  4. I think she’s going to be a fantastic President one day. I think she’ll be the one who drags the party gradually back to the left.

  7. At this point, AOC needs to insert herself with leadership.

    I can’t fucking stand Schumar and Pelosi. They are entitled, out of touch old fucks. Don’t get me wrong, so are Republicans, but they Pander to their audience. Putting fake acts of Trump working in a McDonald’s and truck driver actually appealed to the public.

    Dems need to do the same. Democrars are honestly seen as the party of white collar and educated workers… which is not the majority of the US. Most Americans are dumb and gullable. Think what a dumb and gullable person wants to see and relate to them.

    Edit: Albiet, Pelosi isn’t in an official ‘leadership position’, but she’s been in politics for so long to not have her in play. Obama isn’t technically involved either, but he took initiative because who the fuck else was going to do it?

    I’m not hating. I’m pissed and sick of old people being in power.

  8. Good. It’s a different world that these geezers do not understand.

  9. I wholeheartedly support this. AOC can run circles around the GOP knuckleheads on that committee

  10. Need younger people that understand the current climate. Half the older heads don’t even truly understand how technology works yet passing laws on it.

  11. As she should given that the “more senior colleagues” are playing a different political game for a world that no longer exists where you can play the decadal waiting game for a shift in policy that lets you back into power. Courtesy politics has fucked us. It’s time to get serious

  12. She would be the ideal candidate for this. One of the last hopes of the party.

  13. No guys we been taught this lesson we need someone else not AOC

  14. Everyone who thinks they can do better needs to step up and put their hat in the ring, no more Dunning Kruger

  17. I’m a center left dem and I’m all for her. I don’t really like socialism but we need a change. I thought Biden was a really good president but the country has lost its mind. So if we need to go a different direction to get back on the path of sanity I’m all for it.

  20. My money is on her for 2028 president… assuming a) there’s still an election, and b) she isn’t in an internment camp/deported or assassinated by then…

  23. Girl fucking get it. She has been a tireless advocate for the working class and she’s real af. This is the way forward. The old guard does not understand the current climate.

  24. Give her and Crockett whatever the fuck they want. I’m sure I’m missing some. On the Senate side I’m….not enthused.

  26. These old politicians don’t even know what the internet is let alone how social networks make money. Their old kick, they need to get out the way and just give advice. Dems lost. They need to change the way they do things. New voices. The old didn’t work.
