AOC Seen as ‘Face’ of Democratic Party — and It’s Not Even Close: New Poll

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.
-
No, we don't have time for that. We just have to do a tea party on the Democratic party... Which is what she's been doing
They do have to go, but we're keeping the house and the dog
-
You're not really disagreeing. AOC is perceived as the face of the democratic party and it's true. She's at least offering consistent resistance while the feckless leadership of the party does nothing but line their pockets and ensure 100 percent unconditional support of Israel to the determient of all else.
I don't even disagree with your conclusions necessary, if it's impossible to dislodge Pelosi and Schumer. But building a party from scratch is really fucking hard. Hijacking one might be easier.
-
Surely 3rd party will work this time!
-
Potentially with local elections first. Build it up from the ground up.
Not like the Green Party and Jill Stein's goofy ass.
-
-
They're going to stay there making bank off of insider trading until they're so ancient someone accidentally walks through and disperses the dust cloud known as Pelosi, and they finally decide they have enough money to reach supply-side Jesus.
-
Just insider trading? Those super pacs are the fucking Democrats and Republicans at this point. Greed itself is our new overlord, business ethics are dead and rotting.
-
-
-
We could do so much worse!
-
We will do so much worse. AOC lost a committee seat race to a guy with terminal cancer who is dead four months after taking the position.
The people might love her, but the party hates her. AOC has no future in the modern Democratic party.
-
-
There is no more Democratic Party.
-
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".
-
Are they... Still considering Harris for 2028??? What? Please god. Make it stop. Please.
-
It's.
Her.
Turn.
-
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.
-
HRC
-
Praise the lawd!
-
-
-
Zero chance the DNC will run her. They'll give us another white bread, right of center, compromise candidate. The Overton window has shifted so far right we need to build a new wall to house it.
-
Personally, I think it is too late to save the DNC. Best to start over in a better place.
-
If Dems just move a little bit further to the right...
-
This is something I see come up a lot, but I think people are severely underestimating the amount of infrastructure that would be lost by "starting over." Fundraising, state committees, local committees, volunteers, etc. "Starting over" effectively means surrendering nearly every election on any scale larger than a municipality to MAGA Republicans for years while those networks are rebuilt and the country cannot survive that. We need more political parties, but unless and until a viable 3rd party emerges, we're stuck with what we've got and refusing to support the only non MAGA options at the ballot box will actively make the country worse.
If you don't like it, help build that 3rd party and recruit candidates and donors to your cause (or try to shift the DNC and the Overton window back to the left). Until that's done there unfortunately isn't a better alternative.
-
-
The Overton Window isn't real. Political parties can create their own political realities by leading the electorate, rather than cowardly tailing the electorate like they're advertisers trying to sell a product.
-
The Overton Window isn't real.
Define real? There is certainly something in US politics that acts exactly like Overton Window.
-
sounds extremely unlikely tho.

I still have to lol about how the stupid qons tried to use her dancing in university as some kind of BAD thing.
Back when Denver Post still had a comment section and they'd allow gifs, and if the topic was AOC, I'd post her dancing. A few of the local wingnuts would try to get me banned/my posts removed over it, esp. if one of the qanon mods was on-duty...
She's the best. Why the buzzkills in the unhinged right tried to paint a beautiful intelligent rep like AOC dancing during college as a bad thing is anyone's guess, but that sure as fuck blew up in their faces....
-
So let me get this straight: somehow just dancing is somehow worse than drinking beers in fraternities and raping?
-
She committed the sin of being a woman
-
-
-
I’ve been saying for about 5 years, maybe better, that she is the person I am most excited to vote for as president of the United States one day.
I don’t even have another name in mind.
I will be as happy to vote for her as I was for Sanders in the primaries, twice. I legit can’t wait.
-
Jasmine Crockett seems to be "AOC but sarcastic".
-
How about Jasmine Crockett? I hope between the two of them, they start inspiring and generating tons more to go into politics.
-
Hope Crockett gets to be gov of texas... She reminds me of Ann Richards in all the best ways. She'd make a great president too.
-
-
-
My concern is that now that Trump is in office and project 2025 is in full swing, that we will never see another fair election again.
-
The crimson lining is that we might get to build a new United States, free of the GOP and DNC. The problem is the nature of that crimson.
