She’s the best candidate on that list by far, and she’s got what it takes to do the job. I don’t think she can win the 2028 election given what’s going on right now, though. We’ve gotta do some stuff to clear the way for her to run later I think. A real winner candidate isn’t on this list. And that’s fine, we’ve got awhile yet.
I don’t think she can win YET. But as I said, it’s early and that may change. She’s my pick, certainly of people who are known to be in politics right now. If not now, later. That woman is going to become president. And America will be better off for it.
AOC is 36. The last 23 presidents were all at least 42 (and that was Theodore Roosevelt: 1901-1909). I don’t see her winning, due to her being as young as she is. Maybe next run or the one after that.
She’s young enough to become hud or secretary of something, then be vp for 8 years then be prez for 8 years and still be under 65 leaving office. There’s no hurry.
The only options for candidates aren’t on this poll. This is a dumbass poll to begin with, listing harris at all. As if these were our choices. None of these people can reliably win with the republicans cheating as they are.
I have many criticisms of AOC but if we’re talking about electoral politics I literally can’t point to anyone with a known name that could be better on policy and actually win.
I would love other names though if you have suggestions.
Running mate for someone who can. But I don’t think that person is on that list. Someone else suggested Kelly or Pritzker as middle of the road people with wider appeal who might be able to pull it off. I think it’s too early to pick a candidate.
AOC is literally the only person on that list that even has a shot of winning in the general. Half those people are genocide supporters. If you think AOC has no shot at winning then you haven’t been paying attention to the massive left shift happening in this country.
That shift isn’t even mainly happening among the loyal Democrat voters either. It’s happening among independent and non cult Republican voters.
Woke 2.0 is spreading. The main opposition to leftist momentum in this country is literally the Democratic party. If it runs anyone to the right of AOC it will lose to the couch again.
What are the chances of the right having a scism and spoiling their own ballot (split MAGA and GOP)? If that were to look likely that would be the best time to have an independent progressive run. Would spoil the dems ballot too, but so long as we are stuck in the cycle of “I dont care who wins, so long as they lose” system, I dont see any way to break out of the two-party gridlock.
The bad news is that too many Democratic voters aren’t paying enough attention to that part.
So we have to be loud and consistent in educating those around us. Comments online but even more important, inform people in person.
We are up against the Republicans, Israel, and corp Dems. They will do anything they can to stay in power.
But we’ve beaten them before and we can do it again. But it’s going to require a lot of effort and persistence on us who have critical thinking. Point out the blue maga when you see them. And inform people why. Aipac and pac donations is the most obvious one. But if you know of bills they supported you can throw some of those facts out too.
Provide easy concrete examples.
There is a human bias where when examples are simple and easy to recall, we actually give them more weight.
Work with that. Don’t bring up complex examples. Reduce them to simple ones if needed.
They don’t like her. They wouldnt support mamdani.
Didn’t stop Mamdani. Wont stop us. Just need to understand youre not running one of their campaigns. We can’t use their approaches and shouldn’t evaluate ourselves by their metrics.
AOC is the only viable option.

I think she can win. People said the same about Obama.
She’s already known. And that’s a big deal.
I’m in Illinois and all my friends know who she is.
Her association with Bernie is a big selling point for a lot of people.
I think she can win. I think she can get people passionate like Obama did. And she’s good on TV.

Wish she would be more popular than she is.

After the last two doddering geriatrics I wouldn’t be surprised if the pendulum swings in the opposite direction.

Shes a party sheepdog
I have many criticisms of AOC but if we’re talking about electoral politics I literally can’t point to anyone with a known name that could be better on policy and actually win.

Which party?
The corp Dems don’t like her. Which should tell you she is actually doing right.
Their controlled opposition is internal too.
AOC ain’t winning. It would be nice though.

And has been since 2008. Democrats don’t want to win if that means stepping left.
Obama would have moved to the left if he gained seats in the first midterm.
This is pure hopium.

We need to get rid of the corrupt Dems. AOC is the right choice to help do that.
They didn’t support Mamdani, until he won anyway. Then they ALL showed up at his inauguration, and acted like they were behind him all along.
I’m pretty sure the corp Dems still do not support mamdani
And yet they all showed up on HIS Inauguration Day to bask in HIS reflected glow. Politicians are all the same at their core.
Well good thing is we know who the blue maga is.
