    I’d vote for AOC over Kamala, 100%.

    I mean, I still voted for Kamala, but I wasn’t excited about it.

    Welcome to American politics, when the 2028 election begins in 2024 and the 2028 primary began in 2020.

    I’m so tired.

    If you think in terms of “lanes” AOC is the only left wing potential candidate on there, 21% support is actually not persuasive in her odds to actually be the candidate.

    I feel very good about her chances to run the Bernie playbook and end with a top 3 amount of delegates but in an actual primary the lanes would clear up as people drop out and it is hard to see her consolidating support from like, Gavin Newsome.

    1. Stop with this shit. It’s 2025. This is stupid.

    2. Women can’t be president in America. We have a shitty culture that prevents that from happening. We keep trying, we keep failing. If you want to win, find another candidate with a dick. That’s a requirement in America. Not saying I like it. Just saying that’s reality.

    Second place to Harris??? Holy fuck we deserve our fate.

    Edit: upon reading the article (I know…) AOC has the best net favorability. So a little more hopium there.

    We’re 2.5-3 years away from the primary race even starting, and 3+ years away from the convention. This poll means absolutely nothing at this point.

    The fact that Kamala is even going to try to run again shows how fucked that party is.

    Yeah okay pack it in boys, we’re screwed lol.

    Why even bother to run a primary at this point? Just let the DNC select their candidate so we can skip out on the 6 months of sham and shilling.

    spoiler

    Also told all yall we need progressives to split from DNC and form a fresh 3rd party bruh.

    As much as I love her, this country has shown time and time again it is unwilling to elect a woman president. It sucks, and I don’t like it, but the Dems need to run a dude.