-
That's his obvious intention, yes.
There's still some things that can go wrong for the fascists, but we're certainly on a trajectory towards eternal leader supreme chancellor Trump.
-
When he dies they're just gonna make him into an LLM. He already ignores all previous instructions so he's laid the groundwork
-
-
-
I promise you the Democratic Party will do whatever it takes to keep her away from leadership roles because she actually wants to change things.
That’s the one thing the Democratic Party is consistent on: rejecting progressives, even if it means letting the conservatives win.
-
always so strange to see the words 'guarantee' or 'promise' when someone is giving a predictive opinion for an outcome they have no contol over.
-
-
We should be so lucky to have a party she represents in this country. The only reason she has that seat is by defying the DNC as a spoiler. They only elevate politicians to the Federal level on the basis of how good they've proven they are at collecting that sweet, sweet corpo bribe money.
The DNC and democratic leadership would rather dissappear her Than Trump by a mile.
The pendulum is the point. Both parties are well bribed to maintain the capitalist's murderous control. Good cop and bad cop are both just fine with mass homelessness and entire murder for profit confidence scheme market sectors. One laughs at you when the capitalists cause you harm, the other just shrugs and says "golly gee market forces nothing we can do! But I affirm your right to die horribly as who you are here in this cardboard box under a freeway! Pronouns are free so whatever I still get bribed 😁" (edit to be clear, respecting others identity is the right thing to do and basic decency, but there's a hierarchy of needs, self-actualization only matters if you have your basic needs met. You cannot live in an affirmation ribbon, you cannot eat a preferred pronoun, priorities.)
If the Democrats were led by someone talking about redistribution, that bribe gravy train would stop. If by some miracle AOC manages to steal the party out from under them as Trump did the RNC, the DNC would be fighting her every move and comment the way we wish they were countering Trump right now. In fact, here's how Democrat leadership spent the months leading to Trump's inauguration:
https://www.axios.com/2024/12/12/aoc-pelosi-oversight-committee-connolly-raskin
Defending the country from one of the only slightly left Reps in the entire federal government.
Democrats like Schumer and Pelosi are far closer to Trump than AOC.

Next to Bernie she's the best the Dems have to offer. And for any possible run for President, she beats Bernie on age.
If they run Harris again, or Newsom or some other conservative Democrat in 2028, the party is fucked.
-
Newsom is trying his level best to have a right-of-center glow up right now. I'm almost certain that the DNC plans to tilt the scales for him. They likely will resist running a woman again for a long time because they've stupidly come to the conclusion that it was the genitalia of the candidates and not the quality of the candidate, campaign, and platform that caused them to lose what should have been two of the most winnable elections ever.
-
Progressive woman of color
Or
Conservative white guy with (D) next to his name.
Pretty sure we can guess who will win the primary if they can help it. DNC leadership is not interested in what it's membership wants.
-
Absolutely. I can't see AOC being given a chance in 2028 unfortunately, unless things change a bit. Not excited for Newsom as a candidate :/
-
-
Her as president and Bernie as vp. If they kill her then they put someone even more opposed to their views in power.
-
As much as I absolutely adore Bernie, the guy needs a rest. He'd be starting as VP for a potential 8 year period of two terms at 86.....That means he'd be 94 by the time he left office. The man is an absolute beast, but father time catches up with us all and I don't want to see his final days in politics to be a sad decline after everything he's given. He deserves to serve as a badass senator, like he always has, until a progressive gets elected as president and then retire.
AOC and Pete Buttigeig as VP, on the other hand......or Tim Waltz again......or Elizabeth Warren for a double team, all woman ticket? Hell yeah.
-
The Gore Strategy
-
-
Agree but have the senior members support and coach AOC, have a united front. We're supposed to support and learn from our elders but they have an obligation to move aside and allow the younger leaders to rise.
-
Of course they will. Harris or Buttigeig
-
Who's the heel and when are they going to have a no-holds-barred cage match on PPV?
-
She's one of the few democrats that I would vote for president.
-
Water is wet. Wasn't this obvious when the DNC kingmakers, I mean, leadership decided to boot her out of a key committee position with a person that that could have passed for a republican and retired after getting the position? A poll was needed to see this?
-
Water isn’t wet. What touches water is wet.
