Ocasio-Cortez says Biden could 'do more' to earn votes than just attack Trump to advance Democrats’ vision in 2024
Ocasio-Cortez says Biden could 'do more' to earn votes than just attack Trump to advance Democrats’ vision in 2024
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) joins Meet the Press exclusively to discuss President Biden’s re-election campaign and the divide within the Democratic Party over the war in Gaza.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'd love to see her run for President.
I'd vote for her.
I'd also would need to purchase industrial bulk popcorn to watch all the conservatives literally implode if she was nominated.
When she streamed with hbomberguy and said 'trans rights' on the mic I genuinely hoped she would. She is young, she is based, she has charisma most democrats lack. But dems seem to prefer safe bets so they'd nominate Joe until he dies. Even at that time they can vote her in just because she's not a geriatic pos like her opponent.
She may be able to next time. But it all depends on this election. Switching from an already sitting President to her would never happen. That's like firing the person who made your business run somewhat normal after a complete shit show.
It reminds me of a good movie, Wag the Dog, where a slogan Don't change horses in mid-stream was very untimely and cringe. But yeah, she's nobody to the most and there are years of groundwork to even put her on a ballot.
'24 is the first election she's old enough. Give her time.
I'm sure she will eventually.
I used to feel that way. I no longer feel that way.
What did she do to make you change your mind?
Cozying up to power.
You have anything more concrete than that?
Honestly, I dont feel like listing out everything. The entire point of justice democrats / progressives was to go against the establishment. Yet they are voting with these ghouls every time. Even on issues like Palestine, they continually drop the ball. I am done with them. They have no intention of improving things.
She's pretty consistently been against genocide in Palestine It's just that she doesn't get to decide when the rest of the establishment goes along with it
You don't vote in favor of something you're against. Either she's a liar or a coward.
And this is why progressives struggle so much. Idealism is great but not always compatible with reality. Compromises have to be made, and you have to redo your strategies when you see how the sausage is actually made. I suspect if you won an election to be a House representative, people you currently agree with would come to see you as a sell out too, simply for adjusting your tactics to meet the new reality you see.
Not supporting a genocide is a low fucking bar. If you can compromise on the annihilation of innocent children, you are a shit person and don't deserve a vote. Please be fucking serious.
