Its not like she has a realistic alternative. What do you want, a split democrat ticket going up against the republicans ?

I’m an ideological purist and I’m voting for Jill Stein! This won’t backfire in any way!

AOC is being smart/practical. Is Biden anyone’s first choice on the left? Fuck no. We can have some more ideological purity when the choice isn’t between milquetoast and literal fucking fascists.

Biden wasn’t even my third choice in the '20 primary. That said, he’s one of the most legislatively accomplished presidents in modern history. Still zero chance I’m going to be excited about voting for him in '24, but who has a shot at beating Trump right now? is maybe the guy that already did?

I agree with this sentiment, but how long must we wait to vote for actual exciting, progressive candidates? It feels like we’ve been “holding our nose” for decades now, and each time we vote for the “lesser evil” they become more emboldened to ensure that they always have power.

Given the data? 2032 the least. 2028 if millennials and Gen Z voted near 100%. I recall a study that points to only 2-3 red states if every single millenials and Gen Z voted.