-
Water touches other water therefore water is wet. If you isolated a single molecule of H2O, that water would not be wet. However, it is nearly impossible to do this, hence it would be the exception and not the norm.
This argument isn't profound, it's just short sighted.
-
If you have an amount of water that can be divided, it touches other water. Therefore water is wet unless it is a single molecule
-
Water is wet, and pendants are annoying rather than clever.
-
And water doesn't touch water?
-
Things with hydrogen in it are wet.
-
-
-
Weird. The party that claims to be "for the people" keeps putting centrists in charge. We're ready for someone who is actually for the people!
-
Quickest way to mobilize the Democratic party is to threaten to put a progressive in charge
-
Sadly I don't think it's possible to have a party "for the people" with only two parties. There's too much pressure for both of them to champion the status quo.
-
"Championing the status quo" is not how I would describe what Republicans are doing right now.
-
Yes it is. If the part "for the people" turns out to be captured you drop it and get in an actual party for the people. Rinse and repeat as needed. There is a problem with political parties growing too old and becoming too institutionalized. But keeping them in power instead of giving them the boot is a choice made by the voters.
-
-
It all makes sense when you realize who makes the cutoff for what they consider "people."
-
Controlled opposition
-
Buzzword catchphrase
-
-
I'm confused. Are you arguing that AOC is or isn't for the people?
-
She absolutely is. Her nomination is the DNC's nightmare.
-
-
-
The best part about it, is that the old-as-fuck Democrats hate it, which makes me love it all the more.
-
Hopefully we get to tell them to get in line or they're a Trump lover at some point.
After all the right-wing Neoliberals I've voted for over the years out of harm reduction to attempt to stop literal murderous fascists, it would be nice to see them eat some of that shit and vote for someone with ideals they loathe, win or lose.
-
-
That's funny, because the dnc does not share any of her ideology, and it's not even close
-
Because the DNC leadership doesn't represent anyone except for the donors who own them.
-
The voters keep voting for the same corporate fellatio enthusiasts, so I guess they are representing their voters. The core Dem voters are as bad as, and walk hand-in-hand with, the DNC.
-
-
Yeah she needs to spilt and be the face of an actual workers party, not the mask for the failed democrats.
-
-
Make it clear to the Democratic Party establishment that progressive candidates will be on the ballot in every congressional district in Nov 2026, and they will be a spoiler candidate if they have to be. Either way, we are done with their shit. There will never be a better time.
-
they will be a spoiler candidate if they have to be
I'd rather phrase it as "and they better not run a neolib spoiler candidate". It's not the progressives with popular support who are spoilers, but the neoliberals who are only propped up by corpo lobbies.
-
The way to prevent a new party from being a spoiler, is having the neoliberal DNC not running a candidate.
Since they clearly aren't interested in winning or stopping Trump, nothing would change.
-
Write your senators about this folks, if you really care about Bernie and AOC, write your Senator and let them know you support Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Urge them to stand with them, or to at least listen to what these two folks have to say.
It probably wont do anything, but if we keep writing them (I write weekly) dropping their names, maybe they will take the fuckin hint
-
-
She's already 35. Run her.
-
she's got my vote
-
She should distance herself from that sinking ship. It's like continuing CPR on a victim who is already dead. Yeah you're trying but ultimately it's no use. Both main parties have been so tarnished that even being associated with the name is a smudge on the record.
-
I agree with you, but I also feel that AOC is what the Democratic party is supposed to be. She is not the status quo.
-
I'm confident AOC could raise an impressive amount of campaigning money as a single senator. But, impressive enough to account for an entire party, taking seats in thousands of positions across hundreds of local districts? Much as I'd like it, I don't see how it can happen.
I'd also like it if campaign money wasn't necessary, but 99% of America doesn't actively follow politics; it's needed to bring it to their doorstep. We've been covering the gap in things like Elon Musk's campaign funds via a lot of volunteer work, but that can only go so far.
-
So just bury the head in the sand and let the world (or at least US) collapse (i.e. uncontrolled climate change, entire degradation of the social system to capitalism)?
-
-
She's not the face of the Democratic Party
She's the face of a completely new and different party that has nothing to do with old Democrats.
To me, I've been viewing the US as being governed under a one party state for a while ... the Republicans and the Democrats form two halves of the same organization.
