It’s Aocillary’s turn
If we get the point in which AoC is a candidate and we have a fair election. I’m all for it. I’ll keep working towards it.
But, fuck. I feel like any DSA related candidate is gonna be in prison or assassinated by 2028. Half the media is trying to get a random mentally ill American to assassinate Abdul and Omar.
If we get to a 2028 election with AoC able to run, we’re in a better place than I’m expecting. I’ll keep pushing towards it though.
I think people are dramatically underestimating how rapidly climate stability is breaking down, and that we’ve already triggered unstoppable warming feedback loops.
Honestly, it’s why we are where we are. Why fascism hooked itself to the Trump admin. The capitalist class know. They are preparing.
If you think fascism started in 2016, you got a lot more history to learn about the US, lol.
I will vote for her no matter which ballot she is on. But I am selfish, and want to keep her in NY as Chuck’s Senate replacement for a term or two (or even three!). Maybe in another 12 or 18 years, the country’s a whole will be ready to elect a woman as President. We’re clearly not now.
(It has been my theory for years that America is too sexist to elect a woman as President, but is self-aware enough to know they can’t say that, so we get excuses like “I don’t like her laugh” or “She did this one thing I dont like in the past, so I’m never voting for her”, instead of the real excuse “She has the wrong parts”…).
Plus, from a political perspective she is better off waiting. President is a top-tier job. Let’s say she runs in 2028, and wins two terms. Now her political career has peaked, everything else she does is less important, and she’s not even 50 yet. Worse yet, she runs in 2028, and loses. Now she has the baggage of a failed campaign to deal with, and she’s not even 40 yet. Liberals seem to be less tolerant of Presidential losers than Conservatives.
She’s smart, and understands all this. Her thought process might be: are the Democrats putting up another clown this time around? She might risk the run sooner if she thinks there’s no one compelling in the pipeline.

we all saw pelosi, jeffries, and schumer block her from a key committee because of her politics last year – what makes you think that they would ever changed their minds?
Agreed. She can probably do way more good as a senator.
Won’t happen. 4 reasons :
- woman
- not white
- USA is a deeply racist state
- she’s a woman and not white
Can’t wait for these to go away when Harris announces her 2028 run.
Liberals continue not to understand that republican-lite isn’t a winning strategy demonstrates how racist and sexist they are.
We are at the point in which the rascism and sexism that fills the 30% of this country that still supports Trump is convincing the other 70% that a good candidate is impossible.
Stop just repeating the same garbage that they believe as if it’s the reason we shouldn’t support the best candidate with enough name recognition and support to actually win AND create a material change for people in this country trying to pay for groceries.
You’re just being MAGA by proxy.
Mexico has a socialist, Jewish, female president. Mexico isn’t some “woke” fucking country. And it’s definitely not Jewish.
Americans (70%) wants a president that doesn’t fuck them over at every turn and actually offers them something that isn’t tax cuts to the rich.
Grow the fuck up. Don’t tell me we need another fucking Biden or a Neoliberal zionist from California or fucking Georgia. Fucking put me in a camp first.
Stop living in a fairy tale gringo!
What happen to Hillary and Kamala? Don’t tell me they were incompetent to be president. Your country prefer a buffon serial rapist overt them.
When the orange buffon will be done and gone, do you believe that something will magically happen and everything will be back to normal again? Trump is a symptom, YOU as a whole have to deal with your own deamons.
So stop living in a fairy tale
What happened?
They succeeded in accomplishing the near impossible task of being more unlikable and horrible than that orange clown.And they prefer to vote or to abstaint.
Letting the worst candidat to ne elected.
And this happen twice.
So yeah I’m pretty realist.
if these nasty genocidal people is what they propose as ‘alternative’ then they deserve to lose.
The fairy tale is the doomerism that keeps you from action.
There is no alternative thought here. Not from you. Not from the original comment. It is acceptance of loss and nothing more.
Your criticism is that I am not pre-accepting of defeat. It’s not of AoC as a candidate. It’s not offering a better alternative. It is that I am frustrated with someone repeating reactionary talking points but just saying they are bad.
We know they are bad. I care about working to change them. And accepting defeat as the “inevitable reality” is not helpful.
I’d rather live in a “fairytale” trying to change things than living in a “reality” of doomerism that is nothing more than the last part of your liberal individualism refusing to die.
Grow the fuck up. The fascist are as unpopular as they have ever been right now. Show some backbone and give more than just “it won’t work”. If you got a better path I’m all ears.
I want to end wars and support for genocide. Gimme a better candidate to support. I’ll wait…
Fairy tale!
Yes you are deep inside. Proof?
OK. Columbine was 27 years ago, and what happen since? 5 presidents, republicans and democrats. And what happen? Nothing. Still school shooting.
You live in your fairy tale, hopping that something will change. The reality is your country is stuck somewhere in the past, and the rest of the world is moving.
Please downvote me it’s on me.
What makes you think that @durably465@lemmy.ml thinks you shouldn’t support. They are just being jokingly doomer I suppose.
BTW also forgot to mention “communism something something” as one of the reasons
Doomerism is just the final stage of liberal thought. It’s reactionary bull shit. It also wasn’t written as a joke beyond just doubling down on reactionary ideas. It was written as a means to give up. I’m tired of that useless type of shit and it’s past 12am here so I’m cranky, unmedicated, and not able to sleep.
I’ll stand by the frustration even if it wasn’t warranted to the specific comment.
Not that it matters to me because I view them as imperialists anyway, but the US elected Obama, a black man falsely framed as a Muslim, not once but twice.
The very next election cycle Hillary Clinton, a woman that ran on little more than being a woman, won the popular vote.
If AOC runs and loses it will be because of things like gerrymandering, an electoral college that shouldn’t exist and trillionaire Republicans outspending her campaign.
ridiculous.
He was the perfect example that it doesn’t matter, as long as you serve the eternal interests of the uniparty. did you forget about Obama?
And could’ve been a woman (twice if you consider Clinton the ghoul as human) were it not for their own appaling policies.AOC, being the astroturfed controlled opposition fake is perfect.
