      Eh. I’ll be there when AOC’s on the ballot.

      edit: FFS, y’all are trigger-happy. I’m voting like my life depends on it — because it very likely will, and anyone who thinks otherwise is selling you something. I’m forced to vote for anyone who won’t immediately deport/murder/imprison me or my community. I’ll BE THERE when AOC is on the ballot. Fucking simmer, people.

        mentioning your altogether disregard for the current election is actually not useful : )

        I too would love to vote for AOC, which is precisely why her endorsement matters to me.

        I trust her judgment enough to want to elect her, so I also trust her judgment that the best path forward right now is to support Harris.

        You forgot the “eh” in your edit. That indicates apathy and disdain for the current fight against fascism and Project 2025. Obviously you can do whatever you want, but that’s the reason for the downvotes.

    I still feel their strong support for Biden to stay in was a red herring to confuse Republicans. Also nothing good would come from the progressive coalition calling for Biden to step down. It was a wise move.

      I think they were arguing for stability (and against people arguing for AOC to jump in the ring), more than anything. Now there’s a clear path forward.

        Harris should name AOC, Omar, or Bernie VP. With the name recognition of any of those three, and AOC’s social media savvy, they should be able to crush Trump come November.

      Nah. VP pick is part of the “min” in a min-maxing strategy. Harris will pick a walking mayo and white bread sandwich with a penis between the legs.

        I think you’re half correct. It’s going to be Buttigieg. Not your average mayo and white bread guy but a mayo and white bread guy. It would make for a strong ticket with a lot of appeal. With the bonus of not having a contestable senate seat or governorship because he’s currently a US secretary.