The US doesn't need a third party
They need to form a new second opposition party because the old one morphed into the monstrous thing we have today.
-
The US needs a third, a fourth, a fifth and several more parties as viable alternatives.
They to drop any weird FPTP systems, this will allow new parties to come into play.
This would also end the ridiculous gerrymandering shit
-
Omg, I love you. I've been screaming this since CGPGrey's videos about voting and alternatives to what we have. Getting that is gonna require all existing party members to be cool with a complete loss of power and an increase in the amount of work the have to do to keep their power or get elected.
It'll take the states. However, there are already states trying to ban alternative voting methods.
-
And there's no chance it can get one while $ is in American politics.
-
Yeah, no.
If no party can get to 270 electoral votes, the president is picked by the House of Representatives.
That means congress would need be flippped into third party majority first.
Splitting the left off only benefits the far right. Anyone who thinks otherwise is stuck in an echo chamber.
-
-
One of the UK’s two parties has died and the other is in the process of killing itself. Two party duopolies can disintegrate, even under FPTP, we just have to hope that Left parties emerge, not just rebranded far-right ones.
-
The Democratic Party is just a vessel. It used to be the right wing (relative). Now it's the left wing (relative). Bernie and AOC don't really fit in with the Dems, but they can. Same with Manchin.
There was a time where I thought a Musk type could rally many behind a weird Libertarian version of the DNC or RNC and shift the landscape. But he just went hard fascist as soon as he publicly aligned with the right.
-
Any time someone can't tell the difference between centrists and fascists, I just have to assume that their stance is more about arguing than it is about a sincerely held ideology.
-
Pretty much, yeah.
Taking over the Democratic Party vs starting a new party is kinda like addressing climate change on Earth vs terraforming Mars.
The former sounds painful and bureaucratic while the latter sounds exciting and innovative.
But if you can’t fix the party or planet you’ve got, which has like 80% of the hard work done already, what hope do you have of doing a new thing from scratch?
-
One of the criticisms against the Democratic Party is that they aren't particularly democratic. Party insiders and the wealthy hold far more power and practically pick the nominees.
Rather than compare them to the planet from which we were birthed, I would compare them to a shitty boyfriend we're afraid to dump.
-
-
Fuck that.
Centrists/Republcian Lites don't deserve to the party.
They are free to fight republicans over control of that shitshow.
-
Or put another way, it's time for the non-fascist party to realign ideologically as part of the Seventh Party Era
-
-
Her rally with Bernie was pretty electrifying. I can see how her polices might be polarizing to some, but damn she can get the working class support. Just gott keep the momentum up and get people to actually vote.
-
Polarizing like a magnet. We'd have a force for good instead of a lesser evil. That's a lot better at getting people to the polls.
-
-
"Democrat voters want leftist leadership"
-
Coming in a distant second was close ally Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The pair recently went to various states with their Fighting Oligarchy tour. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) placed third in the survey with 8%.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris came in fourth with 6%. Following her was Pete Buttigieg with 5%, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) with 5%, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) with 4%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) with 2%.
LOL, Chuck Schumer didn't even place. That gives me a little hope.
-
I keep forgetting he's a Democrat
-
-
DNC: "Ewwww a progressive? We wouldn't be as rich with a progressive in charge!"
-
Sorry to say but it would be a bow wrapped gift to the GOP. It's very easy to brand her a socialist and on top of that she's a woman.
-
It's time for Democrats to own socialism. It's milquetoast appeals to centrism that make the party boring and come across as dishonest.
That doesn't mean being unreasonably uncompromising or unpragmatic when it comes to getting things done across the isle in government, but at least be true to your ideals and aspirations.
Bernie would have easily beaten Trump if voters had the option. AOC will likewise wipe the floor. A real alternative not more of the same.
-
Actually what would happen is dem support would crash even more because the GOP playbook works. AOC will be branded a socialist, a communist, ready to sell out, to take people's property etc. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, the electorate will believe it. If the dems want to win they need to lose the haughtiness and a projecting an air of superiority that they know what's right for people and appeal to blue collar workers again. i.e. messaging needs to change. That might make people more receptive to left wing / progressive views. They also need to read the GOP playbook and create some divisive issues for the right to deal with. But expecting people to accept/embrace/own socialism is a joke. It won't happen. Think smart.

