RedditsuxSHOCK POLL: AOC a Close Second Place Behind Kamala Harris in 2028 Democratic Primary
I’m GLAD that Democrats LEARNED from their Past Elections and are running a KNOWN LOSER WHO COULDNT BEAT A LITERAL FASCIST who Ran on the Platform of Ruining Our Lives! It pairs VERY WELL with Chuck Schumer’s Policy of doing NOTHING while American Citizens are Deported to El Salvadorian DEATH CAMPS!
You probably need to take a break from the internet, for your own health and safety.
IDK, these days people disappear when they go out to touch grass…
ClassStruggleImagine losing to a carnival barker 2 times and not learning a thing from it. They will run their 2016 and 2024 playbook again in 2018 and wonder how they lost, again.
The Poll isn’t by the DNC it’s by Yale University. Dufus.
MoreFPSmorebetterIf those are our two front runners we are fucked.
JesusAOC would be great.
She’s hit and miss for me. When she’s calling people out on their bullshit regardless of party affiliation I am a fan. When she’s marching along with the ancient Democrats and being performative I can’t stand that shit.
I do not think she would do significantly better than Harris did. I think she would be an improvement, but idk if that’s gonna be enough.
But would the majority of American voters vote for her?
MCasq_qsaCJ_234AOC might be a better House speaker.
Baron Von JIf she doesn’t move to the Senate, yeah.
Of all the US presidents, only Obama, Harding, and FDR won the presidency from the Senate. I dont see that being in the Senate or not being in the Senate has any bearing at all beyond a bump for name recognition, and AOC doesnt need that bump. Especially so with the voters extremely low polling for approval of dems in congress.
I didn’t mean as a step towards POTUS. I think we need more people like her in Congressional leadership roles more than we need her as POTUS. Unless we’re talking about the next Roosevelt, I want a boring POTUS.
I’m with Jesus on this one. She has had a target on her back from day one and she has done nothing but shine. No controversies, level headed. I’m not religious myself, but i would not be surprised if she were an angel lol
Then who would you suggest, if not AOC?
Truthfully I don’t know if the Democrats have anyone that can win back the American people. Newsome is hated by half his own state and all the other states. Buttigieg maybe? Idk.
We really need another Obama or Bill Clinton. Someone charasmatic and well spoken. We just don’t have anyone young or charasmatic in that way that I can think of.
Only a shock to folks who still thing Democrat centerists are what’s gonna win the votes
AOC is a progressive. Harris was too, prior to her role as VP.
ORbituaryShe ran with Progressive planks, but she was a DA. She’s a cop. Cops aren’t progressive.
Yea harris is far from a progressive. She kept people in jail for bullshit marijuana charges.
And as we all know…
Repeat after me kids
All Cops Are Bastards
Attorneys aren’t cops. Can we stop with the right wing smear campaign?
District Attorneys work for cops and for the interest of the government. They’re worse than cops… They empower, protect, and exonerate cops.
This isn’t a right wing smear, it’s a reality check for libs still clutching their pearls over their shitty candidate.
And yet, the cops hated her…
Cops are not progressive, they protect the interests of the state, not it’s people
She ran on exactly the same thing as Biden and backtracked on everything progressive she said in previous campaigns.
“We want to maintain the status quo that led to the election of Trump twice!”
Lady Butterfly Exactly! It’s just… why?
Because no matter who is in office they’re still part of the enrichment scheme that is our government. They don’t really care who wins or loses because it doesn’t really affect them.
That’s why it’s important to be represented by the marginalized so that the decisions actually matter to the people making them.

I read it as “it’s a shock that she came in second” lol
I will vote for AOC with pride. But I’m leery about running another woman right now. Neither Hillary nor Kamala could win against Trump.
That said, I can’t think of anyone I’d be happier to vote for. I dream of her being President. I don’t know if swing states will have it, but I would fight to make it so.
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. There’s no statistical difference in the chances of victory between men and women when running for political office. Lots of Republican politicians are women. I don’t see it as a big deal.
Also, lots of open racists voted for Obama. If you look at the polling and the interviews, it was much more about running conservative Democrats trying to get the votes of people who wanted to shake things up. That’s what Obama promised, that’s why Sanders would’ve won, by some measures, and it seems AOC is out there generating the same buzz.

It’s only a deal because the democratic party is willing to hold back all women just to prevent the success of one progressive woman.
I’m a huge AOC supporter, but she should wait a 2 or 3 cycles (if there are any cycles anymore). I’d rather see her take Schumer’s senate seat, and serve there for a term or two first, and succeed Bernie as the Senate’s progressive leader.
Hillary and Kamala were awful candidates - they wouldn’t have won if they were men or if it were the first coming of Christ. (I’m skeptical he ever arrived at all). The DNC is the blame for their failure. Hillary was out of touch. Kamala had too many issues to list.
Maybe because Hillary and Kamala were terrible candidates? Are you kidding me?

…that we’re talking about a progressive women.
Exactly zero people who voted for trump last election will vote for a non-white woman.
Country is fucked.
Needs a little Asterisk* next to centrist and a footnote
*still way further left than any Republican
A Democratic centrist literally polled at #1. It’s in the headline.
Fucking morons never learn.
Oh they learn, the wrong lessons.
Boomer Humor DoomergodCory Booker talked all that time for nothing
AOC + Booker?
No way a Senator would run under a Representative.
Or it can be the other way around.
That’s be an interesting ticket. I would like to see AOC primary against Schumer though.
No way Americans would elect a rapist traitor felon.
That actually sounds totally normal for Americans
By the time a VP is being chosen, she wouldn’t be “a rep”, she’d be the Democratic nominee for president.
I’ll take it over the other folks on Capitol Hill that are doing absolutely nothing. People need to make noise.
It was impressive, and not only because fuck Strom Thurmond, but I figured he’d get kind of a bump from it.
I mean, Trumps polls are going down, more people are showing up to protest, more institutions are resisting.
Every act of public resistance emboldens more people to fight back. I’ll take it.
Cory is probably aiming for Schumer’s position.
MegaUltraChickenIf Harris was a leader she would be out there touring like AOC. Shes not a leader. She had her shot to prove otherwise and didn’t.
I mean, if I were her I’d feel drained and devastated. Everything that happened during the election and people still picked Trump over her…
Yeah. I have a lot of problems with Kamala The Cop. But she lost what might be the final election in American History. That takes a lot out of you
Not as much as it’s taking out of the rest of us, not even close.
I have a hard time feeling sorry for her after leaving the left hanging and going after conservative votes. She made an incredibly poor strategic choice and it cost all of us.
Obviously she’s not the only one to blame here, conservatives deserving the majority of blame followed by people that stayed home, but she doesn’t deserve pity.
