jeffwPoll Has AOC Leading Schumer by Nearly 20 Points in 2028 New York Primary
gibmiserUh oh establishment dems… that’s a huge margin.
Better pull strings to shoehorn the controlled opposition back in!
Quick! Gather the superdelegates! 🥴🦸♂️
nkat2112What 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.
If she loses, the country is cooked. We might be cooked anyway, but like, double cooked. Refried.
Toast.
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.
Because he’s a useful idiot who just parrots what other people tell him.
It could be… I just think in politics when you lose big races, you have a stink on you that’s hard to get off. People won’t believe she can win another big race, so they’ll take her less seriously.
It’s not guaranteed, it’s just a thing that happens in politics.
No, she’d just stay in her Congressional seat.
If she loses, it could be the end of her political career.
If she loses, it will mean the party has been dead a while.
That is some good news!
I really hope she runs for NY Senator. We need both Schumer and Gillibrand to go.
mercIt’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 speaks reality. People in control deal with very controlled messaging. They don’t like people they can’t control.
Nobody?
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.
Useful idiots keep shouting “she’s too young” while voting for dinosaurs.
Really puts into perspective how ‘smart’ the average voter is.
Citizens United was such a misstep, because most people can’t think for themselves and their votes can be bought by convincing them that voting for X will make them look good in front of their peers.
jagged_circleSenators are congresswomen, no?
Technically yes, but we commonly refer to members of the House as congressmen/women and members of the Senate as senators. Being a senator gives you more power because there are only 100 of them compared to 435 House members, so it is a meaningful distinction to make.
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
lumpenproletariatPresident Liz Cheney (D) because it’s her time.
With vp Hillary
But AOC can’t run because Americans are too sexist.
hes only going to be “independant” he already is going to lose his seat to a magat.
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.
AOC 2028
AOC Now!
Cue the next learned essay about how what Democratic voters really want is centrists in 3, 2, 1...
The US has a centrist party? I thought it was right-wing or far right-wing and Em voters think the former is left.
You thought correctly.
No matter how much the billionaire owned establishment media narrative tries to tell people otherwise, state and federal level politicians in the US are further right wing than the electorate they’re supposed to accurately represent and have been for decades.
LaserThe country will be long gone by then
At least things will be different. This is a circle jerky post for the “go aoc” SoMe activists
Promote AOC to senate!
I was thinking more like President but you do you.
At this point I think running Walz and AOC is my dream ticket for 2028. I’m trying to speak it into the universe.
archonetYes, Walz/AOC 2028 would probably win if we still have free and fair elections by then.
How likely do you think that is, at this rate?
She’d have my vote in that case. But to have her as Majority leader in the senate would be huge. people undermine the importance of the senate. but i guess the senate does too. If we can take back our congress we can impeach trump and reverse all these outrageous executive orders that are just starting to hurt people.
Try lowering your glasses even further Chuck!
He’d have to have his nose surgically elongated first 😄
Nah, he can just tell a few more lies.
I’m all for this I think she’s a great rep. But that’s three years away, people have short term memories. Look what happened in nov.
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.
Also her politica though. They’re pretty good.
Yeah, I shouldn’t have made it sound like her brand of politics isnt important. I also heavily agree with her politics.
There are others who have the same ideals, but they arent considered the leaders of the young progressives, and Bernie’s heir apparent. The reason she is out front is because she has never been afraid to get in people’s faces when they come after her. They demonized Hillary for 30 years, and in the end it was what blocked her path to the White House. AOC isn’t going to let them do the same thing to her.
Her Politics of the People make us trust her, but its her relentless strength that makes us want her to lead us. That will only increase as she spends time in the Senate, and we see her grow. It would be great to see her in the presidency in her 30s, but she’ll do a better job in her more-experienced 40s.
If America lasts that long.
This is in 3 years… not many Americans can remember that far
That’s why he needs to resign now, so she can navigate whatever mechanism NY has to replace him (special election or governnor appointment). He might as well quit now, he has no coherent plan to resist the Nazis for the next 3 years, just appeasement and capitulation. Get out of the way and let someone who wants to do the job have a crack at it.
It is her politics and her strength, and Also her transparency and her target demographic.
She represents the people - not the big corporations, even the corporations that favor Democrats.
She’s here for the 99%, and to help her people, she is willing to take from the top 1% that never should have the money they possess.
gmtomI 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, and help people get used to her.
I’d LOVE to see AOC as president, but I think this post is sopt on perfect. I think she could do some amazing good as Senate Minority, and eventually Majority Leader, and become president a bit later in life.
Gerald Ford was once addressing a classroom, and one of the kids asked him if a woman would ever be President, and he said that a woman would definitely be president someday, but the first woman president wouldnt be directly elected. He thought the first woman president would be a vice president, who gets promoted when the president dies. After that, a woman wouldn’t have a problem getting elected. I thought that was a pretty insightful read on the weird bigotry of Americans.
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.
The racist sexist bigots aren’t going to vote democrat no matter what.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that racism and especially sexism don’t exist within the Democratic voting base. They are much less of a problem than within the Republican voting base, but they are still significant enough to swing elections.
And honestly to even suggest the radicalisation of the right was due to Obama is crazy.
Not solely due to Obama, but his existence in the White House did get a lot of people to take off their masks.
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.
