      She doesn’t agree with me on everything up to and including mustard preference, so she’s not capable of doing anything good ever. That’s also why Vance isn’t too far right to vote for btw. I won’t elaborate.

      She’s in New York and if you look at the USA then you’ll notice that it is the biggest city on the RIGHT of the USA.

      Check. MATE.

      Ain’t that the truth. Just had an argument the other with someone who said that unless she was left of Bernie there was no point in voting for her, and I’m like don’t let perfect be the enemy of good, and my god you think I told them their mother was a whore. Finally realized what they were though and stopped responding then blocked.

      I’m still baffled at how many leftists fell for Jimmy “let’s make friend with Nazis” Dore’s bullshit “force the M4A vote” grift.

      I still see these dumb bastards screaming bloody murder acting like she’s MAGA because she didn’t fall for that moronic campaign.

      I have no problem with it, if this happens because a good part of Congress is more left leaning than AOC.

    This is all performative. I think AOC has already been promised Chuck’s seat without a primary challenger in 2028, and she’s gonna take it.

    She knows that if she ran for President in 2028, she would’t stand a chance, because she lacks a key thing that Gavin has – a penis. Look at the last few elections, and you will see that whenever the Democrats ran someone with that key asset for President, they won! The last penis-haver who lost was John Kerry, and he had his own issues.

    No, all of America isn’t a misogynist hellhole. But there are enough people out there who will come up with any excuse to not vote for a woman to make a difference. (My favorite from the last election was the guy who didn’t vote for Harris because she reminded him too much of his ex-wife.)

    AOC will run for Senate and win, and serve there for a term or three. Maybe by then, we’ll be ready for a female President.

      Would love to see the dems have the guts to put her in the VP position at some point.

        Sure, but she appears to be an effective enough politician that making her VP is a bit of a waste. All the VP does is settle fights in the Senate and wait for the President to die.

          Americans are currently still too misogynist to elect a female president. I’m sure she would do a great job, but it’s safer to slot her into the VP slot for now.

            Safest to have her take Chuck’s Senate seat. But I am acting a bit selfish here: as a New York State resident, I don’t want to give her up yet.

      Two years of Schummer’s seat and she can run for President. Just like how Obama did.

      I just don’t understand why she is against Hakeem Jeffries being primaried.

    She should just take schumers senate seat. Its more valuable to have another leftist vote in the senate chamber than it is to have one in the hot seat.

    Reminds me of this futurama clip with all the bickering we’ll have about how she’s not left enough or she’s the same as the couch fucker.

    AOC is the candidate I’ll vote for unless we get someone better. But will she have the guts to do the very same things Trump is doing, But for good?

    <sigh> I wish we had ranked choice voting…

      It is not that I don’t want her in the White House. It’s that I know in the current electoral college, she is unelectable.

      Principles, morals, and virtue are great. You have to fucking win to govern.

      Jeff Jackson is a much better choice IMO as about the furthest left young actually electable official you can tap in 3 years.

    Fearmongering and badmouthing have made Ocasio-Cortez a bit of a… Let’s just say, there are a lot of Democrats who won’t vote for her.

    I would. Absolutely. But we need a safe bet, one that will appeal to everyone who ain’t a fucking MAGAt moron.
