senator, if not a cabinet position.
She first got elected in 2018. How many senators got there within three election cycles of their first office? Just because Obama went from Illinois State Senate to US Senate to President in a four year span doesn't make such a climb normal.
It's not just Obama. Reagan spent only 2 terms, 8 years as governor of California before becoming president. George W Bush spent only 5 years as governor of Texas before becoming president. JD Vance only spent 2 years as a senator before becoming VP.
For people who haven't become president, Tammy Duckworth spent only 4 years as a congresswoman before being elected to the senate. John McCain was only a congressman for 4 years before becoming a senator.
Generally people who get national name recognition that quickly don't hang out in congress that long. Once they hit the senate, sometimes their progress stalls. See Biden, Warren, Bernie, McCain, John Edwards, John Kerry, Bob Dole, etc. But, normally national name recognition = senate, at a minimum.
Good. I'll never forgive that simpering, cowardly, weak, spineless bitch for stabbing Al Franken in the back. He should quit while has a chance to do it without looking too bad, but if he won't, she should run him out in embarrassing and humiliating fashion.
AOC got into Congress by beating the #4 Democratic Congressional leader in the primary, now she's poised to beat the top Senate Democrat in the primary. She's an actual giant killer. All other Democrats should take note - it's not her politics that people are responding to, it's her strength. We need people who aren't afraid to stand up to the Nazis, and she is fearless.
I just want her to run for president. But after fielding 2 uninspiring establishment centre-right candidates with no grassroots base, that offer nothing exciting, the Democrats and even many voters think that women in general are unelectable.
I just don't think very highly of Americans in general. They are too sexist, too racist, and too elitist.
They want a rich old white man. Only one time ever did they attempt something else, and that lead directly to a third of the country becoming extremists.
I love AOC. Hope she will become president one day. But please just run with someone that your sexist, racist, elitist neighbors can actually vote for.
Let AOC become Senate majority leader first. That would be really cool, impactful, and help people get used to her.
Nah I vehemently disagree with this. The racist sexist bigots aren't going to vote democrat no matter what. Kamala spent a lot of time trying to court the """moderate"" republicans and it didn't work.
Obama won because he had a base and he got people excited. People still remember "Yes we can" and just the general hope and inspiration he brought.
And honestly to even suggest the radicalisation of the right was due to Obama is crazy.
Cue the next learned essay about how what Democratic voters really want is centrists in 3, 2, 1...
I really hope she runs for NY Senator. We need both Schumer and Gillibrand to go.
Try lowering your glasses even further Chuck!
Lol 😂
He'd have to have his nose surgically elongated first 😄
Nah, he can just tell a few more lies.
Cool... AOC is leading in the polls about an imaginary election taking place more than 3 years from now. Meanwhile yesterday I spent $116 on groceries and didn't even need help carrying them up the stairs.
Schumer has already started cozying up to the most important election lobby.
Israel.
Activate AIPAC
AOC 2028
AOC Now!
I’ll be glad to see the back of Corporate DINO Schumer. Though after being booted, he’ll probably regularly show up on Fox News as a token Democrat to criticize anything the government does that helps the people more than the billionaires and corporations.
Carry on AOC, perhaps she will lead the normal Americans out of the fucking orange nightmare.
Trump already told U.S citizens that they won't be voting anymore after his election.
Someone should tell the Boomers that it's time for them to get out of politics and let the younger ones replace them.
2028 primary election polls?
I'm busy planning the Orlando Magic's NBA title parade, while we're worrying about realistic concerns.
My hope is that more "quiet Democrats" get primary'd. Usually they would say "don't primary me, you'll risk losing us to the Republican candidate in the general and we have a moderate agenda that's the lesser evil".
Right now they don't have an agenda at all, no rudder, no direction. This is the time to primary tf out of the old Dems.
People are turning against Chuck "my job is to keep the left pro-Israel" Schumer? Say it ain't so!
Primary for what position? What are they running for?
Aren't they both already representatives?
People have been pushing her to primary Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat which goes up for election in 2028
That is some good news!
