Trump is going to try to have her assassinated. I garuntee it.
She won't run, the DNC needs to keep her as the official party sheepdog, replacing Bernie.
She is one of only two people I would be excited to vote for.
The other person is Jon Stewart.
And with a captured SCOTUS and ineffective congress the republicans will make sure she gets nothing done. Assuming there’s even an election.
Sigh.
Look. I like her. I like her fighting spirit. I like that she gives a shit. I like it all.
But when is this country going to learn? Look around you. Our culture is trash. This country is overflowing with racists and sexists and incels. Look at where we are right now.
We've tried to elect a woman twice in a row. They were both WAY more qualified than their opponent. And they lost. I voted for both of them.
If we run AOC, they'll run a white male bigot. And they'll win. Again. Using the same tactics.
Know your audience.
I'm not sure the racists and sexists and incels are gonna vote for the Democrat candidate even if it was a literal clone of Donald Trump, solely because it's the Democratic candidate
She's not actually. I don't think she's that stupid as to think she'd be able to overcome the bias of the democratic party establishment in just 2 years. What's she and Bernie are trying to do is galvanize the apathetic left into standing up and fighting rather than just sitting on social media and complaining about how everything sucks. What is needed is huge numbers of people to come out and vote like their lives depend on it (cause they do).
I’ll be voting for her if she is the clear path to overcome tyranny. If not, I’ll be voting for whoever that person is.
We are 3 years ahead 2028 the "lesser evil" narrative doesn't play here. Anyone endorsing members of a corrupted party complicit in a genocide is far from being a good person.
50 years of liberal 'lesser evil' has grown to an enormous greater evil. It's been incremental fascism
Fox has propagandized the right to hate her to such an immense degree that this simply is a terrible idea. She can never win.
So the way I could see this working for her is have Bernie Sanders come and endorse her right out the gate (I doubt he'd be up for being her running mate, but it'd probably be an even better run if he accepted that).
Ol' boy had been VERY effective at breaking into right - leaning spaces and I could see him contributing to getting the historically Democrat (but not recently Democrat) voter out for AOC.
My real concern is the party leaders. I could see them trying to hold back resources and effectively pulling the same moves they pulled in Bernie to hold her down.
She's showing her face again? But not to denounce genocide? Then she's got a chance in the dem "party".
she might win, but she wont "win".
AOC needs to address ageism with her followers. I saw something in my Blue sky feeds and found the following disgusting: https://bsky.app/profile/impassionata.bsky.social/post/3lza7iahur222 And https://bsky.app/profile/badtrump.bsky.social/post/3lzahgbkndc2z I'm sure there are more and I'm not sure if these users are trying to be argumentive or what
I hope she wins
-sigh- She'll just have to be liberal enough to get my vote I guess. If she wants to seal the deal, she's gonna have to come out swinging against Israel though.
