Can we please have fucking midterms before we start this shit?
Adventurous-Ant-5755 on
If she is the Democratic nominee Democrats will lose.
The country just isn’t ready for it, and there are way too many people who will NEVER vote for her.
Go ahead and make her the nominee if you want to lose the country for good, because this is the last chance to save it, assuming it can still be salvaged.
Now is not the time to be taking unnecessary chances! It shouldn’t be that way, but that’s how it is!!!

AOC for Schumer’s Senate seat
ClaroStar on
I want her to at least run. If not, I hope she goes for Schumer’s Senate seat.
DancingWithAWhiteHat on
No I want her in the senate
z3rba on
I really like AOC, but I think she would be more effective in the Senate.
Plus the right has been working on demonizing her like they did Hillary, and there are a lot of people who won’t vote for her because of that nonsense. I think she would be a good president, but I don’t know if she could win at this point.

I’m all for her running, but not for her becoming the candidate for 2028. Let her positions push Democrats to the left in the same way Bernie did, by spotlighting policies that the people actually want but the establishment refuses to embrace.
After Clinton and Harris both lost to the worst candidate in modern history, it’s clear that the US just isn’t ready to elect a woman, sadly.
Myrtle_Nut on
We should all be in favor of AOC putting her name in the ring with all other viable candidates. A healthy and robust primary process is necessary. Let’s see who emerges from this process before we advocating which lane a person should keep themselves bound to.

People seem to forget Chuck Schumer is 9 years younger than Bernie Sanders; a man he serves with in the Senate.
He may not retire.
And if Schumer doesn’t retire, then yes, AOC should run for President. Even if he does, I get why she would might want to run. If a Democrat (likely) wins the Presidency, and were to become a two-term President, the worst case scenario for her career (not the country) is that she might not have another clear opportunity until 2036 against an incumbent Democratic Vice President with the establishment clearly behind them.
So yes, the prudent move is to get her name into the mix, get polling, get people talking, and then wait for Schumer’s decision. If he decides to run again, she should run for the Presidency.
YaboiTonyC on
NY is not short on great progressives who can take on Schumer. Let her run. If she loses, big deal, she’s young. She’ll have another shot at taking on NY’s other equally garbage senator in 2030, and she’d body her just as bad as she’d body Schumer.

Don’t do it. Run against Schumer for Senate.

All this nonsense about the U.S. not being ready for a female President.
For god’s sake people. Thatcher became PM of Britain in 1979, and almost 50 years later the U.S. still can’t seem to get over that hump?

If AOC is the dem nominee we will be inaugurating a Republican in 2028. Reddit *loves* her. Mr. and Mrs. America, not even close. She will scare the shit out of them.

It worked so well the last time.

As much as I think she is one of the few respectable politicians and as much as I would love to vote for her I think it would be 2016/24 all over again. The men (and many women) in our country just fucking suck.

I’ll take AOC as the nominee, but I really think people should be rallying behind Ro Khanna. He has the perfect rhetoric to meet the moment and the progressive policies to get us out of this mess. He’s also fresh off of doing everything he can to get the Epstein files out there which is largely a bipartisan win.

Would rather see her in democratic leadership position instead, I think she can do more there. I have no confidence a woman can win despite being more qualified, better human ect than Pedo-POTUS.
boyyouvedoneitnow on
Political theory here:
– AOC running doesn’t cost you a house seat
– AOC running for president instead of the senate doesn’t cost you a senate seat
– Having six years of experience in the senate won’t make America see her as less of a woman (exhibit HRC) or less of a progressive (exhibit Bernie)
If this is the peak of your name ID and you’re in a D+10 environment why not send it and let the primary sort it out?
Ok-disaster2022 on
I Like AOC and she needs to be running for NY Senate, not POTUS. If she can get senate she can run POTUS later.
Democrats do not need to be putting someone from a stronghold state up against fascists in 2028. The need someone from a flyover state in the Midwest or South.
redboy33 on
Please don’t. There are Independents and even registered Democrats who are never going to vote for a woman. I think she’s a good vp candidate but the bigotry in America isn’t ready to elect a female president. I’d love it, but I’ve seen what happened the previous 2 times the dems backed a woman. It sucks but it’s the truth. Men are fucking fragile little bitches when it comes to voting for a woman. So again, please don’t.

This country has proven they won’t vote for a woman, especially one the right has vilified so much (it’s all bullshit but it’s sunk into Faux News viewers’ heads)
Let’s get someone who will actually get elected and, most importantly, will go after the corrupt fucks and undo the damage they’ve done.
Ghostdefender1701 on
If she runs great, but if she does not get the nomination, DO NOT pull another Bernie, because you’re butthurt, and not vote. Democracy can’t afford that again.
SadTumbleweed1567 on
Please no. Find the most milquetoast straight white Christian dude you can. Don’t say the words “hate speech” or “gun control.” You can be economic social democrats, given that Republicans have abandoned liberalism, but for the love of God be political liberals. Free speech, free press, free assembly, free religion etc.
Stop with glass ceilings. The Republic itself is at stake.

I feel like if a Democrat wins next, they’ll be blamed for everything they inherit like never before and it will just make the Republicans stronger. Nobody ever wins the presidency. The person that wins just lost the least. I haven’t seen any candidate so far that is strong enough to deliver anything yet. Priorities would be to restructure the checks and balances system above party rhetoric since this administration shows how it’s almost non-existant.

For anyone who dares say she has “no experience”: Presidents 45 and 47 was a reality TV “star” who had never held public office in his so-called life.

Don’t think The United States of Handmaids Tale would elect a female president. Even after Trump 2.0. A male democrat can win sure, but I think it’s too early still for a woman sadly. Would probably just lead to another Trumpist continuing the dystopian MAGA reign.

Couple things.
She is a woman. Women consistently come out -10 with *all* men, including on the Dem side. Unfair, yes. But we really do need to win this.
She is a progressive. That didn’t work at all last time, and it sure as shit won’t work if you swap the old white guy out with the younger woman. Again, unfair, yep. But we really do need to win this.
Identity politics preferences need to take a backseat this time, and progressives really need to ask themselves: do I want someone that’s on record saying abolish the police, or do I want Trump 2.0?
