  1. Oh good. I highly suggest we win the election first and then we can sort through the intraparty disagreements after. 

  2. God I love the big tent.

    For all its faults, and it has a few, there’s no place I’d rather be.

  3. “Emerges”

    It’s like she hasn’t been doing this for years already

  4. You know what would get young progressives to vote? Having a candidate that isn’t ancient.

  5. She’s going to become the new fear tactic of right winger media because they’re so scared of her running for president ~~when~~ now that she’s legally able to.

    Edit: Apparently I need to point out that yes, I fucking know, she’s been a target for years. My point, for you dense mfrs, is she’ll be the new presidential fear mongering that the right loves doing years before the next presidential election.

  6. Unlike Sanders, AOC actually say positive things about Biden and praises his historic legislative achievements.

  9. Hopefully she can convince him to fuck off with the fellatio of Israel’s war on Gaza.

  10. Every day that passes is a day she looks more like a party leader.

  11. This isn’t surprising, I’d vote AOC for president if she ever runs. I’d take her over Kamala any day.

  13. Seriously I’d vote for her for President. Seeing how Trump had zero experience in politics, AOC is already more qualified. Plus she turns 35 this year so that makes her old enough too.

  14. I just wanna eat some street tacos and hang out with AOC at a street market she seems fun to be around.

  17. She understands that, while she may vehemently disagree with Biden on a host of issues, she can publicly express that disagreement and exert influence on his policies without the fear of being silenced or locked up. That’s not an option with Trump. Even if Trump doesn’t lock her up, he’s not listening to any external pressure on Gaza or anything from democrats.

    Not to mention that, while she may disagree with 65% of Biden’s policies, that number is closer to hundred with Trump.

  19. Looking forward to voting for her to be President someday

  22. Why can’t people just say thank you. Bitching about somehow not doing enough in the past, even if true, is such a losing proposition. Listen up….we are a coalition. Everybody has to have a shoulder to the wheel. Progressives, unions, old folks, liberals; we have a nation to save so we can anchor a chaotic world.

  23. This is a good move, for everyone.

    AOC is a key ally for the Biden campaign. She will have at very least a non-zero amount of influence getting out key young voters to the polls.

    The Biden campaign is a key ally for the impending AOC 2028 run. With an endorsement from a very successful president (the Trump tax cuts running out next year will mean by 2028 the economy will be god-tier), he will have at very least a non-zero amount of influence getting out key more-moderate voters to the polls.

    Literally everyone wins from this move. AOC is smart as hell.

  24. A progressive woman of color becoming the POTUS has to be the 2nd biggest fear for the GQPers, right after actual Jesus.

  28. And why wouldn’t she be? It’s about time those of us on the left stop letting the right define who is and isn’t “likable”. The right is terrified of her, and don’t want to run against her for president in 4 or 8 years. Instead, they want us to do their dirty work for them, dismiss her a “divisive”, and then we’ll nominate some generic congressperson who’s one defining trait is that they accomplished so little in congress that the right didn’t even bother smearing them.

  30. I love AOC, but it’s not a cult of personality. Biden seriously needs to make some major changes, and quickly, in terms of policy. We all know that younger and progressive voters are less likely to vote, but understanding this, it becomes clear that Biden has to shift left on many issues, or he’s setting himself up for a precarious position, the same way Gore did in 2000.

  32. A Biden surrogate? Are they having a baby together?

  33. Good. We will gladly take her. She’s smart. She wants to lift up regular wage earners, not billionaires. She actually works for the betterment of all of us.

    We support AOC and she supports us.
