The next AOC? Young Democrats are aiming to topple incumbents inside their own party - lemm.ee

Elijah Manley was still a teenager when his frustration with President Trump pushed him to get involved in politics. Today, he’s finally old enough to run for Congress. Upset with how his own Democratic Party is responding to Trump, he’s decided to do just that.

Good! That party needs a major shake up. Oh. And some damn balls(metaphorically speaking)
No, we need literal balls. The last two women to run both failed. Now isn’t the time to risk it all just to check in a box. Call me a troll or whatever but when the DNC forces Harris 2028 and she loses don’t come crying back to me.
The DNC sucks and all, but they aren’t a cult and don’t run people who lost again.
They do run people who lost the primary though
If they got picked as VP, true!
Except VP isn’t a position that is elected, so its pointless to pick them for president.
It is elected, but as a package deal. If they’re popular it’s not a bad idea to choose them as a nominee, but…yeah, Harris was not.
Its not elected, no one votes for VP. In the olden days, sure, but if the VP is elected than so is any family members of the president, making the trump kids political appointments the explicit will of the people, and no one wants that to be true.
The ballot has the President and Vice President on it. You do indeed vote for VP, but as I said, as a package deal. None of Trump’s kids were on the ballot.
This conversation hurts my head… Yes you vote for the vp (it’s on the damn ballot) but I’d wager most tie their vote to the actual president.
Of course they do. But saying it’s not an elected position is incorrect.
