She 100% has my vote.

I'll vote for AOC in 2028.

I'm doing it because I believe in her and her policies for improving the material conditions of the working class in USA.

If you can't bring yourself to vote for her, consider voting AGAINST all of the other stuck up asshats in Congress who think they deserve to have political power.

In 2016, Bernie was looking great...until the DNC happened, he sported a black eye, and then endorsed Hillary for some unknown reason. The establishment Dems are just as corrupt as the Repubs. The only hope for America is in the new blood...because the milk's gone bad.

Trump didn't win in 2016...Hillary (and DWS) LOST.

The old guard has helped republicans turn this country into a facist shit hole.

AOC should take the House Speaker from Jeffries. It's where she's needed most.

I really don't want her to run for president yet. I'd rather see her replace schumer first. She is my congresswoman too and am very happy with her. I just fear she might not win presidency yet. Our district is very left wing, so I need to know she can win in a place like New York State that is kind of a microcosm of the whole country

AOC as presidential candidate would prove some interesting things about the voting populus, but it would also bring some interesting things to light about the current state of the power the wealthy hold.

The old DNC could try hard to oppose her. But there isn't a single Democrat with name recognition on her level.

They can't argue against her policy stance in a way that people would support a competitor.

They could argue against her age and experience, but I think the voting populace doesn't give a fuck about that anymore. They could result to other personal attacks like her being Puerto Rican, or a woman.

The GOP would result to scare tactics that, apparently, have finally lost their edge.

What I'm curious about isn't the stuff we see in the news. Trump and the oligarchs would stop at nothing to prevent her victory. The ultra rich never had nearly as much wealth and power as they do now, and a lot of people conveniently died as they became too popular.

I remember Pelosi especially was vicious. AOC didn't get brave again for a year + after that shit. Great point about Angie, she would have won with minimal support. We need to form a 3rd party, enough is enough.

Her honesty and directness are so refreshing. I wish I could be more like her, just a totally good pure person. It also seems like she genuinely tries hard, like her success is not without extreme effort.

I will vote for her in the primary and happily the general election if she wins the primary. I certainly hope she does.

In a previous post about AOC candidacy, I said that won't happen because :

• woman
• woman of color
• US is a deeply racist country
• she's a woman of color

Some people told that I'm a doomer. I stand by what I said.

A 100 minute video from AOC? I'd love to watch it, why would she only post it to Instagram? Are there any mirrors out there?

I remember her speaking about this quite candidly not too long ago (I want to say last year or two but time flies these days) about going into a side room off the House chamber and seeing herself giving an interview on a major outlet, and a fellow Democrat -- knowing she was there -- just shaking his head at the TV.

That cruelty exemplifies what is wrong with the party, and precisely why the likes of Schumer and Jeffries must go.

She needs to overhaul the party. I kind of lean toward her primarying Schumer, but I am amicable to a 2028 run. Whichever she decides, I'm with her.

If she doesn't, the best compromise I can see that can viably win is probably Ossoff, which given what he said here I think is generally the right message to carry forward.

Edit: I do think it's worth pointing out that she of course wouldn't even be viable under the Republican ticket. That like Sanders, she chooses to caucus with Democrats for good reason. Perfect? No. Better? Undeniably so. On every single issue, frankly.

That said, the 2028 Democratic Primaries are officially on, and it's time to make Democrats a little more perfect.

'...Anyway, that's why I'm excited to give Hakeem Jefferies my full and unconditioned support.'

"PrOgResSiVe AcTiViStS"

You mean to say the people who are trying to keep democracy from falling? Or the ones who are trying to keep a roof over their head and food on the table?

Stfu already.

The push is not over, there will still be a huge necessity to vote in 2028. We cannot let our guard down, and always remember the momentum we brought into this midterm, anything is possible.

You're a tough woman! Fight back.

Thats unfortunately not even a little surprising