“Currently, there is no consensus on the face of the Democrat Party, as a majority of voters either give the title to AOC (26%) or simply say there is none (26%),” Co/efficient concluded.
Never heard of Co/efficient, but “Democrat Party” is a bit of a red flag. From mediabiasfactcheck:
FiveThirtyEight, an expert on measuring and rating pollster performance, has evaluated 20 polls by co/efficient, earning 0.7 stars for accuracy, indicating they are Mixed Factual by MBFC’s criteria. They also conclude that their polling moderately favors the Right with a score of -2.7, which equates to a Right-Center polling bias. In general, co/efficient is considered moderately accurate and demonstrates a right-leaning bias in polling.
-
MBFC gives The Guardian and Breitbart equivalent ratings for factuality, which is patently ridiculous
It's not a reliable gauge of anything, and it's harmful to trust its rankings
-
Who fact checks the fact checkers?
-
All of those sites are right-wing propaganda operations. Every single one of them.
Factual news is almost always going to be liberal biased. Sites like these encourage journalists to bias their news stories to the right for no good reason.
I'm surprised so many people are falling for this.
-
-
However, co/efficient also states that it provides research for mostly Republicans, such as Gregory Steube (R-FL)
-
Democrat Party
This "red flag" is meaningless to people broke the age of 50 or so. I am a Democrat. I vote for the candidate who is a Democrat. Obama was a Democrat.
I don't have time to get pissy over the difference between the noun and the adjective. If that's all the points they can score on us, they are welcome to them.
The review by 538 is a much more important judgement.
-
This “red flag” is meaningless to people broke the age of 50 or so. I am a Democrat. I vote for the candidate who is a Democrat. Obama was a Democrat.
I get it man. I'm over 50 too and my team is the White Sox. I support the White Sox no matter that. Whats important in sports is that you support the team of your home town. Sure they were the worst team in 2024 and not entertaining to watch. Doesnt matter.
Anyone who writes scathing articles of the sox pathetic performance in the newspaper is wrong and disloyal, and is missing the whole point of sports. Its not about celebrating human athleticism and competition in striving to to be the best a human can be, its about adherence and loyalty to the corporation who owns your local team.
Adherence to your political party is similar. Government is not about advancing or serving society, its about eating rotten scraps off the floor and being grateful for having that much.

"And it's not even close"
She's in a statistical tie with "nobody".
-
I dont think the electoral system allows for this "nobody" person to win. Maybe someone can change their legal name to "nobody".
-
-
Primaries should do it, then you just have to make sure the superdelegates don't ruin the result...
-
Ocasio-Cortez was far ahead of other listed Democrats. Coming in a distant second was close ally Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The pair recently went to various states with their Fighting Oligarchy tour. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) placed third in the survey with 8%.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris came in fourth with 6%. Following her was Pete Buttigieg with 5%, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) with 5%, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) with 4%, and California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) with 2%.
Why did they list the percentage for all of these people, but not for Bernie's second place position?
That is a rhetorical question.
I was going to calculate his percentage but 26 + 26 + 22 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 2 is 98%. Did they lump Bernie in with 'other'?
-
For the same reason they DIDN'T EVEN MENTION he was a candidate half the time the media mentioned the primaries were happening despite him being in 1st or second at those times.
-
The rich would never allow a President Sanders. They have too much to lose.
-
-
The survey they cite has Bernie at 12%, so I'm not sure what method they did to allow for more than 100% - maybe you could choose more than one answer?
-
Oh, the link underlining was subtle enough that I didn't see it.
Yeah, they must have allowed for more than one for the numbers to add up.
-
-
For everyone except the ones in charge 🤷
-
That’s one of the easier fixes IIRC.
While DNC chairs have consolidated a great deal of power, have many ways to self-deal and dig-in using the bylaws (such as determining caucus partitions/schedules and being superdelegates for life) their position is subject to internal approval of DNC membership itself. That is, you can just fire them. You don’t have to wait for them to resign to call for their replacement.
Regardless the committee is more like an HOA than a government body. They make suggestions and endorsements, host the convention, support candidacies strategically and financially, and threaten to take that away if you break rank. But they have no authority to say who runs, or even who runs as a Democrat.
