    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.

      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.
