During a debate, AOC would smash any Government of Putin candidate. The problem lies with the Democratic Party.

People in america still believe there is going to be an actual election in 2028?

NGL I'll take any blue tie but we've already shown twice that Americans might actually prefer fascism over a woman in charge.

If the BIG Bill of Garbage passes, there are no more free elections.

God, americans are so naive. There won't be fair elections anymore. You had your chance and you blew it! It's over for your democracy.

She should absolutely run. I don't know if she should win the nomination, but running brings a voice to the wing of the party she represents.

Primaries are about coalition building. And to have your ideas represented by the eventual candidate you need a champion to promote them in the process.

HELL YEAH THIS COUNTRY NEEDS AOC

The democrat leadership did everything in their power to stop bernie in 2020 they will do the same against AOC

I love AOC, but she will lose.

The American people have shown that they would rather have a convicted felon, rapist, fascist pedophile than a highly qualified woman.

It's stupid, but it's reality.

A woman candidate is a non starter.

"After Zohran Mamdani's win, Trump reveals how scared he is to face Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez"

Yeah, because she would be running against Trump... That's a really silly take.

My right-wing friend finds AOC hot so he might actually vote for her if she runs.

you guys need ranked choice. I'd bet on most red voters not ranking multiple and just putting their evil fucker pick as #1. then you need more than one non evil candidate.

No way AOC is getting anywhere near the Presidency unless there is a full scale revolution. Sad, but true.

She should definitely run but also let the people choose from a valid primary.

All the fucking second-order sexists here saying we can't elect a woman because two of the worst female candidates ever lost.

These are the same people who said Obama couldn't win because he was black. Not that they were racist, no they love black people, but they just want to make absolutely extra sure we don't actually try to elect one. Because they imagine their neighbor/uncle/coworker would look at everything going on and think "none of that is important, no black presidents". They're not racist, they just advocate for racism. And with this most facile of analyses they'll believe themselves to be politically savvy realists rather than reactionary children.

This is the cowardice that dooms liberalism. At every opportunity they want to worry about what their opponents will like and time after time will try to blame strategy or immutable characteristics for the failures of their do-nothing policies. Politics is about change. When people's lives suck you don't try to tell them we'll keep doing the same things. And whether the person talking change is a charismatic black man or a clown show, or even... A FEEEMALE, they'll vote for them.

As a non-American, electing AOC as president would be the way to speed run the repair of America's reputation internationally.

She should run for the senate seat when chuck leaves office after he finally comes to his senses.

This DNC won't help any specific candidate in a primary, but they won't work against a specific candidate either.

That's all progressives and specifically AOC need, a fair primary.

We're on a huge inflection point, if we let some shirt bird neoliberals like Cuomo or Newsom win the primary, then they get to name the next DNC chair if they win the election

And we'll be right back where we were in 2020.

We can not afford to roll the dice on neoliberalism again, and AOC has the best shot right now. But a lot can change before the primary starts.
