Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

This is all performative. I think AOC has already been promised Chuck's seat without a primary challenger in 2028, and she's gonna take it.
She knows that if she ran for President in 2028, she would't stand a chance, because she lacks a key thing that Gavin has -- a penis. Look at the last few elections, and you will see that whenever the Democrats ran someone with that key asset for President, they won! The last penis-haver who lost was John Kerry, and he had his own issues.
No, all of America isn't a misogynist hellhole. But there are enough people out there who will come up with any excuse to not vote for a woman to make a difference. (My favorite from the last election was the guy who didn't vote for Harris because she reminded him too much of his ex-wife.)
AOC will run for Senate and win, and serve there for a term or three. Maybe by then, we'll be ready for a female President.
Would love to see the dems have the guts to put her in the VP position at some point.
Sure, but she appears to be an effective enough politician that making her VP is a bit of a waste. All the VP does is settle fights in the Senate and wait for the President to die.
Americans are currently still too misogynist to elect a female president. I’m sure she would do a great job, but it’s safer to slot her into the VP slot for now.
Safest to have her take Chuck's Senate seat. But I am acting a bit selfish here: as a New York State resident, I don't want to give her up yet.
Two years of Schummer's seat and she can run for President. Just like how Obama did.
I just don't understand why she is against Hakeem Jeffries being primaried.
