She’s one of only half a handful of Dems that sound ready to lead people into battle. The difference between how she uses knowledge and intelligence to speak to people is in stark comparison to Trump sounding exactly like he has dementia. She listens and responds. Trump just keeps interrupting any question he doesn’t like. Fuck you Maga. Fuck you entirely. You god damn idiots.
I would prefer a new party, but I’m glad that she and Bernie are still out there.
Funny what happens when you actually do something.
Disagree. The Democrats dont know who they are anymore. Pelosi and the old Democrats have got to go.
AOC should just make a new party.
Are they… Still considering Harris for 2028??? What? Please god. Make it stop. Please.
It’s.
Her.
Turn.
“It’s my turn.” was everything wrong with Hillary’s campaign in a nut shell.
How the fuck are you able to make yourself look like an unhinged ego-maniac who just wants to be President for the sake of being President, when you’re running against Trump? That shouldn’t be possible.

This isn’t a problem of Trumpism, it’s a naturally occurring brainworm in Americans broadly speaking. Trump’s a nasty dim-witted freak, so watching him climb to the top of the pile we’ve been raised to believe was a meritocracy causes all sorts of cognitive dissonance. But everyone running for President (except maybe Mike Gravel) ends up looking like this. The thing that separates the Obamas and Trumps from the Hillarys and McCains is whether cheering for the unhinged ego-maniac feels fun or not.
Oof
She’s just the most recent candidate. The most recent candidates, and most recent Presidents and Vice Presidents are almost always in these sorts of lists, especially in the weeks and months following an election, before the next campaign starts.
Joe Biden was a favorite in these sorts of polls in 2015/16, despite saying he wouldn’t run, because he was just VP.
I pray to the gods you are correct. Save this comment for 2028

Take your up vote and go think about what you did.
Praise the lawd!
She’s one of like 3 US politicians that I don’t just kind of low-key actively hate.
I hope she will be successful in actually overtaking the party to some degree, as most high-ranking party members would certainly see that differently
So “AOC not even close” with 26% but Kamala Harris + Pete Buttigieg + Hakeem Jeffries + Cory Booker + Gavin Newsom = 22%. And that 26% has almost guaranteed the 8% of Crockett and the 12% of Sanders. So 26 + 12 + 8 = 46% but “not even close”.
The headline means “AOC is seen as the leader of the Dems and nobody is even close to her”.
The DNC chair is not usually an elected congressperson, and AOC is absolutely not looking for that job. They’re just talking about the person people think about as the leader.
I don’t know half the people you mentioned
well at least you own up to your ignorance, more than we can say for most.
Oh, the qurstion was rhetorical – the function was a relevancy check. The Hill may think all of those names are important but only half are making it out of the political wonkosphere.
(wonk is an mid 20th century word for nerd)
Was it fairly clear I was just being funny? I hoped so, I try not to tell jokes that actually need to be /s tagged.
They get a lot of AIPAC money for ads in their district. Outside of it they have no name.
There is no more Democratic Party.
Well afaik she’s the only one doing a nationwide campaign at the moment
We could do so much worse!
I have said this elsewhere, but i will not again vote for the Democratic Party until they actually put up progressive candidates. Not pinky swear to pass progressive policy. That means the candidates has to have a provable history of struggling against the Democratic Party to pass progressive policy. There are only two i know of and that’s Bernie Sanders (who is too old for the presidency), and AOC. Else it’s third party until the democrats learn better.
So the Dems are running the campaign for JD Vance now? Wow, easiest election ever
If she jettisons neoliberalism and takes a stand against genocide and imperialism she could begin to make a difference.
Who’s the heel and when are they going to have a no-holds-barred cage match on PPV?
