Cool… AOC is leading in the polls about an imaginary election taking place more than 3 years from now. Meanwhile yesterday I spent $116 on groceries and didn’t even need help carrying them up the stairs.
$116 of groceries that you can carry up the stairs‽ So like, a few bananas, an avocado, and some stale bread (no toasting required)? Quit bitching, you’re spending wayyy over your means, obviously! Lemme guess, you occasionally enjoy cheese as well. Have you tried $116 worth of beans instead?.. I bet not, you bougie peasant
Importing that avocado is the real problem, should have picked up a Florida orange and a Georgia peach instead.
In all seriousness the cartels did pivot to avocados in Mexico.
Carry on AOC, perhaps she will lead the normal Americans out of the fucking orange nightmare.
2028 primary election polls?
I’m busy planning the Orlando Magic’s NBA title parade, while we’re worrying about realistic concerns.
Come 2028 and the Dems are going to try running with Hillary again.
It’s just a Senate seat she’d be running for… unfortunately
My hope is that more “quiet Democrats” get primary’d. Usually they would say “don’t primary me, you’ll risk losing us to the Republican candidate in the general and we have a moderate agenda that’s the lesser evil”.
Right now they don’t have an agenda at all, no rudder, no direction. This is the time to primary tf out of the old Dems.
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, but to US voters, 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 significantly further right wing than the electorate they’re supposed to accurately represent and have been for decades.
What 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, it could be the end of her political career.
If she loses, it will mean the party has been dead a while.
If she loses, the country is cooked. We might be cooked anyway, but like, double cooked. Refried.
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.
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.
Hopefully she becomes a leader of the Democratic Party
AOC 2028
AOC Now!
The ONLY thing I’m learning from these Polls is that we need to go FURTHER RIGHT and Bring Back HARRIS!
-The DNC!
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.
The only way to unite this country is to launch Manchin for president.
- DNC
hes only going to be “independant” he already is going to lose his seat to a magat.
President Liz Cheney (D) because it’s her time.
But AOC can’t run because Americans are too sexist.
With vp Hillary
I really hope she runs for NY Senator. We need both Schumer and Gillibrand to go.
she better research if schumers districts only vote for someone like him over her, because if they do, she isnt likely to win regardless.
It’s a statewide race.
Try lowering your glasses even further Chuck!
Lol 😂
He’d have to have his nose surgically elongated first 😄
Nah, he can just tell a few more lies.
Ugh, 2028? So, we have to wait 4 years?
It’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.
Senators 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.
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.