But most importantly, AOC has always been a grass roots candidate. It would be great to have DNC support, their backing and resources, but she’s never needed it before. I can’t imagine she wants it now.
In fact, I think it’s far more likely that the DNC will one day ask her to endorse them.
-
-
and she is old enough for presidential nomination now. do it, aoc.
-
The US is simply too misogynistic to elect a woman as president, especially a woman of color.
The unfortunate reality is that our best bet for the White House is a progressive white man with AOC as VP.
I believe that even AOC knows this.
-
You will get Kamala or Gavin and you will like your Trump 3rd term. - Dems
-
I don't think that's true tbh. The Dems have never managed to nominate a popular woman as their presidential candidate before. Clinton was almost universally disliked by the public (for lots of good reasons other than her gender), and ex-prosecutor Harris's campaign was hamstrung by Biden, as well as being seen as an other pro-corporate Democrat stooge. AOC might actually have a fighting chance compared to her predecessors. But she'll never be able to be the Democratic candidate until the old guard of leadership is replaced, let's face facts.
-
You can’t say that because there is no reliable data to go off of. Kamala and Clinton were terrible candidates.
-
You think we're still doing elections? I cherish your optimism
-
-
-
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) placed third in the survey with 8%.
I like Miss Crockett. She's impressed me over the last couple of years.
-
Dude before trump was there a "face of x party"? That sounds like populist crap.
-
Please don’t fuck this up DNC! Embrace the change!
-
Harris was supposed to be the one who'd get the Progressives excited and she got fewer votes than Biden did in 2020.
-
Why was she supposed to be? And why did she spend so much time on stage with conservative republicans trying to prove how middle of the road she was?
-
WEIRD! I KNOW Progressives and they LOVE Bombing Children and KEEPING the Status Quo! It's so WEIRD they WOULDNT Vote for Harris!
-
Harris was supposed to be the one who'd get the Progressives excited
Well whoever thought of that was clearly a moron
-
Backing a genocide and pretending like people weren't having financial issues just because the stock market was up didn't help much.
She didn't have any progressive stances, why were they supposed to be excited about her?
-
She abandoned all her progressives positions early. I'm no political consultant, but I think thats usually not the best method to win over progressives. I dont think she planned on progressive support-- I think someone told her she could win some republicans and never have to talk to a progressives ever again.
-
Why would she have gotten progressives excited?
-
-
-
I'd describe myself as a liberal more than a progressive, but it's obvious that she's become the most recognizable Democrat at the federal level. Other democrats simply have not been pushing back on the Republicans in the way that she has, and it's fucking baffling. My theory is that most politicians are really skilled at fundraising rather than building groundswell political movements and so they're just completely out of their element in this environment. I don't agree with all of the progressive platform, but we need more politicians with character like hers and fewer geriatrics who refuse to release their grip on power
-
Other democrats simply have not been pushing back on the Republicans in the way that she has, and it's fucking baffling.
It’s a lot less baffling if you consider the possibility that they never believed any of the shit they said about Trump being a threat to democracy, or if they did that part doesn’t bother them. It was Theater Time during the election and now it’s Cooperation Time, and actually you’re the extreme one for not just seamlessly switching modes!
-
-
A note on this survey is that it was taken of all likely voters, so it's possible it could be influenced by conservatives being, let's say, not very normal about her. Regardless, people on both sides often see the Democratic party much further left than it really is.
-
No shit. The rest of them have their head's in the ground.
-
Please, we need her.
-
I can understand why she is.
-
All the rest have their noses in donors assess rn. We can't even see their faces!
-
Only downside of her as president would be not beeing named Lisa ...
-
What's Elizabeth Warren been up to lately? That's who I'd vote for of I were American.
-
She's been busy shouting about all the wrong parts of crypto to regulate and then not doing anything about any of it.
-
-
I hope she actually changes things and doesn't go down the path the likes of genocide joe and grifting to say things will change when they won't
-
Not entirely sure thats a flex
-
Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the senators who stood with Schumer and folded as they voted for the republican spending bill, was literally the AOC of yesteryear. You can push populist candidates to your party of capital until the cows come home, but special interests will swallow them up every single time for eternity. You need to think beyond the democrats and American electoralism in general for that matter. The devolution into fascism is well underway. It's time to abandon the democrats that helped achieve it.
