It’s worth watching the whole video, AOC is the type of politician that actually has a chance to have a party that represents the working class.
I hope the Democrats can figure out before the last minute that she’s a really viable candidate for President.
Most D’s are captured by most of the same corporations and oligarchs as the R’s. They will never allow a working class movement. Only corporate-removed lite.
If so, they are in for hard wake-up call. Most corporations/oligarchs are rapidly shifting their allegiance to Trump. Those sweet donations will stop flowing to Dems.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Dems are also shifting right: to capture back corporate donors, instead of listening to the wants and needs of their base.
Welcome to Democratic neoliberalism.
Yes I think that’s possible, but it’s a strategy that will surely fail. They cannot very well pass the GOP on the right, and they cannot out-Trump Trump. The 2024 election has shown that there were insufficient moderate voters. The upcoming cycle will teach the Dems that there are now also insufficient moderate donors.
Only chance to win is to go towards economic populism, and with Trumps billionaire cabinet it has never been easier.
The leadership doesn’t care, they’re already set.
My micropenis submarine has already banned AOC from X.com because I saved drowning underaged malaysian soccer players from the pedos in the so-called british special forces.
They know she’s popular enough to win a general election one day, just as they knew Bernie was. But the moderate crowd would rather lose with one of their own than win with a progressive
I mean AOC might become president, that isn’t gonna magically get progressive policies passed. You still need 218 US congressional districts to also elect progressives.
Edit: And also 50 sentors
Maybe. Republicans don’t have this issue though, it sorta remains to be seen for dems.
No she’s not. She is a women and Americans well not vote for a woman for president. Sorry it is the truth and they have to stop doing that.
Find me a woman who isn’t a center-right politician who has ever run. People didn’t vote for women because the women who ran are assholes
Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
Why the Democrat party doesn’t capitalize on that is proof the billionaires control everything
Saying “proof” is not enough here. Can you elaborate?
You’re asking for proof that billionaires control everything?
Oh yes, here comes the billionaire controlling what I write here:
Ni!
You’re asking for proof of billionaire political capture? How about superdelegates, or the billionaires on stage at the DNC, or the Democrats bending the knee to AIPAC by pushing out AOC?
A “young” 74 year old with throat cancer
She’s in a tough spot because she dislikes a lot of what the Democratic party is doing and also refuses to even meet with lobbyists let alone take their money. To a ton of everyday people these are very good things but to either of the parties this is an enemy to the party that doesn’t have the firepower to win an election. Of course, I would absolutely love to be wrong on this but history (especially recently) is not on her side.
In the 2020 primary Bernie and Warren were regularly leading in donations. And in 2016 and 2024 Trump won despite raising less money throughout most of the campaign. Big money is not the be all and end all of politics, and when people believe in a candidate large sums can be raised.
She’s is a fucking sheepdog, that’s all she is. Giving disenfranchised voters the illusion that if they stick around long enough, they too can have a seat at their table. She’s a snake in the grass that cannot be trusted.
Many citations needed. Or is all of that just your opinion provided without reasoning?
With this attitude you must trust absolutely 0 politicians i guess? Where do you go from there?
I’m with you. I mean I agree with their sentiment and I think AOC is the same as the rest. She is after all a part of the machine.
That said, it’s worth distinguishing the difference between trust and hope. I always hope.
Listen, they’re going to try to get that third term, but they’ll ultimately fail, and the only point of this presidency is to give Trump’s donors as much favour as he can, as the CIA collects dossiers on all of them so that Trump can retire as the new Epstein.
Worst part about it? They’re going to fuck shit up and republicans will fit DECADES claim he was one of the best presidents ever.
Alexa, remind me of this post in 10 years.
So much for getting rid of “the elite”
Joke’s on America, WE are the swamp.

What are you even talking about? Her net worth is -47k to 45k as of 2023. Her only income is her salary from Congress, she doesn’t even invest in stocks because she (rightly) sees it as insider trading for anyone in Congress to invest in stocks. She is one of the poorest members in Congress, trumpers just can’t comprehend someone not exploiting their position for personal gain so they make stuff up lol
I did a very simple search for you. This was one of the first results.
What are you talking about?
Sauce? I thought not.
Very true, but it’s not like Harris was signaling she was going to eliminate billionaires by seizing all of their wealth. So both parties are the same, right?
