yes
It’s a very low bar, and yet she is one of the few politicians who can clear it.
The right is so incompetent, destructive, and dangerous that anything on the other side seems reasonable. But the democrats need to remember that part of the DSA (which AOC is a member of) playbook is open borders and public control of large corporations. The majority of Americans are absolutely not going to go for that. Maybe the democrats will take back the House and/or the Senate in the midterms as a response to the shit show happening now, but they have to come up with something else if they plan on having a Democrat as president in 2028. The democrats are as equally incompetent as the republicans so I don’t have much hope.
People will post questions like this and ignore how many politicians are straight up corrupt from any country you can think of
There is a saying in my country, one eyed man is the king amongst the blind.
The US Congress certainly has gone that far.
If you do it yourself that’s called thinking for yourself and having an opinion and you know how that goes these days 🙄
AOC is not the only one who speaks common sense and calls out absurdity; she’s one of the very short list that does it, no matter who’s watching. She appears not to be owned by AIPAC and other ventures. It’s also why they’ll keep her out at all costs.
Imagine the most average intelligence person around.
Now recognise the fact most yanks are far below that
No, the problem is that the dumb fucks have hugely outsized representation in elections due to a corrupt, broken system.
She’s a big deal because fox news made her one. She’s the new target after Hillary stepped out of politics.
Young, female, Latina, everything MAGA hates.
Don’t forget she was a bartender in college, which they hate.
Meanwhile boebert was very literally an escort, which is how she got into politics. Yet nobody cares
Don’t forget smart and assertive
Chalking it up to racism etc. doesn’t give her the credit she deserves - typical superficial social media thinking.
If you think that avenge MAGA thinking rises above this then you haven’t been paying attention.
If you only define AOC in MAGA’s terms then neither have you. How MAGA leaders think vs how they convince their flock to think are distinctly different.
Most of the other Congresspersons are too beholden to the donor class to speak up for the rest of us.
Republicans are in an echo chamber and fixated on like 3 incorrect things she’s said
They’re terrible, stupid people
Time to stop falling for tokens and politicians. They lie. Stop falling for it. No strongman (or woman) to save us. Every little bit of do-ocracy helps ease and inspire more do-ocracy clawed back from the purple party and its two punch tactic to keep us down.
This country will never, ever vote a woman in as President. The “What I see as a leader” (sexism) runs too deep.
They said the same thing about a black man being president. We are obviously not ready yet but we will get there.
I think they did a study in Australia about this. People who voted for a minority candidate were less likely to vote for one in the future because voting for that minority candidate was there “get out of jail free” card for any future racist voting patterns.
Obama was a once-in-a-lifetime candidate and also almost engineered in a lab to make white people comfortable.
Likely the first woman president we have will be conservative --someone who woman might vote for because she is a woman, but also someone who men might vote for because she advocates patriarchy… example: Margaret Thatcher. Though, to be honest, the current crop of Christian Nationalist wouldn’t allow it, I don’t think…
Quite frankly, Democrats just aren’t going to rally behind a candidate the way Republicans do. Republicans can promise much less and still expect a decent turnout.
The first female president will be a Republican, a nightmarish ghoul, and the source of a significant amount of right wing deflection. Everything liberal women are saying now, justifiably, will be twisted in to an evil, disingenuous retort. And that will only be a distraction from the nightmare president this woman is going to be.
The first female president will have no way to climb the ladder without being horrifyingly competent. Savvy enough to know when to look like an idiot without ever being one. Manipulative enough to not only work a crowd but work a room of powerful people.
Men can get by knowing the right people and being charming. Women have to know the right people, be charming, and absolutely crush any opposition to their ascent.
Have you been watching any political discourse? Literally no one off the Epstein list has been arrested.
