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.
President Liz Cheney (D) because it’s her time.
But AOC can't run because Americans are too sexist.
With vp Hillary
Promote AOC to senate!
Trump already told U.S citizens that they won't be voting anymore after his election.
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.
She speaks reality. People in control deal with very controlled messaging. They don’t like people they can’t control.
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.
Useful idiots keep shouting "she's too young" while voting for dinosaurs.
Really puts into perspective how 'smart' the average voter is.
Citizens United was such a misstep, because most people can't think for themselves and their votes can be bought by convincing them that voting for X will make them look good in front of their peers.
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".
I really hope she runs for NY Senator. We need both Schumer and Gillibrand to go.
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
AOC 2028
AOC Now!
