Lmao we're all going to be in mass graves by 2028
Someone should tell the Boomers that it's time for them to get out of politics and let the younger ones replace them.
Ugh, 2028? So, we have to wait 4 years?
AOC has it all. She's progressive, well educated, from a humble background, intelligent and good looking. I am rooting for her but I don't expect the Democratic Party to have a fair primary for that Senate seat.
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.
People are turning against Chuck "my job is to keep the left pro-Israel" Schumer? Say it ain't so!
Schumer has already started cozying up to the most important election lobby.
Israel.
Activate AIPAC
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.
Any poll three years out is worthless bullshit.
I remember a time when the United States actually took a break from reporting on elections instead of manufacturing hype for four solid years between major elections.
The current political media landscape is exhausting, and I'm so sorry to everyone who is young enough to think that constant election projections are "normal."
Multiple 24hr all-news channels + produced as an entertainment & engagement product + people thinking that what smart informed people do is watch the news channel all the damned time. It all adds up to this crap we have today.

Plenty of time for her "own side" to stab her in the back.

Trump already told U.S citizens that they won't be voting anymore after his election.
Don't think I can support anyone running against AOC. She's the best candidate by a country mile.
It's not even that she's so spectacular, it's just the other options are horrendously shit.
Gearing up for the tsunamis of useful idiots though telling me why we need a moderate candidate just like hillary and kamala.
why we need a moderate candidate just like hillary and kamala.
Screw the "don't rock the boat" candidates... unless they're the only option compared to the "let's destroy America!" candidate on the other side.
Not rocking the boat is better than setting the country on fire for no goddamn reason (if the system were burning down with a reasonable expectation we could make it better that'd be arguably different). I'm sure there are plenty that feel smugly superior for having "protested" by not voting, and I trust you don't mind the whole "country's on fire" thing going on (insert "this is fine" meme).
It's a two-pronged strategy.
The lesser-evil candidates piggyback on the greater-evil ones by saying "Hey, at least we're not as bad as that guy!"
It's super effective against useful idiots.

Not American but from my point of view it looks like you need her more than anything. Her, and preferably many more just like her. Normal intelligent people from all walks of life. Decent human beings.
This is also why I've never had an issue with Elizabeth Warren, not that I want to be shilling for her here. I would've loved to see her get a real chance at the presidency though. While she might be relatively wealthy now she also came from a comparatively normal background, and she seems to remember living it, too (I obviously don't have her voting records in front of my face, but I've read almost everything she's ever written).
Got called a misogynist at Reddit back then for daring to suggest she might be a good candidate, because apparently that's what you are if you think she might have a better temperament than trump..
I digress, though. AOC is awesome.

Good. I'll never forgive that simpering, cowardly, weak, spineless bitch for stabbing Al Franken in the back. He should quit while has a chance to do it without looking too bad, but if he won't, she should run him out in embarrassing and humiliating fashion.
AOC got into Congress by beating the #4 Democratic Congressional leader in the primary, now she's poised to beat the top Senate Democrat in the primary. She's an actual giant killer. All other Democrats should take note - it's not her politics that people are responding to, it's her strength. We need people who aren't afraid to stand up to the Nazis, and she is fearless.
It is her politics and her strength, and Also her transparency and her target demographic. She represents the people - not the big corporations, even the corporations that favor Democrats. She's here for the 99%, and to help her people, she is willing to take from the top 1% that never should have the money they possess.

Primary for what position? What are they running for?
Aren't they both already representatives?
People have been pushing her to primary Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat which goes up for election in 2028
