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
2028 primary election polls?
I’m busy planning the Orlando Magic’s NBA title parade, while we’re worrying about realistic concerns.
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.
Primary for what position? What are they running for?
Aren’t they both already representatives?
Hypothetical race.
People have been pushing her to primary Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat which goes up for election in 2028
What does that mean and why is that different from her current role?
There are two seperate houses in congress, the house of reps, and the senate. Each state gets a number of reps proportional to its population. But they each get two senators no matter the size of the population. AOC is a rep in the house. Schumer is one of two senators for NY.
A primary election is an election within a party (in this case the democrats, of which they are both members). When he has to run for office again, she (or anyone) can challenge him as the Democratic candidate. If she were to win, then the only other way he could run would be under amother party (or without a party, called an independant).
Wouldn’t that leave her old seat empty, for Trump supporter to take?
I dont see why this would be a good change.
She is in a very blue district that loves her, if she vacates her seat it will almost certainly be filled with another blue candidate,and likely one that she personally endorses.
Good succinct explanation.
Further reading on this type of legislature.
She is currently in the house as a rep for her district. There are 435 members.
She’s campaigning for the senate to represent the state. There are 100 members, two from each state.
Then she can have the voice of 10 million people count for 1 vote. And a Senator from Montana can have the voice of ~5% of that count for the same 1 vote.
Sorry for sounding down about it, we need better senators, but we need to overhaul the way the Senate works
This is why we have both the house of reps and the senate. The house of reps means that states with a high population get adequate representation, and the senate means that states with lower populations can still have a say instead of having no chance of outvoting the high pop states
Yeah I think thr house and senate are good as they are for that reason. It’s the electoral college and gerrymandering districts that are the biggest election problems.
Gerrymandering is what Senators are for the most part. I’ll drawn lines not according to populous depicting who’s word means more than another. If they drew a map and said that Albany New York had a representative and New York City has a representative and their votes were worth the same for matters dealt within the state of New York people would find it deeply unfair. The voice of the many is meant to outweigh the voice of the few in a democratic form of government. That doesn’t mean that New York wouldn’t vote to support rural areas as the people know you don’t grow agriculture in cities. To keep food plentiful and cheap, they would vote to ensure the rural areas have what they need as well. If they don’t have enough, they would start to move away and hurt the population. If they have a lot, more people would move from the cities to the rural areas yearning for the same, which would decrease with increased farmers and eventually balance out. Note, people who live in cities are more likely to vote left of those who live in rural areas. Yet those who live in cities are the ones voting for candidates who bring up issues like the bees dying out. They believe in supporting the bees not because they actually care about the species, but because they know their deaths would cause struggles for rural areas and drive food prices up and cause scarcity. This isnt all black and white of course, but you get my drift. People aren’t pushing for healthcare for city dwellers only, they are pushing for healthcare for all. When 500,000 people 10,000,000 peoples voices, it is not in the best interest of the people.
Lmao we’re all going to be in mass graves by 2028
That is some good news!
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.
The country will be long gone by then
At least things will be different. This is a circle jerky post for the “go aoc” SoMe activists
Someone should tell the Boomers that it’s time for them to get out of politics and let the younger ones replace them.
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.
No, she’d just stay in her Congressional seat.
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?
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.
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.
People are turning against Chuck “my job is to keep the left pro-Israel” Schumer? Say it ain’t so!
I’ll be glad to see the back of Corporate DINO Schumer. Though after being booted, he’ll probably regularly show up on Fox News as a token Democrat to criticize anything the government does that helps the people more than the billionaires and corporations.
