AOC has it all. She’s progressive, well educated, from a humble background, intelligent and good looking. I am rooting for her but I don’t expect the Democratic Party to have a fair primary for that Senate seat.
Was nodding along until you commented on a politician’s appearance….
Unless you haven’t lived in the real world, you’d know that -like it or not- looks also matter, and right now we need all the matter we can get
It matters more for a women, men are allowed to be ugly.
It matters for men too, though I’ll agree it matters more for women
I’m not saying this is a good thing, I’m saying this is how it is because it’s how humans are wired. Like it or not, subconsciously you’ll like pretty people better
It’s the unfortunate reality in American politics, especially for someone from a minority group
Or any woman
yeah MTG is really struggling.
“Look at this one example, that means bigotry no longer exists!”
I’ve never voted for anyone because the are considered “good looking”. What a shallow approach to politics.
Yes. It’s an incredibly shallow approach to politics. Humans are shallow.
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.
AOC is having a fucking moment, so naturally women of color suddenly can’t win. Sanders got raked over the coals for just being accused of saying something like that to Warren. But it’s sure different now that the party can’t use it as a weapon against a progressive. Now they’re trying to keep AOC from running. So the party will hold back all women in order to hold back one progressive woman.
Let AOC become Senate majority leader first. That would be really cool, impactful, and help people get used to her.
It will give us time to think of a new excuse.
How is it sudden? Trump won both times you tried running women as president. Your fellow countrymen are bigots, have you not noticed that yet?
I know you want it, its fine. But the world cant take 4 extra years of whoever heritage chooses to dismantle democracy for them, if i happen to be right.
How is it sudden?
Because there’s speculation that AOC might run.
Trump won both times you tried running women as president.
Trump won both times we ran uninspiring centrist women for president. AOC is neither uninspiring nor centrist.
Your fellow countrymen are bigots, have you not noticed that yet?
The ones you want to impress certainly are.
You have 50mil eligible voters who haven’t even registered. You have another 40 million registered voters that didn’t bother to show.
I agree with you that AOC is the best bet America has for a better future. But the important thing is not getting the best outcome, the important thing is actually beating the Nazis.
Are you willing to bet the future of the free world that you are right? I simply don’t have enough faith in the American people. You keep disappointing.
You have 50mil eligible voters who haven’t even registered. You have another 40 million registered voters that didn’t bother to show.
Yes, voter apathy is a problem. Running uninspiring candidates isn’t going to fix apathy; it will make apathy much worse.

Ain’t seein’ much evidence of anyone else actually willing to oppose nazis in any way.
Are you willing to bet the future of the free world that you are right?
The last 3 elections have been against trump. We ran dull “not trump, I guess” candidates in all three. Biden only barely squeaked in and then spent four years demonstrating that democrats don’t keep their promises to anyone not named netanyahu.
If you have a more charismatic candidate than AOC, a white (conservative, naturally, since that’s all this is really about) male, name him.
Any poll three years out is worthless bullshit.
I remember a time when the United States actually took a break from reporting on elections instead of manufacturing hype for four solid years between major elections.
The current political media landscape is exhausting, and I’m so sorry to everyone who is young enough to think that constant election projections are “normal.”
Multiple 24hr all-news channels + produced as an entertainment & engagement product + people thinking that what smart informed people do is watch the news channel all the damned time. It all adds up to this crap we have today.
Carry on AOC, perhaps she will lead the normal Americans out of the fucking orange nightmare.
What a dream come true it would be to have AOC primary him.
If she loses, it could be the end of her political career. So it’s definitely a risk. At the same time, if he loses it will be as well. He better resign if he thinks it will be even close.
Why would that be the end of her political career?
Because, in the game of thrones, you win or you die.
Seriously, though, I don’t necessarily agree. Though it’s not the norm, people DO come back after losing high profile races.
Just look at how establishment media can’t kick their Hillary addiction, or how Kari Lake somehow remains relevant in spite of never winning anything but Arizona GOP primaries, which are basically just bigotry state fairs.
If they can, AOC DEFINITELY can.
If she loses, the country is cooked. We might be cooked anyway, but like, double cooked. Refried.
Uh oh establishment dems… that’s a huge margin.
Better pull strings to shoehorn the controlled opposition back in!
Quick! Gather the superdelegates! 🥴🦸♂️
Come 2028 and the Dems are going to try running with Hillary again.
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.
The ONLY thing I’m learning from these Polls is that we need to go FURTHER RIGHT and Bring Back HARRIS!
-The DNC!
The only way to unite this country is to launch Manchin for president.
- DNC
President Liz Cheney (D) because it’s her time.
Biden is already offering to come out of retirement to help!
Fuck off you old POS. I’m so ready for someone like AOC to be the front runner. This country needs it whether the majority of people realize it or not.
Promote AOC to senate!
2028 primary election polls?
I’m busy planning the Orlando Magic’s NBA title parade, while we’re worrying about realistic concerns.
